When do I need health insurance? How do I get it?

Someone asked us:

hI! im 21 and i still feel like a 15 year old. i have no idea about health insurance and i think this tuesday is the due date to have one. im so confused about so many things. i need to see therapists and gynecologists and i also have anemia. idk why im even writing this. i feel like a lost soul.

Take a deep breath. You’re not alone, and we’re here to help you figure all of this crazy health insurance stuff out.

If you want to have health insurance that kicks in on January 1st, you have to sign up by Tuesday December 15, 2015. If you don’t apply by that date, you still have until January 31, 2016 to sign up (coverage would start in February or March).

It sounds like you already know about the importance of having health insurance.  Not only does it give you peace of mind, but getting insurance means you can see a range of health care providers — from gynos to therapists to specialists — when you need to.  It means you can get preventive care (like birth control and breast and cervical cancer screenings) for free, without a copay.

Another reason it’s important is because, this year, most people who don’t have insurance for 3 or more months of the year will have to pay a fine of $695, or 2.5% of your income, whichever is greater.  

If one or both of your parents have insurance, you can most likely stay on their health insurance plan until you’re 26 years old. You’ll want to call your parent’s plan to be sure. Generally you can stay on your parent’s plan until age 26 even if you start or leave school, get married, or live in or out of your parent’s home.

We have a lot of resources available for you to help you understand how health insurance works, how to get it, and how to pay for it.

Learn about the health insurance law (Affordable Care Act, sometimes called Obamacare)>

Read up on health insurance lingo>

Calculate your cost and see if you qualify for financial help to afford coverage>

Find a health insurance plan and sign up>

Many people can get financial assistance to help afford health insurance. If you’re still confused or worried about what steps to take next, you can get free, in-person assistance signing up and picking a plan. These are people trained to help you understand your options and understand health insurance basics.

But remember: with or without health insurance, everyone is always welcome at Planned Parenthood. Our doors are open — no matter what.

Relationships are scary and complicated ONLY when you start thinking of your partner as some kind of adversary. 

You know how to stop being scared of relationships? Remember that it’s got a goddamn buddy system *built in*. That’s all a relationship IS: “Let’s approach life with the buddy system.”

Check on your buddy. Make sure your buddy doesn’t forget their lunch box on the schoolbus. Hold hands with your buddy so you don’t get lost. If your buddy wants to look at the monkey cage, look at the goddamn monkey cage with them. If you are the one looking at the monkey cage, ask your buddy what they want to do next, and when they want to feed the giraffe, help them find a quarter for the little food dispenser. Be a good buddy, and if your buddy isn’t a good one too, tell the teacher and ask for a new one.

This isn’t fucking rocket science, people.

What do you want me to say? Yes! You’re right! We’re just one big walking disaster. And yeah, my life would probably be a whole hell of a lot easier if I just walked out that door right now. I know that. But the thing is, I already know that there’s not one fucking thing on the other side of that door could ever come close to making me as happy as I am when I’m with you. That’s why I’m here, because I love you. No matter how hard things get, no matter what shit life throws at us, there’s no where else I’d rather be. I want to spend the rest of my life right here, right next to you.

Hey kid, what’s going on, want to check out my pit of souls?

Yeah, those souls sure are way deep down in that pit there huh?

Or… not? Get your hands out of my soul pit.

Okay, I’ll admit that’s apparently some impressive reach…

Like, really impressive reach….

 Attention, people who have had bad mothers. People who have had to basically raise themselves. 

Please, Buy yourself something nice this mothers day. And if you can’t do that, remember to pat yourself on the back. You did something for yourself that not even the person who birthed, or chose you, could. You got yourself here, and that is well deserving of praise.

“Your job — as students who are receiving an education — is to be aware of your privilege. And use this particular privilege called “education” to do your best to achieve great things, all the while advocating for those in the rows behind you.”

i’m reblogging because of that last line.

so many people on tumblr think ‘privelege’ means ‘feel guilty and apologize a lot’. but it’s actually a power you can use to help people who don’t have it.

imagine if the kids in the back of the room passed their paper balls forward so the kids in the front row could take the shot for them.

Rant

......not like anyone gives a shit anyway

I miss you. I want you to miss me. I was to go on adventures with you. I want to do weird shit like going to a park just to people watch. I want to go to a bookstore with you, have each of us buy a new book, and then go to the beach or the woods or somewhere in nature and just sit together and read. I want to go ballroom dancing with you. I want to see that look in your eyes again when you hold me. I want you to take me into your arms, dip me backwards, and then kiss me like you used to. I want to wake up making love to you not even remembering when we started. I want all of the things we used to have before I went and fucked it all up.......but really was what I did that bad?

I was controlling, I was scared, I was also walking around with the weight of the world on my shoulders. and then you left......and then you left again.....and then you came back but only a little.....I dont know.

......I just want to smile again, and it’s been so long.....

I've discovered there's a lot you can do inside haunted houses.

For example, you can:

be in a shampoo commercial

start a boy band:

spot some choice booty:

break into song:

see some people in frankly offensive outfits:

attend a metal show:

listen to some sick jams:

discover zombieism:

sample some tasty snacks:

watch someone get burned bad:

find something you really like:

find something you really, really like:

find something you REALLY REALLY LIKE:

and wonder if you left the stove on:

A 12-year-old schoolgirl has been accepted into Mensa after discovering she is brainier than both Albert Einstein and Stephen Hawking.

Olivia Manning, from Liverpool, managed to get a whopping score in an IQ test of 162 - well above the 100 average.

Her score is not only two points better than genius German physicist Einstein and Professor Stephen Hawking, but puts her in the top one per cent of intelligent people in the world.

She’s a kid who got higher on Mensa than two adults revered by the scientific and intellectual community world wide. SHe should be their god. Her brain’s not even done cooking yet; when she’s finished, she might be 180. 230!
