I know this isn't a new observation, but the way we finance health care in this country is a goddamn joke.

I'm fortunate to be in a position where I can pay this bill, but damn. This is one of the underappreciated consequences of a struggling small-college sector--institutions cutting costs by negotiating shittier employee health policies. In practice, it's essentially a pay cut.

Not to mention, tying health insurance to full-time employment is one of the worst policy choices this country continues to make.

Ironically, all of this is over cardiac care. NOT HELPING THE WHOLE CARDIAC SITUATION JERKS

Meanwhile, indoor masking at my uni has essentially disappeared, and who knows what'll happen with that. We've been very lucky so far, but how many more rolls of the dice do we have?

I'm just so tired, y'all.
