tbh, healthcare stuff all goes over my head. I am 34 and never had health insurance in my life (I just paid the fine when Obama/Biden were in office). I am lower middle class, so I have nowhere near enough money to actually see a doctor or buy insurance, but too much to qualify for any help. I honestly just pretend hospitals don't exist and if I get sick just drink water until I feel better lol. If I die, I die, but fuck paying $50k for a runny nose lol.
I was in that same boat for a long time, and even now with a high deductible insurance plan I still am a bit, but right now seeing a doc is cheaper than it ever has been. Several local clinics and pharmacies will do tele-health appointments for $50-$60. Most of the time you can get a generic for the medication from Walmart for $5. Just thought I'd mention it because it was a revelation to me when I figured it out when I had an ear ache.
