Most private insurances are starting to very aggressively and completely cover "preventive" care, but that's only because it's cheap. Preventive is stuff like checkups. So if they check you up, and find something, and you need treatment, you're hosed. You're in the "donut hole" between the solidly-covered preventive, and the solidly-covered "you're dying, let's save your life" emergency services.

@allquixotic Here's where you're wrong: you're thinking like a human being with concern for the population's interest. Not as a politician receiving bribes, blackmail, and with strong ties to mega churches, latifundia, militia, mega corporations and organized crime.

It's that "this will continue to get worse and be painful / slowly kill you, but you're not actively expiring" middle ground that has the worst coverage

Well, it's been nice talking to you people and all, but I need to finish some stuff before my vacations end.

Which includes building my wife's website

good luck! and have fun with that :)

Is there any saying in English for how people who work with something don't have / do that thing at home?

We have one here that roughly translates to "In a blacksmith's home, the BBQ sticks are made of wood".

hmm.....

I'm gonna go with no... I've honestly never heard anything like that before, except in similar terms as you explained it (not as an idiom)

I've always interpreted it not as a lack of interest but rather of time, money, proper organization, clumsiness...

Anyway I finally have this server set up on DO running WP on a nice Docker container.

I "just" need the web frontend (might use a WP theme) and the proper content.

Much like a lot of tech oriented people would behave, I excitedly had the technical part ready quickly and easily before all the stuff that's supposed to be supported by the technology :P

Anyway, bye!

@allquixotic Here in NY, we have urgent care centers available around town and most take insurance.

@ThatBrazilianGuy "You can always tell a cobbler by his shoes" -- cobblers spend so much time repairing other people's shoes and have no time, or can't afford the time, to repair their own. So years ago, a typical cobbler would have holes in his shoes and look to be "down at heels", that is, his shoes would be badly in need of having the soles and heels renewed.

I still can't imagine not being able to have my body fixed, because I 'can't afford it'

Agreed! The government here wants us alive so we can keep paying taxes, so they'll keep us live
