Anyone here use zero products whatsoever?

By    07:14 // No comments

Curious if anyone has completely abstained from all forms of shampoo, deodorant, creams, lotions, etc?

I'm a guy and haven't used shampoo or conditioner for a few years now and its been great for my hair and skin. I don't even use soap except for my hands when doing things like preparing food, after the toilet, etc. Basically I only use hot water for cleansing.

I'd tried giving up deodorant in the past but would always smell almost immediately after not using it so I was resigned to always needing it. Then I read some accounts of people who said the smell eventually goes away if you give it long enough, ie few weeks or a month. So I tried that approach and sure enough, by the second week there was barely a smell at all. So I've recently become deodorant free too.

My grooming kit is now down to:

*Comb for long hair and long beard.

*Small hair scissors for occasional trimming various regions.

*Nail clippers.

That's it. Now I know this may seem too extreme for most people but no one ever guesses and people are surprised when I tell them I don't use any products. My skin, hair, etc all look normal.

Wondering if anyone else out there has success with water only for basically everything?

How am I supposed to afford health care? What other options do I have?

By    04:33 // No comments

Hi. I’ve just recently finished my marketplace application for HealthCare.gov.

I make less than $700 a month, and the cheapest monthly premium I was given was $215. A $65 jump from the original $150 I was quoted because I forgot to note that I have a regular prescription for anxiety and depression.

I don’t even qualify for Medicaid.

My rent and utilities alone will be $600 a month... kind of at a loss as for what to do?

I’m a part time community college student and filled out a application with CCSI (Community College Student Insurance) with is through United Healthcare, but I doubt they quote will be what I can comfortably afford (which is less than $50 a month).

What are my other options?

A very small brain aneurysm was discovered by accident 2 years ago, my Molina plan kept denied my neuro's request for a follow up scan. Need advice for next plan to chose before the 15th.

By    02:53 // No comments

Is there any way I can know for sure that my next health plan will approve another brain scan to make sure my aneurysm hasn't grown? I am a 36 year old mother. I don't understand why something like that was not approved and their reason was that it "wasn't medically necessary". I really need to have a follow up scan and it's worrying me. I'm not going to pay hundreds of dollars a month next year if I can't get what I need.

To take the tax premium or to not take the tax premium?

By    01:23 // No comments

Hello, everyone! I'm applying for insurance and I'm wondering if going with catastrophic is good for me. Most likely isn't, but the tax premium is very tempting. It's $375/mo.

With my current plan, copay is $5, meds are $4, and specialist doctors are $20. Can't really beat it. If I went with cat, copay would be $35, meds between $11-$16/mo, and a specialist would be full price until after my deductible. In the past year, I've been to the doctor 5 times, two specialist visits, and an emergency. Not a typical year for me, but life isn't typical. I'd love to think 2018 will be good to me health-wise, but who knows?

I would really like to get a nice return come 2019, but I can't complain and say that my insurance this year didn't pull me through. I want to put my health first, but it'd be nice to do that without digging into my pocket.

Thanks~

help a male with his routine

By    06:14 // No comments

Hi, i would like to look better. in the winter my skin gets a bit dry. Nothing terrible, but after showers it becomes slightly and visibly dry for a bit. My hair used to have dry flakes (not dandruff) but that went away once i started washing with just a neem conditioner.

I have acne on my neck and shoulders/upper back. I also have a bit on my face around my lips.

Suggestions? I currently wash my face and shoulders everyday in the shower with african black soap.

I am looking for a moisturizer and anything else that might come in handy :)

Question on 80/20 rule

By    03:23 // No comments

I got a note from gov mentioning that due to the 80/20 rule I was

1) due a reduction in my premium

2) due a rebate check from my employer.

However, since i have moved on from that company (left in 2017 but the notice was for the 2016 calendar year), I would be due to check obviously. When i reached out to my previous companies HR, they said the company had gotten a rebate check of $1500 and they are putting it to 2017 premiums for the company. When i mentioned that this doesn't work since I'm no longer employed there, the CFO sent me a note saying that my understanding was wrong and with a "service fee" they would charge me to cover the processing of a manual check and I would owe them money.

Am i correct in thinking they just don't want to deal with it and are trying to make me go away? Unfortunately, I don't know what my portion of the $1500 rebate is (can't imagine it's more that $50 but still.....) since the notice from the government doesn't state the amount.

Thanks in advance

Quick question - signing up for ACA - plans don't pay out anything until you've met the deductible, right?

By    03:23 // No comments

I'm making 100% sure I understand what's going on here, basically.

So a plan that has a $7500 deductible and then says "after deductible, $35 copay for doctor visits" or another one that says "after deductible, no copay for doctor visits": That means I have to rack up $7500 in costs before my copay is $35 (or nothing), and until then, I pay the full doctor visit cost, right?

I ask primarily because I currently require visits every three months - about $150 each - so I can get refills on my meds - about $100 monthly. Which means I'm spending $600/yr on visits + $1200/yr on meds or $1800 in total.

Which, if I'm understanding correctly, means I will never ever ever reach my deductible, meaning insurance is useless for me - unless I have to go into the hospital or something like that. (As someone currently uninsured, I have about $175k between two visits this year, huzzah).

(So since I qualify for assistance, my best option is to pick a plan that's free for me and immediately pretty much forget it exists, except that if I do go back into the hospital, I'll be a few hundred dollars closer to the deductible AND instead of another $50k or so added to my debt, only ~$7000 plus copay whatever added to my debt).......

Do I have this correctly?

Taxes necessary for Single payer and combination systems.

By    06:13 // No comments

I have seen a lot of support of 'Universal Healthcare'. However I have also seen estimates that the tax increases that are necessary to pay for these systems are up to 20% increases. What do supporters of Universal Care think the impact of this will be? I am a conservative, but, open to any and all facts. Also, any opinions on 'Concierge Care' where insurance is not accepted but you pay so much a month directly to you health care provider?

I personally think we will end up with some kind of combination gov't-private system.
