When I started teaching, educator insurance was pretty great. I remember feeling that I didn’t care how much I got paid as long as I had that insurance. Since that time, it has been changed and chopped into little bits so much that teachers get the short end of the stick for both pay and insurance. I would definitely support healthcare for all, no matter how rocky the road is to get there.

So, I'm going to figure out some insurance stuff this week. I'm still on my parents' insurance because it's really good, but their insurance plan is specific to VA and so it doesn't work the same way in Washington state. Apparently there's something called "guesting" where certain doctors are contractors who will take my insurance, and I've thankfully found one, but I'll also need to figure out getting a referral to an endocrinologist and a psychiatrist....it's probably going to be a bad time. I'm probably going to make a lot of phone calls, which I hate.
