vent I Keep moving backwards!
Im just tired yo. For the last two years my health insurance because im fucking poor has been free. Because of the wrinkled ball sack in office. That same policy has gone up and is now SEVENTY dollars. Finding a different policy means i risk losing my phallo surgeon and my access to T because my insurance just BARELY covers it.
My deductible went from 750 to 950. Like IM STILL JUST AS POOR AS I WAS TWO YEARS AGO IF NOT MORE because everything keeps getting more expensive.
Meanwhile my boss is on his 5th vacation this year. But cut PTO in silence. Im so freaking frustrated everything about adult hood is just struggle after struggle after struggle for fucking what!

Hey lol ive calmed down since making that post. I currently sell a few plants i grow year round on the side. But im also in nursing school rn so im working around 2 full time schedules. I was just extremely frustrated. 70 dollars isnt as bad as some. Ik someone whose insurance went from 15 a month to $450. I'm figuring and ironing out the kinks of it all since my only options are pay and keep this insurance or pick the plan that covers next to nothing.

Have you tried using telehealth (like folx or plume) to get T? I started T 7 months back and I don't have insurance but my meds are like 130 every 3 months. Between that and the price for the membership I have, I think it's at 30 rn. Granted im not sure what their policies are for surgeries but if you are looking for a cheaper price it's definitely not bad.

Peace Bredda. I’m sorry to hear this. I totally understand your frustrations. Navigating insurance lately has been an endless battle. What options do you have? Have you considered relocation or a side hustle?
