I felt that
Hey this is me working at Unity! The never ending churn building a thing that I tell people to not use is terrible. In a few months though I can handle a change or gap in insurance though so I've got a light at the end of the tunnel at least
This is just so fucked. In no way do I mean on your end, but just that the system begets inhumane situations like this.
The US is a third world country when it comes to healthcare
And education, and social services, and basically everything.
Well it's both. Space age treatments... If you can afford it.

I had to save a down payment on a house amount of money for something that insurance is supposed to cover, and if I have any kind of insurance changes along the way I risk being out the entire amount
