Comment on Do younger people go home earlier now? Or go out less? Is it since COVID?
Turkey_Titty_city@kbin.social 9 months agoYeah you can control small things and fix them.
However, healthcare, education, and housing are rapidly becoming out of reach for the majority of people. That isn't a small thing any one person can fix on their own.

Yea that reminds me. I had some serious chest pains last week that almost felt like a heart attack (I’m under 25 tho so that’s rare) and went to ER. Every test came back normal for some reason. Maybe it was just some weird anxiety issues.
But anyways, the bill just arrived today and it says something $2000 for it, but luckly I’m insured under my mom’s employment’s family insurance plan so we only had to pay around $150 after insurance.
So basically, uninsured people just wouldn’t get medical help because they’ll assume whatever pain they have is a small problem, but it could one day very well be a heart attack.

That was a big worry for me during COVID’s height- uninsured people wouldn’t go to the hospital if they had severe symptoms and die.
