!gaming is a community for gaming noobs through gaming aficionados. Unlike !games, we don’t take ourselves quite as serious. Shitposts and memes are welcome.

Our Rules:

1. Keep it civil.


Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only.


2. No sexism, racism, homophobia, transphobia or any other flavor of bigotry.


I should not need to explain this one.


3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.


Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.


4. Try not to repost anything posted within the past month.


Beyond that, go for it. Not everyone is on every site all the time.

In the US there exists a system where you have to pay for healthcare up to a certain value, beyond which insurance covers the costs. It's common to have this deductible reset every year.

$18,000 USD in the policies I was checking out yesterday.

Were you looking at Cobra? I've never seen one that high.

No the market place.

beyond which insurance covers

most of!

the costs

Like what the fuck is wrong with the US and why are we so certain that stuff that works in the rest of the world is a fantasy (guaranteed maternity leave; the metric system; debt-free medical care)?

Awful.
