anytime i've tried to ask any of my parents about taxes

you're just trying to get me to move to california

^why not tho?

If you're ****ed financially if you get sick or hurt WITH the insurance, I'd almost rather not pay them a monthly fee to not give a sh*t about me when I'm sick.

everybody from cali is moving here because they can't afford living there

I tried insurance and almost went broke trying to find out what a rash was on my leg. $50 here, $100 there for a copay and like $1500+ a month just for the coverage. The doc kept 'forgetting' things too, so he had to reschedule, which was more fuken co-payments. Just dump me off at a leper colony or something.

Just saying there are options.

my friend planned a trip to cali next month on president's day weekend and i wanted to go but i didn't think i could get the time off

now i can :band:

i'm debating on having him drop me off

We were considering getting a roommate to start stacking

I told my parents, who are beautiful angels, that I am NOT paying $350 a month on top of my other bills to have the privilege to pay $1500 in the case I have to stay in the hospital one night. I told them that's like paying the mob protection money when you have no enemies. They refused to allow me to have no health insurance and I told them, "well, that's how it is", so now they pay for my insurance. I'm lucky. There are millions of people who don't have loving parents like I do and I'm grateful for that. It still bothers me to no end how our health care system is so terrible but I always feel like my voice is not the right one to hear when I'm covered by two people who love me.
