The DU Lounge

I was fine during the day, but I'm already beginning to feel the effects of both - achy arms and legs, that hint of a fever, definitely tired. I'm guessing tomorrow is going to be exciting.

These shots are not cheap - I have insurance, but my daughter, who started work as a temp manager for a store and doesn't have company health insurance, ended up having to pay almost $250 out of pocket for the two shots. The problem with the insurance system in this country is that it hides the charged costs of a great number of medications and procedures, which then gets paid for by increasingly high premiums. Since the typical officeworker who has company healthcare doesn't see this cost directly, they don't understand just how obscene the costs involved actually are, but if you're poor, you see every single dime of it.
