I just wanted to take a minute to say "hi" to anyone that might remember me. I joined here this past October just to view and speak with some old friends. As of about 2 weeks ago my insurance decided they didn't like me anymore! So, even though I am "new" here I am everything but! I posted under the same UN at DB with a pinky and the brain avatar. So, I just wanted to say "hi" to everyone and wish everyone nothing but the best!

Well, that makes 2 of us! The thing that gets me is 1)I received no kind of notification until the pharmacist told me. 2)my insurance premium went up $17/month this month???

That really sucks /default_sad.png  I am sorry to say but I think that is going to be the trend from now on unfortunately...

 
Well hello to you. Welcome back. New here myself, but learning the ropes mighty fast. Gotta be quick in today's fast paced IT world.

I'd say "take a seat" but by doing so you might fall behind.

Just post away. Try to hit 50 in one night. Those are the kinda posters I like the best.

In any event, cheers my friend.

 
@Puzzler. Lol. I think 100 I'm one night is much better. Maybe there should be a thread in the introduction section called "I don't care about DBG. I just want some drugs. Here are my 30 posts "

I agree that it is definitely becoming a trend. I wouldn't have such a issue with it had I been notified in some manner. How hard is it to send out a letter so someone has time to prepare. They could have used some of that monthly increase to send a form letter saying "you've got to such and such date, then nada" but I guess that would be expecting to much!

Try going from a typical HMO with $50 copay doc visit to $2500 deductible and no doctor copay of any kind and no free physical/ well-woman checkup - nuthin. It's BS. My cost used to be about $200/month pre tax and then $10-$20 prescription co-pay and $50 doc co-pay and free physical and well-woman check up each year to basically nothing AND a premium increase because I'm now over 40. 20% increase. I work for a small company and I guess I should be happy to have anything but Jesus Christ I need something catastrophic (hope not) before I get any benefit. I have to see my orthopedist 4x yearly for script and cortisone shot. Then 2x year to ob/gyn because we have cervical cancer in my family.

I'm very healthy minus the degenerative bone disease that requires the ortho. I'm not remotely overweight and am in really good shape and a non-smoker and non longer considered child bearing age. So now I pay $5500/ year before I get one dollar of medical benefit. I wouldn't mind the high deductible so much if my rates had gone down you know? At least I have an hsa though that is deducted pretax.

I think in the long run we have two options in this country and they are both extremes. From what I understand healthcare premiums would actually go down if everyone paid individually - no business could provide the benefit. It's the buying power of business that allows cheaper premiums for their employees. Small business and self employed are screwed. So that's one option. Fend for your self. The other is more or less Medicare for everyone but then obviously our taxes go up. Seems to me either way sucks for some and is good for others.

The big problem in my opinion is that Americans want services but don't want to pay for them. Everyone says they don't want the poor lady with cancer to die BUT they don't want to pay more to help her. We want the money to magically appear. I think the more honest conversation (which will never happen btw) is really "this is how much money we have $100 - this is what we want $1000. Do we really care if the woman with cancer dies? If yes pay more if no pay less." Problem is everyone including myself feels a moral obligation to say yes we care. I'm willing to pay more so this theoretical woman gets chemo. I don't think everyone else is willing and they should say so. In those folks defense ( my hubby is very Ron Paul supporting libertarian) at what time is enough enough and you worry about yourself. Idk the answer. I just know it sucks to pay a lot of money and only get 4 shots and a papsmear

  2. AlHoffman69 @ AlHoffman69: TADYA IS THE AYH STAHY THHD
  3. nameofuser11 @ nameofuser11: Set a reasonable limit. Hell fucking make it like buying cold medicine where they swipe your id and you can't get a bunch. But we know this isn't about logic or public safety. It's about money and control.
  4. nameofuser11 @ nameofuser11: AKA are such a bunch of fucking capitalist traitors. The liquor lobby has a lot of money in this as well.
  5. MorfineOrfan @ MorfineOrfan: The major plain leaf companies and the AKA are the ones lobbying against 7 and the other semi-sythetic derivatives, mgm this that and the other. We all know the chemist are just gonna mess with the scaffolding of the compounds and come out with new and even better semi-sythetic alkoloids of kratom. They are already playing with cats-claw
  6. MorfineOrfan @ MorfineOrfan: @moai just asked chatgpeetea and it looks like plain leaf kratom is safe, they arent banning it. Just 7-Hydroxymitragynine, MGM15 ,16 , and pseudoindoxyl
  7. MorfineOrfan @ MorfineOrfan: Wait... @moai they are federally banning plain leaf kratom too???
  8. moai @ moai: @MorphineOrfan how fucking stupid is this shit. We better see some new shit come out, I’m most upset about banning regular kratom because really? Millions of people have got off hard opioids with it. They must want everyone on methadone instead.

  11. Gulp2788 @ Gulp2788: If bans were done to logic so much of what is illegal now would end up prescription only and I think the powers that be react faster than they think... if they think at all
  12. MorfineOrfan @ MorfineOrfan: They aren't specifically targeting SR and 7oh
  13. MorfineOrfan @ MorfineOrfan: @RiftChems well sr-17018 is an orphine analogue after all, and they are banning all orphines so that makes sense. Orphines are spiking the OD death rates majorly these past few months.
  14. AlHoffman69 @ AlHoffman69: CANDYMAN ramnemnber thta is will be conme relevenaent soon :alien: :cool: :cool: :cool: 🤑
  15. RiftChems @ RiftChems: crazy they are banning SR17018 at the same time. they know what theyre doing.
  16. nameofuser11 @ nameofuser11: The ban of 7oh is gonna have a lot of people needing help soon. Assuming they do ban instead of regulate like they should
  17. AlHoffman69 @ AlHoffman69: shout out to all our vets and citizens this is our day of pride love all of ya 🌭
  18. st1ckyf1ng4z @ st1ckyf1ng4z: Happy Independence Day my fellow DBG Americans!
  19. novedexrex @ novedexrex: Somebody has a potential gold mine there.
