You're taking the ReliOn insulins which aren't as effective as the newer generations like Humalog/Novolog (short) and Lantus/Basaglar (long). Search for 'Lilly Cares Foundation' and 'Sanofi Patient Connection' on google. I think Novo Nordisk has ways of helping you as well. Search and find out.

When it's privatized, it's a business with bottom lines and sometimes a person can't afford to be healthy. This is fair.
When healthcare becomes socalized, it just turns into another "convince everyone to keep doing this through social pressures so it doesn't crash and burn". Fuck the idea that everyone deserves to be healthy and society should support that. The biggest deciding factor of your health revolves around not being stupid about what you do with your body and whay you put into it.

Get trauma cover (it includes life insurance)
If you get diagnosed with any major illnesses, including cancer, you get an instant $100k (or whatever amount you choose) - no questions asked, no need to go through private system. If you're in australia, use oaktree.com (arbitrarily, objectively awarded best insurance products for customers, multiple years in a row).

Private health cover in my country costs around $105 a month for a healthy 22 year old, and around $250 for a 40 year old, and if you get private, it'll leave you outta pocket. I'm 22 and pay $23 a month to know that if I get cancer / a serious illness, a terminal disability / illness or die, I'll get $100,000 into my account. I also pay $15 a month for an extra $50,000 cover for the same things from another insurer, which also covers my homeloan if I get injured and can't work. Finally, I have life and permanent disability insurance from my superannuation provider (our equivalent of a 401K) for $350,000 if I get very sick or die.

I've had a ruger .243 blow up in my face, requiring surgery, was walked straight into emergency, got surgery, and never payed a cent. Later, I had to be hospitalised overnight with x-rays, blood tests and scans; never payed a cent. To0 care, and all through our public system - if I had private cover, I would have been thousands out of pocket to cover gap payments.

>> No.10026376

*top care.

Feels good to know that if I die, my partner won't have to worry about a mortgage and won't have to work for a year or so. Additionally, my mother, father and sister will have something from it.

It's relaxing to know that if I get cancer, I can quit my job and pay for private treatment if I need it, and not worry about my mortgage or stress about anything - just focus on getting better. Definitely worth the peace of mind.

But then again, I'm a risk consultant and as such, am probably predisposed to think this way.

it works that people who actively live a healthy life pay equal sum of money as people that actively live an unhealthy life, so that unhealthy people can be treated and cured because of their unhealthy lifestyle

if I could design healthcare system, I would incentivise people leading a healthy life so they have to spend less, while people who are actively ruining their body with cigarettes, alcohol drugs just because "its my fucking body" should pay a hefty premium to discourage such behaviour
