With all the layoffs and pending layoffs, anyone here still believe that your health insurance coverage should be attached to your job?

Nope. Never thought it ever should. It’s f’d up. Health is a human right and we should always be aiming for 100% coverage as a civil society. Arguably, the wealthiest country in the world doesn’t care about all of their citizens. And the current system is inefficient and costly - the most costly in the world - and yet it still doesn’t cover everyone.

Of course not. This is madness.

Busy season was rough, things are looking better now as things return to normal. Still working crazy hours if you count the daycare duties on top of utilization targets.
