Better living through hypochondria

OK, I accidentally read some Wikipedia articles and now I'm terrified. They had pictures and everything it was horrible. I really want to set up an appointment ASAP with someone for a checkup. I've got credit.

Any local recommendations? I literally have no doctor or plan or nuthin. I'm a free agent.



Hmm, a nice little project I can do today is look into buying health insurance for myself, too. I quite honestly have no idea about any of this stuff.

Edit [livejournal.com profile] leahleaf and [livejournal.com profile] jadelennox slid some URLs at me, and I contacted these folks. I hope to get myself nice n set up by Jan 1. I feel better already.

I looked at that and it seemed like an interesting program. They say 'affordable health care' but the last time someone used that line on me their idea of 'affordable' was higher than my rent.

Actually, the place I work for has recently offered a volentary new health insurance plan -- something I haven't quite classified as junk-mail yet.

The program I linked to is specific to MA, but maybe they have activity elsewhere in the country.

I phoned em, and they just collected some contact info and said they'd email me. I don't know how much anything costs yet. I can almost guarantee you it won't be more than my rent, though, ha ha barf.
