  • Prison healthcare in the US is super poor and often in violation of local or international laws. Basically most preventative care isn’t provided, testing for severe concerns is often put off for months or even years, and any kind of regular care required is frequently delayed.

    See John Oliver and Deviant Ollam’s Cara updates (I can’t find the exact one but they freaking made her even more disabled by failing to replace her catheter and if I remember correctly either using an incorrect catheter or incorrectly installing the catheter)


  • For those unaware of the difference, everyone in prison has been found guilty and sentenced for a crime, jail is typically where people are incarcerated before being tried and/or sentenced.

    An officer can literally arrest you on whatever charges they might make up on the spot and take you to jail, and depending on a number of specifics you may simply not have many options to leave jail before your trial which is often many months later. I think there’s some form of protection against this sometimes but I’m not well versed enough on the subject to know for sure and make a general statement






  • these plans were actually quite good though compared to regular plans people get from their employer, with 0 copay and 0 deductible

    I’m super skeptical of the 0 deductible plans. I’ve only ever seen them offered in situations where the plans can be expected to be not-great, both on the marketplace for both '25 and '26 (I’d never used the insurance marketplace before last year) and when working at a tiny company with less than 10 employees. I’m not sure how they work but given that I assume they end up costing more than plans with a deductible
