Linux Is Best

@e_wann_a@mathstodon.xyz Healthcare for your pet is just as bad as healthcare for yourself, in America, if not worse.

Healthcare for a person, your health insurance usually pays their part with you paying a copay. However, healthcare for a pet, expects you to pay the full price up front, and then manually submit a claim to be reimbursed, at which time you learn if they will approve your claim, and how much money you may (or may not) get back. To make matters worse, some places will charge you more if they know you have insurance.

Insurance in the United States really does appear to be a scam.

Our veterinary practice has been sold to the corporation. They are nice people there, I've used them for over 25 years

Three years ago Badger had to have dentistry including an extraction. The cost including tax came to just over $650.

When we took her in for her anal gland issue this week the really nice vet who examined her said she was in need of some dentistry again. So I asked for a quote which you see here. I called them, to be sure that I had read this correctly. It is a general quote, but it could be roughly $2000 plus tax. Will not be less than $1500, I'd guess. That's plus tax and roughly 3 times the bill last time.

Quite a difference from 3 years ago. And not doable, if you factor in say 3 years between these bills and 3 cats. You'd have to be budgeting $2000 a year for dental work for 3 cats.

How do people manage? 😳

It was hot today—almost 37 degrees! Definitely felt it while out and about. Had lunch at one of my favorite spots, then checked out some op shops for a handbag, but they were all too small.

Had to make a vet appointment for Meesa’s vaccinations next week and double-check her microchip since one of the companies storing that data shut down. Thankfully, we’re not affected.

Also looked over some of my uni course material in preparation for next week when it officially starts. Picked up lamb, chicken, potato salad, and Greek salad for dinner for the next two nights. Now I’m exhausted and ready to relax.

Mammals With the Munchies: Curing Animals With Cannabis

When RiffRaff sees the plastic syringe coming, “she chirps and taps her foot, which is her happy dance,” Ms. Jigalin said. “One hundred percent, she knows that the medicine makes her feel better.”
