The founder and CEO of Zerodha, Nitin Kamath, recently discussed the significance of health insurance in one’s own financial path. He mentioned on Twitter that ‘“In 2014, the last year for which data is available, the Avg cost of inpatient care per hospitalization was Rs 26,475 in urban areas & Rs 16,676 in rural. Over 6.3 crore Indians are faced with poverty every year due to health costs alone; according to government estimates,”

I have GOT to get out of this country oh my GOD
#my after tax income per paycheck is 1025 every two weeks#after health insurance premiums that's 885#485 of that will go into my school/moving cost savings#leaving me $400 to spend every two weeks#until i hit my deductible I'll only get to keep 200 of that with the rest going to therapy if im lucky and therapy isn't over 200 a session#and then also every 23rd im gonna need to spend $300 on student loan payments#im gonna enroll in the ladder program at my job and do everything i can to increase my pay even if it means more responsibilities#but oh boysie yeah#i will almost certainly be dipping into my savings on the regular#anything more than $85/pay period and i risk pushing my enrollment back to 2027

it also doesn't help the general feeling of ennui that I'm reaching a state of complete disgust with this university system as an institution
#the blatant strike retaliation in the form of increasing rents at university housing/increasing health insurance premiums/etc#combined with the horrific and negligent response to recent on-campus events that managed to make all sides mad and satisfy nobody#and the constant union-busting doublespeak emails from admin#i've seen too much of the inner workings of the beast in the past five years and it is very very ugly

props to the dwarf fortress devs, it feels like the game’s launch really went as ideally as anyone could hope a free-to-premium(ish) launch could go
dude spent 20 years making one of the most intensive, detailed civ sims ever, for free, and then spent two years rebuilding the UI from the ground up for a premium version, incorporating a bunch of QOL mod ideas people loved over the years, and said “the game’s still going to be free, and the free version is still going to have all of the QOL changes in it” and even diehard fans still paid $30 (someone was kind enough to buy it for me) just because he also has amazing developer-community relations.

#dwarf fortress#i mean it helps he was transparent that he was making the game semi-premium so he could have health insurance money

continuing to deal with the horrors of signing up for health insurance
#there were like no plans listed that covered my therapist#but my therapist said she accepted every major insurance company#so i was like maybe it's inaccurate then and picked the most reasonable plan#but then i sent her the plan id number to be safe and it doesn't work!!#so now i went back and looked at the 1 company listed that covered her#it's premium is 12× as expensive with a higher deductible etc#i googled the company and it has God awful reviews#so i panicked for a bit#came to accept that any health insurance i look up is going to have god awful reviews bc they're all evil#so as long as they cover my therapist and i have some kind of coverage#i'm just doing it#please excuse my typos i dont wanna retype anything#text

hey y'all weird question time again In the US, with insurance, what's a ballpark range for how much you'd expect to pay out of pocket for an MRI?
also hi crafting updates should resume in the next few days I was panicking a little about getting an MRI and that prevented crafting, and then I ended up not even getting it so all the panic was for nothing
#the person behind the yarn#I just went to get one (did not end up getting one)#and after fretting about it so much over the course of the day it caused a health flare up of like all of my other issues#I got there and they were like okay! pay us 800 dollars#I pay a uh. pretty significant percentage of my monthly income to my insurance premiums#specifically so I could get the best possible insurance available in my area#so that it will cover my prescriptions and medical procedures and not fight me about covering them#and what's the damn point if they won't cover this#but also if I am going to end up paying 800 dollars for a dang MRI#I'm going to find a local place with an open MRI instead of the full tube#if I am going to pay that much damn money I am going to make sure it's as least worst as possible

Am mostly on board with this post but I have a bone to pick with the BMI section. The cited BMI article is not a reputable source; it is an opinion piece that does not cite any sources, is titled "Top 10 Reasons Why The BMI Is Bogus" (and includes "it embarrasses the US" as a reason), is from 2009, and was written by a mathematician and not a doctor. Being from NPR doesn't automatically make it correct or reputable. Misinformation and inflammatory comments like "it hangs around because of fatphobia and insurance companies" just enable people to ignore their weight as an important indicator of health. (Note that I said important; not sole. Any medical professional worth their salt knows better than to take weight in a vacuum. However this does not mean that it should be ignored entirely either).
I will start by saying both being too fat and too skinny are bad for you. However since the post specifically pins the longevity of the BMI on fatphobia, I will address that more.
Nobody wants to hear this but being obese is in fact bad for you. Not just in terms of added risk of acquiring other diseases (though you definitely ARE at increased risk for cancers, diabetes, cardiovascular disease, arthritis, and more-- it is even a well known cause of infertility and other reproductive disorders), but obesity itself is a state of chronic inflammation and a disease process in its own right.
Of course, there are still issues with the BMI; as the above poster said, it was not originally intended to be used as a measure of health, and the original study overwhelming featured Caucasian men and no women. Different races have different levels of body fat at the same BMI-- and it's more widely agreed that percent body fat is the important indicator of the diseases listed above, not necessarily your exact weight or BMI. Additionally, it's widely known that women need a higher body fat percentage than men, and that BMI misclassifies people who are pregnant, very athletic, etc because, as we know, BMI measures weight, not fat.
(As an aside, it's commonly cited that a mortality is lowest at an borderline overweight BMI of 25, but the study reporting this notes that smoking and diseases that cause severe weight loss such as cancers had a large effect mortality in lower weight ranges).
So why still use BMI? In short: it's a good starting point.
Height and weight of an individual are exceedingly easy to attain in any doctor's visit. The formula is simple and calculators are easily available, and it is easy to plot changes over time. At the population level, BMI correlates with levels of body fat and obesity related diseases; combined with the simplicity and cost-effectiveness of attaining it, that makes it a good initial screening for obesity. Furthermore, there have been race-adjusted BMI cutoffs created to help make screenings for said diseases more accurate. It's also very useful in a research setting, again because of its easy attainability, but do note that research done on a population does not apply to every single individual and therefore it's important for doctors to be educated about such limitations and use their clinical judgement. Treat the patient, not the disease, if you will.
Some articles (including ones I have cited above) do say that because of its limitations it might be better to forgo BMI altogether in favor of more accurate assessments, like waist circumference or body composition measures. These measures have their own respective pros and cons that you can read about here and therefore also require clinical judgement and patient and physician education on how to implement them appropriately.
My personal opinion remains that these should be used alongside BMI, especially the simple ones such as waist to height ratio, and use all as needed to make a complete clinical picture. Both patient and physician education is important when doing any medical testing or screening-- I'd advocate for doctors to be better educated on the strengths and limits of the BMI so they can inform their patients as to why it is being used at all, and to better use it critically when providing care. But I don't believe that it should be discounted entirely.
I can't keep having the same conversations about love languages, mbti, iq, bmi, "brain fully formed at 25" and shit over and over again...
#i didnt address this in the main body of text but#the insurance thing is also...#where do i even start#insurance prices are based off of your perceived health risks#someone who is more likely to use insurance for whatever reason has higher premiums#that is how all insurance works#car insurance looks at your past driving history and legal records to determine your price#life insurance looks at your current state of health#statistics are used then to determine if your health profile makes you more likely to use health insurance#actually this is the place where using population measures of health makes the MOST sense#is it right? no. i have many issues with the insurance model of healthcare#but it's not an “excuse” to charge fat people more#the goal of insurance companies is to make money and if you are likely to use your insurance more they are going to charge you more#lord sorry for the essay#but this really grinds my gears#doctors are not evil or out to get you and there is a reason why they do the things they do jesus fucking christ#pseudoscience#bmi#if you argue with me and its clear you didn't read my whole post im gonna block you by the way#i dont argue with people allergic to nuance
