Everyday we get one step closer to the edge, and I'm about to break.

Selling to Datadog isn't a guarantee. The most important detail is that they're exploring a sale, and other companies are probably going to be interested.

Partially owned gives room for the product to stay alive. It being fully owned by Google makes it subject to being killed.

I pay $30 per doctor's visit and $40 if the visit is for a specialist. I also pay $0 for a yearly checkup and $0 for telehealth. For any hospital visits, I pay 20% of whatever the actual bill is after a $300 copay (basically a down payment), which came out to a total of $600 when I went to the ER. Lastly, my prescription drugs are capped at $10 per month for generics and $150 for some brand-name drugs.

I use a ton of healthcare and the costs have been super manageable, but affordability is going to vary wildly between people. A ton of insurance plans don't start working until you hit an out-of-pocket minimum of several thousand dollars, and others work like mine except with way higher copays.

Lastly, insurance often doesn't cover certain drugs or procedures. As someone with really good insurance with good customer service, it's still an issue every so often, and the solution is either to find an alternative, try to find a manufacturer's coupon and pay up, or suck it up and move on. There are insurance companies that use shady tactics to get them out of paying for certain expensive drugs that they're supposed to cover.

Long-distance calls being equivalent to local calls has been an incredibly good change.

Does the UK not teach media literacy? I went to public school in Texas and we were given lessons on basic media literacy every few years at a minimum, though I don't think it was in-depth enough.

That's close to 2!

All that buying another soda maker does is create more waste. If you don't want to support Sodastream, then buy some of the high-quality accessories from 3rd parties.
