Whether or not I should trade in my drum kit into an E drum kit. Idk... Midi interfacing would be great. Plus the amount of different kits I could build or use just by downloading. Is it worth it?

When you think you're number one for not doing anything. You let off the gas. Maybe keep pushing, invest in education, fix societal problems.... You know... Effectively govern. But I know we won't. A third of the country will continue beating its chest and fucking everyone at the same time. USA USA USA

Oh totally agree with you. Our system is sooooo dumb. Plus, this is all just the payments for the actual healthcare and how it interacts with my insurance. This does not include the insurance premiums I pay every paycheck.

I spend all of this on top of my insurance premiums.

Typically you have a choice between public Medicare/Medicaid, high deductible health care plan through work. Or co pay plan through work. And as for per month. It really depends on the job. Everything depends on where you work. If you work at a company with good healthcare you will probably pay more. But have a lower max out of pocket.

If you want I could look up what I pay on a monthly basis for my healthcare and get back to you.

I have insurance. Just to give you perspective. I had a video call for some mental health diagnosis. I now have a bill of $568 dollars. Reminder, this is WITH insurance. I have to pay that out of pocket. And I even have to set up additional appointments. Which will be probably around the same price.

I also have an inhaler. I had a doctor's appointment to get a refill on my medication because I don't have to use the inhaler too much (meaning I don't have to refill often). I try to stay healthy and workout and only have to use it when working out/exercising. $300 dollars for the appointment. Another $212 for the actual medication that I picked up. In the last 30 days I have blown over a grand on medical. And I'm not even sick/unhealthy.

My wife on the other hand has very expensive monthly medication for a rare disease. She hits her max out of pocket every year which is 5k. Which we just have to pay forever. If I was on her healthcare plan, we would end up paying 10k every year just for healthcare.

I would say on a regular year. We pay around 7k in healthcare costs with our insurance (depending on how healthy I am throughout the year). On a light year 5.5k.

One time I had to cancel my gym membership because I was moving. I called and called. It took days for the gym to pick up. Literally could not get a hold of anyone. Until finally I got someone a week later on the phone which I was told I would have to come into the gym to cancel. So I show up at the gym at some later date. And wait..... And wait..... Like, it was a scheduled appointment. It wasn't a surprise. And I was on my lunch break from work so I'm rushing as well. Finally after waiting for my entire lunch break in front of the gym office. A guy comes in and is like "oh you hear to cancel?" No shit bro. I'm the guy who called you to talk to you about the cancellation. FINALLY I was able to cancel my membership. Turns out the person that managed the place died of COVID. So nobody was actually managing the gym.

Fuck gym memberships. I'm still a little mad about it. Why the hell do you have to jump through so many god damn hoops to cancel a service? It took me 3 weeks to cancel the service.
