Disc Golf. Thats what throwing plastic at metal is. It helps to keep me motivated to get out and move around, and I'll hit the more mixed elevation courses as much as I can, like this little run on hole 16 at Dellwood:

I'm curious, how come you don't have medical insurance?

I'm a contractor and own my own business and insurance is way to expensive.

How much are we talking here? Per month.

**Frownland** · 06-26-2021, 10:52 PM

One America per month

*too

It's about $600 per month. Then there's the copays etc.. When I did a trial run of it, I went to get a check-up. I paid $50 for a copay to see the doc, he came in and rescheduled. I went again and paid another $50, and got the check-up, but he wanted to do some blood work, so I had to come back and yes pay another $50 copay. He then proceeds to tell me he forgot to send the bloodwork in so I'll have to come back another time. I said **** you. That's $750 for someone to tell me I'm healthy. No thanks.

Yeah my generation doesn't even know what medical insurance costs cause we know not to bother.

That's fucking bonkers. You guys need communism pronto.

The Batlord · 06-27-2021, 06:01 AM

I gotta check my notes but I think I've said something similar in the past.

Plankton · 06-27-2021, 06:10 AM

I think I remember you alluding to that at some point.

It's easier if y'all just move to Europe. Which feels like a Marxist/Leninist utopia compared with what you have going on there. Sheesh.
