Sure charge $300 for a basic office visit with a $50 appointment setting fee if you are a cash paying patient and make sure the front desk person is as snarky and rude as possible toward people without commercial insurance
Yes fresh faced 20 somethings that all look, act the same who have this weird problem almost sick obsession with (EQ). Being a nice person who is a hard worker no longer good enough in today's New economy. I am over 40,unemployable because I needed to take some time off. Self studying front and back end development, having an accounting degree means nothing because I am an introvert and act nervous etc.. So don't interview well
There is a huge amount of age discrimination. If you are over 40 especially in most STEM fields, you may accounting especially. Most of the 'auditors' at the Big 4 look like they are just out of school (college). For a full time middle class white collar job that provides health insurance,Employers want people under 40, white and have no gaps in employment.
Yes under 30 white with great social skills also known as good fit. Come to the Boston area, everyone looks the same and self segregates based on race outside of the office
Yes it's a vicious circle. If you have any type of illness mental illness and have poor work history or worse currently unemployed then it is tough to impossible to find a full time job with insurance. I am 43 essentially unemployable due to a poor work history, on mass health which is second class coverage. The newest and better anti depressants are not covered so I continue on Prozac, Lexapro which make me unmotivated and indifferent.
