The issue is you spend so long to get to this point in your career where you can actually start building a financial future for yourself, a stable retirement, and send your kid to college, but it’s so easy to get a disqualifying condition and be otherwise healthy and functioning. The feds keep moving the goalposts on so many things too. They are also currently searching pharmacy records to see what prescriptions you are filling and catch you not reporting. I didn’t think that was even legal with HIPPA.
