It isn’t a single site or host, and there is no owner. Wouldn’t that be like saying “e-mail must be GDPR compliant”?

I am on a relatively small instance and have had zero sluggishness or delays. Don’t jump on someone’s decade old laptop with a thousand other users.

Non-ACA compliant plans are the norm now that the individual mandate is dead. I have one and it is definitely not for catastrophic only coverage. It is just mediocre compared to a major group plan. I deal with health insurance through work, and ACA compliant plans have become the rare exception rather than the rule.

You are right about the rates. $400 is a ballpark because it is what my office uses to determine monthly reimbursement for coverage purchased by individuals, since we are too small to bargain for a decent group plan. But we have no cancer survivors or other extreme high risk individuals.

Actually this does not work for blocking communities, unfortunately. The link goes to the server hosting the community, not the user’s instance.

I did not realize that, and that helps. But mainly I’m wanting to block communities as quickly as possible. I got a LOT of furry porn popping up on all.

If this website accomplices nothing more than educating people about Motörhead, worth it.

The ACA does not require all private plans to cover preexisting conditions. It requires all marketplace exchange and ACA compliant plans to do so. But many insurers - including Blue Cross Blue Shied and UHC - withdrew from the healthcare.gov exchange years ago to sell non-ACA compliant plans instead. With the death of the individual mandate, they lost the insured numbers to make it work. The remaining plans there are from companies like Oscar and are frankly not competitive with what you can get separately - other than preexisting coverage.

Yes you can buy family plans, and of course it scales in price. Averages out to about $400 per person, but of course that also depends on the PPO list, copay v coinsurance, coverage for ancillary services like mental health and prescription medication, and etc.

Not all private health plans cover routine preventive care at a reduced rate. I was on a UHC plan where my annual checkup cost me several hundred dollars.

The ACA was awesome at first. It dramatically improved my personal health insurance. But within a couple of years, the exchange in my area was a ghost town. It is a shell now.

Man, for a second, I thought you said “lost an uncountable number of good penis.”

When life gives you lemons, just say “fuck the lemons” and bail.

By far, especially when you consider that a user can only commit one suicide but multiple homicides. Also, suicide is often a tragedy of convenience. The easier it is to accomplish, the more likely a person in a bad place mentally will try. Firearm accessibility eliminates any logistical barriers that might slow a person long enough for them to reconsider.
