I've had the flu the entire week. It's still not done, and it's not getting better. At one point, I had a fever of 100.9 after taking DayQuil and 400mg ibuprofen, before the medicine it was 103.
I can't go to urgent care because I didn't schedule my urgency 2 weeks in advance, silly me. So if I want to see a doctor, it's $700+ at a "standing emergency room", because my workplace insurance has no copays, meaning it pays for none of my treatment until it hits deductible. The deductible is $3200. So I have insurance, it just doesn't do anything. And I really wish I could have a 1 on 1 in person meeting with the anthem CEO to talk about it.
I've lost 11 lbs since sunday and the back of my throat is so solidly red and white you would think I starred in a gangbang.
Meanwhile, the institutions that protect Americans are getting ripped apart by an unelected billionaire and his useful idiot.
At this point, I'm both literally and figuratively looking for a hill to die on.
