I don’t know if I’d describe hitting a guy in the nuts with a baseball bat “playing with genitals”

I told my son “gesundheit,” and now he only eats sauerkraut and goose steps everywhere

When I was in college, this girl who was whip smart in one of my bio classes invited me over, and I quickly discovered she was a prolific weed dealer. Never in a million years would I have guessed

A copay is what you pay up front at the doctor’s office. Depending on the services provided, you may receive a bill after the fact that will be either the percentage you’re obligated to pay by your insurance company (coinsurance) or the balance your insurance didn’t cover, for example if you haven’t met your deductible. You’ll definitely sometimes get separate bills from a provider and a facility, but usually at hospitals moreso than outpatient clinics

I live in Texas and the State Dept of Agriculture takes this kind of stuff very seriously. You have to report it though, which might be the other commenter’s issue

I know it’s a funny joke, but we actually use metric quite a bit, especially for volume

I’ve worked in healthcare for decades and have literally never seen this. Are you sure you’re not thinking of coinsurance? Coinsurance and copays are two different things, a copay is a set fee dictated by your insurance that you pay up front, whereas coinsurance is usually the percentage you owe of anything billed to your insurance, which includes both facility and provider fees

Tbf, there is no “doctor copay.” The copay is a visit fee imposed by your insurance company that disincentivizes people from visiting the doctor. It’s also usually a paltry amount compared to the actual amount your insurance will pay the practice, and reimbursement fees for NPs and PAs are absolutely lower than for MDs

Same here. I’ve never had a card declined on a website. I’m decidedly anti-app and haven’t ever had a problem

Totally got me. Almost sent this to all my friends

As an elder millennial, I’ve neither witnessed nor even heard of this “phenomenon.”

Totally underrated topic is how many Boomers were raised by WWII veterans with severe, untreated PTSD

True, but that does surprisingly little to prevent homelessness.

Yes, but it does a LOT to keep people experiencing homelessness off the streets and in shelter. In US cities that have harsh winters, they also have many fewer homeless folks visible on the streets than you’d find in California or Texas, where people can pretty much live outside in perpetuity

Quick question for you…what is it you need to “figure out?”

Unfortunately, it would still be in close proximity to Iran and well within attack distance, so it would be completely pointless.
