A few weeks ago my little dev group had a meeting as groups do. We're scattered around the country, so it was a call-in meeting.

Group lead starts talking about how the medical insurer the company has will give you some cash back each year for doing certain things. I assume some of those are getting all the proscribed unknown injections because lead was saying they won't get the entire amount because they don't get flu shots (even though I'm pretty sure they're a jabbie.) They urged us to check our medical insurance accounts because having a few hundred dollars more during the Christmas season is always good.

I had to seriously bite my tongue and not say "So your insurer is raping so hard and so long that they can afford to give you a hush puppy and you can't focus on the fact that you're being raped - just that little bit of fat on the bone they already cleaned off and tossed in the dirt for you to gnaw on?"

But I didn't. I' m a nice person after all.

Its called a health screening and they charge you a 25% higher premium if you don't do it because they assume you use tobacco products. I'm willing to jump through a few easy hoops if it means I get raped 25% less than stupidbird. Its not a jab at least.

I'm not sure what you're on about, but this insurer doesn't offer any kind of premium discount for anything - I don't think they even pay for the "are you going to kill yourself, here take all these pills because pills" screening that most doctors do these days. It's $1900 a year premium, $5k deductible, and $1k coinsurance. Everyone pays the same. What I'm referring to is more of a credit card cash back program - the more you spend and the more shots you get, the more they "give you back" at the end of the year.

But you're getting raped ∞ more than I am because I don't have medical insurance. My outlay this year for medical was $50 when I had to use a tele-health service for a sinus infection - that's everything, visit, amox, and out the door. That would have been well over $150 with insurance because the company's plan doesn't discount anything.
