American is a healthy 28 year old, he decided to skip paying for health insurance this year because the cheapest plan was $900 per month with a high deductible He had to spend 2 nights in the ER without insurance, he breaks down the bill “This is my receipt from spending 2 days in the hospital: - It totaled about $24,000 - My CT scan alone was $8,300 - Laboratory, 6,000 - IV therapy, $1,020, $4,000 in total And while $24,000 seems like a lot of money, let me show you something. This is what I'm actually paying, $2,478 because when you don't have insurance, these hospitals give you a discount. They discounted $22,000 off of this bill” “But if I had insurance, I wouldn't have gotten that discount. So it would've been a $24,000 bill billed to my insurance, and then my insurance would've said, ‘Hey, you have a $5,000 deductible. You need to pay $5,000 for this last emergency room visit.’ Then you tack on the $900 a month that I'd be paying for that insurance. I'd be paying $20K this year for healthcare. So the craziest part about this is even if I have another hospital visit, by the end of this year, I'm still gonna be paying less than I would if I had insurance. At minimum, my cost for healthcare this year would've been $20,000 with insurance. Right now I'm at $2,400.” US Health Insurance is a scam

I'm grateful for all of it & all of you. Love you all! ❤️ PS: Now, I'm off to partake in the great American Thanksgiving tradition of over-eating while getting into a heated philosophical argument with family 🤣

A nuance here - I actually don’t really believe in “work/life balance” vs aiming for “work/life integration,” but I believe there are a few things we need to adjust for the modern era of work. Men and women used to mostly work alongside their children or extremely close to them. It was easy for the child to participate in the work at a young age and understand it from an even younger age. This creates a reality to the work, and the fruits of hard work are more clearly felt and earned. Now we work in offices usually 30-40 miles away from our children, doing work that’s nearly impossible to explain what we’re actually doing. It’s hard for a child to participate in it. The absence becomes more unexplainable, more unreal. Some solutions imo: 1. Be extremely present when at home and the children are awake. 2. Work extra after they sleep or before they wake up - the sleep sacrifice is worth it. 3. Once they’re old enough, try to truly integrate them into your work. Help them understand it and ideally even participate in it if they can. Like for me, they won’t be able to join a pitch meeting but maybe they can watch a recording after if okay with the founders. Or play with the app I’m evaluating. Or using the tools we’ve invested in, etc. My children are too young for that right now, but I am planning on this being a significant part of their childhood.
