you can absolutely ask the hospital for a good faith estimation.

well it depends.

for major surgeries, no. after you satisfy your deductible, you’re likely to pay a co-insurance on your procedure.

co-insurance is the percentage you’re personally responsible.

so lets say your procedure is billed by hospital for 50,000. and your co-insurance is 20%.

you would be paying 20% of the 48000, so 9600.

up to your “out of pocket maximum”, which can be like 15000 to 30000 or whatever.

if you’ve already paid like 10k already this year then you would just be paying up to 5k for ur cancer treatment.

confusing? yes. fuck health insurance so much.

just throw them away lol

nuh uh, he owes me 100 bucks

to be fair you’re a terrible programmer

nice try Scott Adams.

sir this is a joke post

for dai, I suggest using ad blocking DNS like adguard. not perfect but it’s easy and painless.

no, it works. so they’ll do it forever.

you don’t get it, this is Gabens quest to save all the whales. it’s like a reverse Moby dick.

a razor deathadder is 25 dollars, I honestly don’t think suffering through 4 onn mouse is worth it.

the prevalence of iPads with 20,22,25 percent tips for a coffee is having me question the entire practice for sure.

im also seeing reataurants operating server robots now. for those I only tip 10%.

correct on all parts, it pits dasher against customers. also these companies are still not profitable. that should tell you something.

the truth is that the business model just doesn’t work. if you want to pay drivers actual living wages, delivery fees would have to be more than 20 dollars for each order.

you don’t know what you’re talking about do you. why did you even bother typing all this up if you don’t know shit.

the drivers are paid more or less constant and they can see the total payout and mileage. an order that doesn’t have tip attached will slowly increase in payout until a driver takes it. so those orders tend to be slow.

orders do get ignored all the time and people complain about cold food all the time too.

no that is the truth, what it doesn’t tell you is that the drivers are paid like 2.50 to 3 bucks per delivery. so tips makes up the majority of their earnings at this point.

im sorry for your loss. I don’t miss 2020 specifically, I miss my new found freedom.

I miss 2020, aside from the dead people. I had free money, free time, and the world was on the verge of a new paradigm. I tasted retirement while I still have energy and health. and people had free time to protest for what they believed in.

and then we were back to rich asshole and celebrities running the world.

you don’t make your own fastfood, porn or trash tv. so it’s like, completely different. being able to mold your partner doesn’t assume a quick process and shallow results.

you don’t have to report anything, thats also why they do random audits.

I think cursive is a low priority on a list of increasingly important extracurricular topics.
