dolariSo. Something I've needed to get off my chest without panicking anyone.
Before this last week, the last time I needed an insulin shot was January 2015 My blood sugar has inexplicably gone way way way up the last few weeks, possibly as far back as the trip to Texas.
I managed to sign up for insurance last week, and see a doctor about today. I have fresh insulin pens now, and am using my old scale to get my blood sugar under control again, which I'm hoping still work. Eitherway, I should be able to get into more acceptable ranges.
The downside, and the reason for the "Second Job?" I can't afford my insurance. I barely cover necessities right now, and signing up for insurance has put me deep into the red. I've tried to monetize the comics before and failed. Patreon so far has been my best bet at monetizing the comics.
I'm hoping it all works out. While I have someone who is essentially bankrolling my insurance costs, and any out-of-pocket medical costs (WHICH SHE SHOULDN'T NEED TO DO UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES), The American Healthcare System NEEDS TO BE COMPLETELY OVERHAULED. Obamacare is not enough. I don't need a medical "patron." I need single payer healthcare.
