I remember my parents having to pay $500 the one time I needed an ambulance (I was hit by a car as a pedestrian). My mother had USAA (military) insurance though and it paid back accident costs

I’m American (but have lived abroad for 14 out of 25 of my adult years) and I don’t get it either. The key seems to be employed with good insurance

Politicizing Transgender Athletes Is Dangerous. Lia Smith Deserved Better. "Let her passing be an inflection point for how you think about trans rights and trans people more generally."

For @teenvogue.com I wrote about the death of trans athlete Lia Smith and how trans youth kind themselves with central pillars of their lives being constantly ripped away from them because of politics. www.teenvogue.com/story/politi...
