@MeSharona1 @MatrixMysteries That’s probably after taxes and I think they usually use gross income to evaluate that

@MatrixMysteries A family of five making that income would qualify for free insurance.

An American family has five kids and lives on $2,600 a month after taxes. They’re told Obamacare is their lifeline. The cheapest plan? $1,700 a MONTH with a $17,000 DEDUCTIBLE. This isn’t healthcare — it’s garbage disguised as reform by Barack Obama.

@cardamomkiss 🎉 hard work indeed

One year of breastfeeding this week please clap

@DrPlantel There is a way to eat clean on a budget. It’s the small steps that count. I think education on it is good- shaming not so much.

I’m so over the mom influencers walking through grocery stores acting like the food police. Pointing at products. Calling them “toxic.” Shaming moms who are just trying to feed their families. You don’t know their life. Their budget. Their time. Their mental load. Motherhood is already exhausting, why are you making it heavier? Also, your kids are watching. This obsession with “clean eating” doesn’t create healthy habits. It creates fear, guilt, and sometimes disordered eating. I see it in clinic all the time. And a lot of it starts in childhood. Yes, we want our kids to eat well. But if your version of “healthy” comes with shame and anxiety…that’s just plain sad.

@Tatiana1 @UziCryptoo Do you have kids? Family plans (even the cheapest premiums with the highest deductibles) are still thousands of dollars each year.

@UziCryptoo Get the cheapest insurance you can with the HSA add on - insurance to cover extreme cases (God forbid), and HSA which is pre-tax money will cover all your doctor visits throughout the year. HSA never expires and you can pay for sunscreen on Amazon with it too.

My daughter recently had an ear infection. Took her to the doctor, who prescribed an antibiotic. That doctor visit cost $244. My insurance covered $60, so we owe $184 out of pocket. I pay $556/month for family health insurance. Something seems broken.

@camiliosalomand @EA_Rice Ultra processed food (UPF) should be illegal but where is MAHA?

@EA_Rice 💯💯💯 Our food has been ruined for decades! MAHA was supposed to handle this and I have not seen the dye free foods or anything yet! Glad you got some quality grub and your summer bod! lol

I used to think the social media videos I saw about the food in other countries were BS, until I went to Italy for a week. One full week of eating pasta, pizza, steak and gelato…I came home down 7lbs. We are being poisoned. It really is that simple.

@LauraLoomer Control babies crying? That’s not how parenting works. Babies aren’t machines - you can’t just flip an on/off switch. Also, some babies do cry for hours.

Is there anything worse than a crying baby on a plane? I wish parents would control their children. It’s so disruptive. I refuse to believe a baby cries for 10 hours. At some point this is just bad parenting, right?

@LauraLoomer Comments like this are why people aren’t having kids. Babies need to be in public too. ✈️

@isaac_saas Get a realtor to interview your potential tenants and create the lease

We listed our old house for rent 3 days ago. This morning I got my first ever call from a potential tenant. My very first one. I wish I was joking. "Hi, I have a couple questions about your listing." "Ok, fire away..." "I have an ongoing medical malpractice case and was wondering if it was okay if I pay the whole year up front because I'm not working." "Umm.. yeah, I think that would be ok? I don't see why not... I'm guessing that's why you're not working? If it's confidential, that's fine, just curious..." "Yeah, that's why... it has to do with my foot and I can't work." "Ok, what other questions do you have?" "Do you have any dog restrictions? We have a 10 year old pitbull... she's my childhood dog... she's so sweet... never had any issues with her." "Ummm... I think the HOA has restrictions on that breed." (Idk if they do, I just made that up) "Ok, just let me know. Next question. I do have a felony on my record for vehicular manslaughter. The person survived and ended up with only a broken collarbone... and umm... my dad would be living with me, he's my caregiver, he also has a felony on his record but he already did his time. It was his first felony and will be his last felonly." "Umm..." "Yeah... I know it's a lot going on but I don't have any evictions or anything... but I did break a lease when I was 18 because I'm a single mom and well, um... some things we're going on and I was just in mommy mode... but I'm about to pay all that off once I get this medical malpractice money." "Umm... we have a few other applications we're going to review and I'll get back to you." I think I'm going to sell the house.

@BarackObama Universal Medicare For All (original Medicare, not Medicare Avdvantage) and get rid of Prior Authorization

The day the Affordable Care Act passed was one of my proudest moments as president, because it meant that millions of Americans would have access to health care, some for the first time. The ACA also prevented insurance companies from denying people with pre-existing conditions coverage, allowed young people under the age of 26 to remain on their parents’ plan, expanded Medicaid, and so much more. But the ACA was always meant to be a first step. We still have to do more to expand access and make health care more affordable for everyone.

@nosoup4knowles I like it on hot dogs with some hot sauce and that’s about it

Nobody actually likes sauerkraut. If you grew up eating it & developed some sort of Stockholm syndrome complex, you have my full sympathy & I withhold all judgment. But there is no way a grown adult tries sauerkraut for the first time & says "yum... more please"

@DrSuneelDhand Continuous glucose monitor?

Am I the only person in the wellness space who has absolutely ZERO interest in a wearable device?

@MelbaofNM I have a toaster oven air fryer. Does that count? I wouldn’t do a stand alone air fryer but a toaster oven combo is great!

Anyone else refuse to buy an air fryer or am I the last mom standing

@Gamegodtre76161 @TheNotARubicon @GrantSlatton Do you floss?

@TheNotARubicon @GrantSlatton My dentist said Im at risk for gingervitis cause I don't brush properly. I brush my teeth after I eat and my gums are pink and don't bleed. I think it's time to change dentists

insane that we tolerate living in a society where you can go see one dentist and he's like "ya u have 13 cavities, will be $4000 to fix them all" then see another and he's like "that guy was full of shit and trying to scam you, you're fine" ???

@talyaTheeEnby Except use it. So many resources available. You don’t have to go in.

please get a library card even if you won’t use it because cities will look at library statistics and use that to decide to keep libraries open and properly funded

@cassidoo Always size up on the backup outfit

Parents of babies and toddlers FYI: The backup outfit is too small

@alt_w_v_g This is why I cancelled my warranty. Better to just add to a savings accounts for situations like this.

The dishwasher broke My wife said "good thing we have the home warranty" I said nothing I've been paying $62 a month for three years for this moment $2,232 for the peace of mind that when something breaks someone will come to the house and tell me it's not covered I called 47 minutes on hold They sent a technician Arrival window: Tuesday through Thursday between 8am and 5pm My analyst delivers faster than that And he still hasn't fixed the gridlines He showed up Wednesday at 4:47pm Looked at the dishwasher Opened the door Closed the door Touched something underneath Said "not covered" 90 seconds That's faster than my bank lets me prove I'm human I said "what's covered" He said "the motor" I said "what's wrong with it" He said "not the motor" I said "convenient" He said the service fee is $75 I paid a man $75 to open my dishwasher, close my dishwasher, and say two words My analyst could do that And he's not even that good I called the warranty company back 38 minutes on hold Requested the policy 129 pages I read all 129 pages Because that's what I do The coverage section is 34 pages The exclusions section is 58 The business model is right there In the margins Where nobody reads Except me Page 91 says "all mechanical and electrical components essential to appliance function are covered under standard service" Page 104 excludes control panels A control panel is an electrical component essential to appliance function Their own document contradicts itself 13 pages apart I highlighted both Sent them an email Subject line: "Plz fix. Thx." Attached both pages No other context Took them three days to send a technician Took them 4 hours to call me back when I found the loophole Funny how that works They covered the repair Waived the $75 And I canceled the warranty anyway Because a contract that contradicts itself isn't a contract It's a suggestion My wife said "so we're canceling" I said "we're canceling" She said "and the dishwasher" I said "fixed. They're covering it." She said "how" I said "I read the policy" She said "all 129 pages" I said "the exclusions section starts on page 47. The coverage section ends on page 34. There are 13 pages between them where they hoped nobody would look." She looked at me Then she said "you're unbelievable" I said "I just saved us $744 a year and got a free dishwasher repair. I'm not unbelievable. I'm thorough." She looked at the ceiling The dishwasher works now The warranty is canceled And the policy has been read By at least one person Probably the first Make common sense common again Plz fix. Thx.

@BENBALLER Went to ihop for a family of 4 it was $100

Me and my 3 kids having lunch at Chick-fil-A. I swear 10 years ago this was the price of a sit down meal at a restaurant for us with 20% tip included.

@bethanyjbabcock I didn’t grow up with it and I’m not starting that tradition. We do egg hunts but the basket to me is an extra thing I’m okay going without.

I didn’t know Easter baskets filled with gifts and candy for kids were a thing until I got married. I don’t love the tradition and haven’t adopted it for my kids. But I am curious how common it is here in the States. Did you get a full basket on Easter as a kid?

@UziCryptoo Because most teachers earn nowhere near close to that

Spoke to a teacher from New York. Makes $140,000/yr with a 10 month schedule. Retires in 2026 with ~ $90,000/yr pension + full health benefits. Traditional careers like this can be game changers. Why aren’t more people doing this?!

@thecavemommy I did because pediatricians ask ALL of the questions like how often does baby do X,Y,Z

13 MONTHS?!?! Bro I barely even tracked my first baby for like a week & my second baby for 24 hours when I was in the hospital cuz they wanted me too 😭😭 You guys are not okay….. purposely doing things that are extremely stressful and contributing to high anxiety, and then y’all complain motherhood is hard.
