[Question - Insurance] COVID Treatment - No Insurance? (NJ)
Hello everyone!
Long story short. I'm self-employed and can't afford healthcare, but not eligible for Medicaid or any state-wide support.
I'm curious if COVID treatment is covered federally? Or would I go into medical debt if I had to go to the hospital?
Also how much does a COVID test cost if I have no health insurance? And where would you advise me to get one?
Thanks so much - didn't know where else to ask!
Which healthcare reform advocacy organization should I contact? [Question - Other]
Hi! I'm an Economic Policy Fellow in the Greater Good Initiative, a youth-led think tank that promotes youth voices in the policymaking process, and creates effective, sustainable, and bipartisan policy proposals! Our newest policy focuses on healthcare in Virginia. As the next session of Virginia's General Assembly is coming up soon, we are looking for advocacy organizations to support legislation based on our proposal. Therefore, I am wondering, who should I contact to help us in this front, and why?
[Other] so an ambulance ride costed me $799. Like it literally just did the equivalent of an Uber ride since I was physically fine.
Like seriously the healthcare system is so flawed. I got sent to the hospital because of possible suicide attempt and now all those bills are over $4,000. Like it just makes me feel even worse. This is all 2 weeks before I got insurance as well 😭

Hyram Skincare videos (question)
So I know he blew up from TikTok however is he credited? (Has any certifications or anything) my family follows everything he says without second judgments. I guess he posted a video that DIY or natural masks are like worthless bec we don’t know how the aloe Vera was grown (water pH levels I guess or other chemicals?) I don’t know. I didn’t watch the video. It’s just that I’m Indian and natural masks is something I like to do 2x a year for 1 month or more often. When seasons change, my skin needs extra help or I get hormonal acne. My cousins always used to ask me for recipes and I found a new ingredient that also works wonders. I shared it with them and they said “Hyram said it’s not good or bad for you, (diy masks) it’s just a waste of money.” I’m not sure what this even means. My question is should I look at him like another person trying to do it for the fame/free goodies or someone who actually knows what he’s talking about. I saw a couple videos of his (it’s not like I avoid him or anything) but they were all sponsored and when he says “this is brought to you by...” it makes me wonder if whatever he said prior was true or half truths for endorsements?
It’s like a bandwagon movement going on right now so this isn’t hate or backlash or anything. I see lots of people recommending different skin care stuff like BHA’s or retinol or whatever lol
