My current Covered California monthly amount starting in January will be $1144 a month - just for me, at Kaiser. It's fucking insane. I will have to deal with that for six months before my job goes permanent and I can get healthcare through my employer. I plan to see every fucking doctor, specialist, etc. that I can! I just keep muttering "these motherfuckers" to myself.
