Everyone is living different lives and have different worldviews, but I can't be friends with someone who doesn't believe I have the right to exist. That's where the division happens, not because I'm in Oregon and they're in Texas, but because they think I shouldn't be alive. And it shouldn't be up to me to try to bridge that divide by agreeing to disagree....on my life.
@@Majoritypersonnot at the cost of a woman and mother’s life. Thats where a line should be drawn. A woman is a whole person that is not defined by children or lack thereof. Medically and physically that should only be discussed between her and her doctor. If it risks her entire life and who she has in her life to love and care for then the unborn child isn’t the priority and couldn’t survive outside her so she is the main priority. Politics do not have a place in a medical decision where they won’t be providing or caring for anything for said child. They don’t take care of the children in foster care as it is. That would be caring for children and life. The ones we already need to care for that don’t have the care.
Even with my husband working for a large company we pay $600 a month for health insurance and our max out of pocket is $8000. Our household income before tax is under 100k. We spend $15k a year if we pay our insurance and go to the doctors. This is a major expense and we literally avoid going to the doctors. It’s maddening.
@@didi-bc1xs I’m not sure my kiddo would handle the travel well. She’s young and that would be extremely far from our section of the USA. I get why people go who live close to the boarder.
that would be the marketplace Obama Care. If we just let the consumer market loose and people could have acess to any plan with any company they want prices would go down. I don't believe in socialized medicine and I think other countries make it look to us like it is a panacea for all health issues are not really satisfied with their care, The long wait periods and missed dianosis due to waiting time etc. So I don't think that is the answer either. But it sure isn't The Affordable Care Act
@@annestep6741 I live in a country with socialized medicine. There are also a few private insurance plans as well, but they are in competition with the cheaper ones, and people chose their plans based on need and region. I'm on a the public plan and I pay for an enhanced package (which is maybe 5 USD more), I've had various health conditions and I've never waited more than a week or two for a specialist for non urgent care. The hardest doctor to schedule with, in my experience is a mental health specialists (psychologists and psychiatrists). After that, is the gyno. In the most rural village or urban city, it might take a few days to see one that isn't your primary. No one is dying because of long wait periods.
@@annestep6741I live in the UK and the NHS is far from perfect, but you will get good care and if you need it urgently you will get it urgently. You have the option to go private if you are facing a long wait time and you just want to get whatever it is sorted out. Paying $7000 for an X-ray is absolutely crazy - and that’s on top of what you pay each month for your cover? Yes we pay for the NHS through tax but it’s not like your taxes in the US are materially lower than ours. I just don’t understand how you guys tolerate this system.
@@annestep6741Obamacare allows me to get a plan that is affordable despite my pre existing conditions. When let loose as an independent contractor it cost more than twice my mortgage.
My blood runs cold thinking about the American health system. I’m in Scotland, UK. Contraception. Free. Prenatal, postnatal care. Labour. Birth. Free. Emergency endoscopy. Free. Emergency hand surgery with plastics. Free. Kidney stone removal free. HRT, free. Child’s tonsillectomy. Free. Paediatrician. Cardiology. Gynaecology. Respiratory and sleep study. Free. X-rays. MRI. Allergy testing. Free. General appointments free. Prescriptions, free. Course of CBT. Free. Autism and ADHD assessment free. Colonoscopy free. Laparoscopy and endometriosis removal. Free. This has literally been for our family in one year….(we’ve had a rough year 😂). I can’t imagine if we had to pay….
That would probably cost $500,000 or more in the United States but with insurance it would still be at LEAST $1,500/month for me PLUS $18,500 and whatever doctor co-pays are. Insane!!! You are sooooooo blessed with that healthcare!!! I cannot even imagine
What they forget to tell you is, yes, this all free at a point of need. But the waiting times are horrendous. We can wait months or years for all of the above in scotland. Plus not really free we pay for all these services through our tax system like national insurance from our wages. A lot of folk go private for health issues as its quicker to get help but yeah no were near as much a people get charged in USA General GP stuff you can get prescription on the day of appointment. Hospital stuff months and months of waiting it's so bad.
It's tiered at what is considered to be most urgent. My grandfather was diagnosed with cancer and treated with surgery in less than 3 months. All free.
@@Maria-jm1cd New Flash: We in the US have VERY long wait times of months or years depending on where you live and what your medical needs are. The US, even if you have what is considered "good" insurance here - is a hell hole for medical care. If you get really sick you WILL almost always have a lot of out of pocket expenses. Most US bankruptcies are due to medical debt. We would pay FAR LESS if we have universal medical system rather than a for-profit scheme with 900+ insurance companies.
I just wanted to take a minute to thank you for these videos. I didn’t comment on the first one, but I should have. I really enjoy listening to you. Speak, you do it in such a beautiful way. You emphasize that these are your opinions, and that is wonderful and it’s nice to hear someone speaking openly and honestly, without fear.❤
I'm so excited you answered my question (about what job you would get)!! I had to show my husband lol. I am so happy to hear you didn't receive any (or many) negative comments on your last video when you shared about the peace you feel with Jesus in your life, because I feel the same way! I tried commenting on that video but it didn't go through, but I was so thankful for you sharing that with us. Maybe God knew people needed to hear about Him through your platform.
BE WHO YOU ARE ON PURPOSE. I’m going to remind myself of that as much as I can. Don’t backtrack. Continue forward, girl. Don’t censor yourself. It is so hard, but it is so worth it.
Moving from America to Australia which has medicare (free public health) for everyone and replaced the crazy orange dyes in cheetos, mac n cheese and High fructose corn syrup in Dr. Pepper with just natural sugar had opened my eyes up to alot of things. The US had alot of amazing qualities but can also grow in alot of ways
I'm training to be one and it's my interest in human beings that was the catalyst 😊 I have let's say... 'life experience' but I have no interest in delivering that kind of therapy or working in that realm. Many just want to help people live well... But there are definitely some very interesting characters attracted to psych practice.
Hearing you talk about the challenges with screen time in PNW winter is EXACTLY my current gripe. I try desperately to keep my kids away from excessive tv time but it is HARD during these long, dark winters. Plus, my energy levels are wayyyy down in winter.
Therapist here - you can absolutely work in the field of mental health despite having your own struggles. It guided me to specialize in anxiety. In fact, I feel like those who have had their own struggles make them better therapists because they get it and they’ve likely done the work to get to the other side so they know the process. I feel like it helps instill hope in others.
Kristie, this is what THIMBLES are for. To push the needle through without hurting your fingers. Hope this helps and you run out and get a thimble. It will make the work go so much faster. Merry Christmas.
I feel like the agree to disagree is valid for pineapple on pizza, but not about opinions that can potentionally harm another human being. Having lesser opinions of some people than others (for example, being a homophobe is an opinion) is not an opinion I can vibe with. Just how I view it personally! But I too like having diverse conversations
This. Rn one party is about facts and morals while the other ones is the opposite, no morals, don’t believe in facts and about conspiracy theories. I could have been okay with this idea of “agree to disagree” in the past with other Rep. but not whatever their party has become which even the OG Rep. don’t recognize anymore.
Emotionally, I understand, but the thing is we have individual liberties to make those freedom of associations for ourselves. Harm means something different from one group to the next, not to mention how the definition and measures change every century.
This is so unnecessarily inflammatory. To see half the country as completely brainwashed and horrible people is a terrible way to live your life. The VAST majority of people are good, kind people that want the best for others and our country. They just see differently what is good or bad for people. Please practice love and kindness and avoid demonizing millions of people for political reasons. How do you think the holocaust happened? Let’s encourage more dialog and understanding.
@@MissYaldahopefully someday you realize you're part of the problem when you claim everyone who doesn't vote like you (literally 75,000,000 people) doesn't believe in facts and doesn't have morals...

Living in australia - listening to your health insurance breakdown..just wow. People complain about our high taxes…but atleast I can sleep easy at night knowing if anything happens to me or my family, I can go to the hospital and get treatment without fear of debt🤯
I’ve been rolling the dice without health insurance for over a decade. I had a baby in June, failed home birth. Without insurance my total cost with complications was less than the monthly premium for 7 months plus the deductible I qualified for with ACA. I got a 70 PERCENT DISCOUNT for paying cash. Insurance is the biggest legal extortion in this fucking country.
Re: Politics. I worked for the government for AWHILE and can tell you that who is in power makes a profound difference. One leader instituted a moratorium on building in greenbelt areas to protect farmland and the environment, cut out coal-fired plants and instituted free pre-K care in our schools. That's real change people see immediately in the care their children are given, the time they have to pursue their careers (should that be what they want) and cleaner air to breathe. In terms of politicians lying, well, Jack Nicholson had it right ... many people can't handle the truth. I know this sounds infantilizing but imagine a politician saying 'well, it looks like we don't have enough money to do much of anything while I'm in power, but I'll do my best' getting a tonne of votes. I think well-meaning politicians plug their noses and make promises they HOPE they can keep (while knowing everything they promise is impossible) so they can get into power to make the changes they CAN make. I understand if you're not in politics or pay much attention to it, it can seem like it's a shit show but real change happens depending on who you vote for; some positive, some ... not so much (Handmaid's Tale). And while half the country may be upset if their candidate doesn't 'win', they would still benefit from the positive changes made by a leader/party/government who actually has the people's best interests at heart.
What you described was peanuts for the people so they don’t catch on to what’s really happening. Yes we want people in power to be honest. People can handle the truth. Lies create confusion and distrust. If a politician was honest he would say we have enough money to kill people but not enough to actually make life enjoyable. Real change comes from grassroots movements not from the top.
All presidents make a positive impact in at least a few areas. Not all areas matter to everyone. I hope you are and have been content during your lifetime regardless of who’s in office because although your candidate won’t win all the time, as you state, you still benefit in some aspect.
As someone born with Turner's syndrome, and will never have children, and someone who lost thier mom going on 2 years ago now, I appreciate you making separate videos! Look forward to seeing them!
I really like these kinds of videos. In this day and age it's scary to put your opinions out there because there's always going to be a group of people who want to bring you down for what you believe. I rarely talk to anyone outside of my immediate family anymore because of this. It's really sad that society has turned into what it is. Keep being you!
Yes! Keep it coming Kristi! I enjoy listening to your views and it shows how brave you are. And it suits you 🥰. If anyone can speak on taboo topics, it’s you! You give off an aura of authenticity and that is what I always admired about you. You’re my kind of people Kristi ☺️ Thank you!
Only 23% of Americans voted for him. My point is a lot of people don’t feel represented by either party, thus more than half of people are mad about the two party system.
I went to counseling at a women's home. We would set out on her deck and just talk. She would ask questions to help me actually look at causes and my options. Being out on the deck was so relaxing and made opening up easier. I think you would make a great counselor and you have a perfect property to create a relaxing space.
I’m so glad someone is finally talking about the healthcare system. Family of 6 here in Redding California- PHENOMENAL amount. And for what? Where is it all going? To whom? It’s absolutely insane and something has to change 😢
Hey bestie. Another homesteader friend of mine had to shut down her farmers market due to the FDA last week. This is going to hurt small local farmers and homesteaders. I feel this means more chemicals and more reliance on production as they press harder and harder on the necks of those trying to keep the organic living and thriving going.
Terrible! What was their reasoning?? I wonder if this is a new regulation that theyve enacted or something that's already been happening. Im so sorry for your friend!! What a shitty thing to happen
I'll put on my tin foil hat here... but I've got a feeling that since Project 2025 wants to completely scrap the FDA and go with what his people are proposing- if they change regulation on produce, I feel that it'll only benefit the government and make it inaccessible for anyone other than them to make any sort of living off their crops. Project 2025 also proposes a sort of internment camp for the 'undesirable' population as specified as the mentally ill, disabled, addicts, prisoners, etc where they will be all living together to grow organic produce. Project 2025 says that it'll be voluntary to go, but I believe that it's a lie. That it'll be slave labor because who would voluntarily live somewhere with prisoners who may be deemed dangerous?
Look into PA vs Amos Miller (or vice versa). The FDA has come after his Amish farm for not following regulations. There’s a federal suit involved. These three letter agencies have too much power! If someone wants to buy Amish grown foods, let them make that decision without the govt sniffing their plate!
I'm someone who commented on your last video. I was an absolute atheist, there was no changing my mind and I had zero interest. Since August I have had a strong pull towards Jesus and the Bible, even though I didn't want it. I am now a complete and utter believer. I am so shocked by my own transformation. I also have a 4 year old, and he has loved all the Christmas church services this year. I'm so looking forward to 2025 whatever it brings ❤ Working on my husband, he'll get there 🙏
❤❤❤ Isn't it incredible to see the world through this new spiritual lense? It happened in 2018 for me. Christ saved me and my marriage. My husband came to Jesus soon after I did and it's transformed our family. Welcome to the family of Christ!
My mom suddenly passed away when I was 17, I unfortunately found her so I completely understand numbing yourself & “keeping yourself occupied” with the money you received. I got 50k & it was gone within 3 months. I look back & wish someone would have helped me manage it better but.. my dad probably felt the same way yours did. I’m so sorry we can relate to this topic but it’s nice to know I’m not alone! I’m 30 now & have been watching you for YEARS!! I appreciate your content so so much & these types of videos 💖 sending you so much love!! Happy holidays ✨
Giiiiirrrrrlll I am so sick of the insurance scam! It is the biggest nationwide change I'm praying for the next 10 years. The way all insurance almost doubled in the last 12 mths...no way. I'm thinking about actually canceling our private health insurance because we get 3 rxs a month and go to the doctor 1-2 times a year, that's it. I've always kept it due to that "what if" but I'm so tired of it.
I know I am a stranger on the internet, but I'm here to strongly urge you not to get rid of your health insurance if you can financially swing keeping it. Things may be fine now, but the minute it lapses, sh*t will hit the fan and medical bills without insurance can completely wreck someone's future. I just am saying this because I have had things come up WITH insurance that I am still digging myself out of debt for.
I had insurance through my employer but recently left them and I paid almost. 400 to get insurance and over 300 a month (single) to then go to the pharmacy for a script and paid 250…. I canceled it the next day!
@sarahfitts430 I do understand that because one of my kids was in a bad wreck last year and insurance paid a ton for us and we were only responsible for $4k and for that I was grateful! But as much money I make, it is getting financially harder to justify. And insurance preys on people who are afraid of what if scenarios.
So I have my own studio hair salon and we paid $1200 a month for my family of four with a $10,000 deductible. We chose to cancel and find a concierge clinic and be cash pay to give us some breathing room financially for a year. We set aside half the monthly payment a month into savings as a just in case safety net but I was soooo stressed all year about something happening so we may go back to traditional insurance but having a year off was definitely needed
My husband and I haven’t paid for health insurance for 14 years and we’ve been ok so far 😬 edit to say we also work out several times a week and also do long form endurance training once every weekend. And we try to eat healthy. So that helps.
Also there are a lot of awesome WOC senators and congresswomen who are so staunchly honest and compassionate, fighting for small communities and working people. Love to support them even if they arent from my tragic state!
Thank you for voicing your opinion and touching on topics which should be brought to the light. I love your perspective of equality, and I appreciate your openness and respectfulness. I feel it’s up to us (the people) to stand for a better life, whether we agree on certain things or not, because it’s the united people who will make a difference. To bring forth a healthier life, a more sustainable, less toxic life for our bodies, minds, and spirits. Whether someone disagrees or not, it’s about courage and perseverance. Stepping into the unknown, coming together, supporting and understanding each other’s genuine needs. I think it’s heartbreaking how our country has been developing over the last couple of centuries, but there are people who continue to bring forth hope in this world. People who won’t stop until they can’t go anymore. Resilience, strive. Thank you for continuing to bring attention to topics which make people second guess the capitalism in our country. I love the shoes, btw. All the videos with artworks are inspiring!
What a great video! The way you articulate your opinion, and your thoughts are absolutely beautiful. I have so much respect! God bless See you in the next video. ❤
I found the key to surviving winter in the PNW is having activities for kids after dark. Such as swim lessons or evenings at friends or grandparents. It helps cut back on screen time.
You're politics are exactly like mine. It's refreshing! Our diversity as a nation is why we need local control. Were using a cost sharing group cald sederna. Just decided to try since ours was 2k/mo for us, a childless couple in our 40s. 😮😮 You need a thimble. The embroidery is so cute!! She will love them. We love your brain. Thank you for sharing. 😊
The fact that the insurance can dictate WHEN you can pick up prescriptions blows my mind as well. I’m on medications where I could have literal seizures if I can’t pick them up on time. God forbid the doctor recommends me not to take the sugar pills in my birth control because I have a whole slew of issues when I am on my period and the insurance wants to tell me I’m picking up my birth control too soon?! Madness.
You are so worth being heard and I love listening to your perspective... I find you to be quite intelligent... I could listen to you talk for hours... Your common sense is uncommon...😊💛🙃
I'm Canadian and pay for insurance (not insanely expensive, but a couple hundred a month roughly) through my employer, and I'm chronically ill (multiple conditions)... If I was American I'd be paying around 20 THOUSAND ($20k) per month for ONE of my medications. Insanity. I pay NOTHING for that medication, and about $6 for my other meds (gabapentin, etc)... next to nothing. And I can claim those prescription costs on my taxes America is insane for keeping the "health for profit" system 😢
Husband is postal. We WERE on the same insurance congress were on but they just kicked us off. (30 years he's been employed there) we were paying 1200.00 a month and the gov was paying 1700.00 PER MONTH. Great,, except 6.5k deductible per year and I had cancer the first time at 33. Years of paying that deductible. 10 good years, new second cancer.. back to square one. No retirement savings bcuz he just got over 50k a year since covid. We don't take vacations, 1 in 30 years together. 1 vehicle, used, no new furniture all hand me downs and thrifting... being sick in America means a lifetime of trying to just keep your head above water. Fix this kids, eat the rich.. seriously enough.
Yep, the health insurance in America is absolutely bonkers, you’re wonderful self-employed lady taking care of your family bravo to you. Thank you for talking about your faith. It is incredibly meaningful. Praying for you and your family. I’m from a small town in Washington state and totally agree how different it is for all of us. We’re all on our own journey and I just wanna try and love and accept everyone in this journey of life that we’re all on. Thank you Kristy for your openness and honesty, It’s so refreshing. Peace and love merry Christmas and happy new year 2025 will be better PS who knows what those dang drones are doing it’s wild 😂
Looking forward to your grief video. You are an inspiration to me, you appear well adjusted to life and we share the majority of the same opinions, I’m curious to hear your journey and how you came out on the other side.

You were my favorite youtuber in 2019 and you're my favorite youtuber today. I love your content no matter what its about because I'm really just here for kristi content!
The health insurance issue in america is truely disgusting. srry not srry. how is it even possible people still live there i ask myself (i would move) and than i realize most people dont even have the financial ability to move! (i could not either) imagine you are stuck with a system like that for life. i swear all humans should be on the streets demonstrating,striking and refuse working till the few rich stop exploiting humans. cause obviously these f* are monsters.
General Practitioners in South Africa cost around $20-$30 dollars and all GPs can manage common chronic diseases like hypertension and diabetes. A vial of insulin will cost around $10-$15 and there are plenty of generics that brings cost down. We have a large lower class community that can't afford medical aid/health insurance, so we have a large public health system where medications are free. Unfortunately, not all the facilities are the same in terms of quality of care, but the service exists. Long queuing times is a given on the day but they do prioritise the elderly.
Kristi! I’m currently reading ‘Let This Radicalize You’ (I know, provocative title) by Kelly Hayes and Mariame Kaba, and it’s breathed so much hope and encouragement back into my spirit for creating a better world, outside the stuffy, brittle two-party set-up that you’re also done with.

We are the same during summer in AZ with screen time. It’s killer. I cap the kids to 1 hour in the morning and evening. But it’s tough when it’s 115 degrees out.
You basically have to destroy your body to get good insurance. My husband is retired military. I had to have surgery in 2021 and through the whole journey my medical bills totaled over $60K, but I only paid out of pocket maybe $1500 or so of it... So, amazing insurance, but my husbands body was the cost
I know health insurance is not good for most of america, but i didn't know it was that bad (i live here in the u.s) but my husband's work has Centivo insurance and his is $600-700 a month for our family but its a zero deductible plan. And they seem to cover quite a lot. So this probably doesn't help many people but Centivo seems to be decent although i think its pretty new
Pleeeeeease make an infertility video! I'm in the thick of grief after just closing the chapter. Treatment was way too hard on my mental health and I'm just done
I know someone who has diagnosed with breast cancer later in the year, like October or something. Reached her out of pocket max in December and then had do meet it again once the year reset with no help from insurance.
RE: the stricter FDA regulations, I think this question is referring to the raw-milk movement currently going on (at least near me, in texas). Conservative legislators are trying to make raw milk more accessible. Citizens believe it is more nutritious and tastes better (which may be true, but only marginally), but it is proven to be unsafe.
It cured my husbands allergies. Also, there is more risk of food born illness from deli meat than raw milk from a farm that cleans their equipment and cows properly.
My former insurance policy was $1200/month with deductive and out of pocket of $30,000. My employer paid the premium as part of my benefits but it made having chronic and auto immune issues hell. I paid for everything and avoided treatment for a lot of issues.
Enjoyed this video and couldnt agree more. Im done biting my tongue to protect peoples feelings. The truth is the truth there is no "Your truth" or "my truth" As Believers we know who wins in the end🙌🏼🙌🏼

For getting into community...have you considered becoming apart of a non profit board of directors?? I think that you're the perfect type of person for that type of position!
I so appreciate speaking to how different environments shape peoples opinions, and values. If you live with totally different conditions, what makes your life more beautiful, harmonious, and safe will be very different from another person in a different region. Its exhausting the judgment from people who have no knowledge of a people's region, the ideologies, the culture, looking from the outside, and don't experience the consequences of their values/rules/norms being imposed on people with different needs. I.e. like being a pacifist when you live in a homogenous region, with no religious extremism, and financial stability, like okay bro, just let your family be slaughtered.
The thing with medical insurance, it's not perfect in other countries. I live in Europe, lived in few other parts of the world , and I know flaws... But, if you are paying this amount of money every month you would expect to have perfect serv, full coverage, great conditions... I have additional private medical insurance (additional to the state one) paying 25 EUR per month, gives me access to private hospitals, with 50 per month I would have everything!

Everyone is living different lives and have different worldviews, but I can't be friends with someone who doesn't believe I have the right to exist. That's where the division happens, not because I'm in Oregon and they're in Texas, but because they think I shouldn't be alive. And it shouldn't be up to me to try to bridge that divide by agreeing to disagree....on my life.
💙 exactly.
I’m not sure what your circumstances are, but I agree everyone has a right to live!! Including unborn children 💕
lol neither political party wants you dead.
@@Majoritypersonnot at the cost of a woman and mother’s life. Thats where a line should be drawn. A woman is a whole person that is not defined by children or lack thereof. Medically and physically that should only be discussed between her and her doctor. If it risks her entire life and who she has in her life to love and care for then the unborn child isn’t the priority and couldn’t survive outside her so she is the main priority. Politics do not have a place in a medical decision where they won’t be providing or caring for anything for said child. They don’t take care of the children in foster care as it is. That would be caring for children and life. The ones we already need to care for that don’t have the care.
@@MajoritypersonI am fairly certain they are talking about the LGBTQ+ community. Do you still agree on that?
Even with my husband working for a large company we pay $600 a month for health insurance and our max out of pocket is $8000. Our household income before tax is under 100k. We spend $15k a year if we pay our insurance and go to the doctors. This is a major expense and we literally avoid going to the doctors. It’s maddening.

I'm on a the public plan and I pay for an enhanced package (which is maybe 5 USD more), I've had various health conditions and I've never waited more than a week or two for a specialist for non urgent care. The hardest doctor to schedule with, in my experience is a mental health specialists (psychologists and psychiatrists). After that, is the gyno.

No one is dying because of long wait periods.
@@annestep6741I live in the UK and the NHS is far from perfect, but you will get good care and if you need it urgently you will get it urgently.

Yes we pay for the NHS through tax but it’s not like your taxes in the US are materially lower than ours. I just don’t understand how you guys tolerate this system.
@@annestep6741Obamacare allows me to get a plan that is affordable despite my pre existing conditions. When let loose as an independent contractor it cost more than twice my mortgage.
Personally, someone's rights aren't opinions.
Exactly! That´s a non negotiable!
My blood runs cold thinking about the American health system. I’m in Scotland, UK.
Contraception. Free. Prenatal, postnatal care. Labour. Birth. Free. Emergency endoscopy. Free. Emergency hand surgery with plastics. Free. Kidney stone removal free. HRT, free. Child’s tonsillectomy. Free. Paediatrician. Cardiology. Gynaecology. Respiratory and sleep study. Free. X-rays. MRI. Allergy testing. Free. General appointments free. Prescriptions, free. Course of CBT. Free. Autism and ADHD assessment free. Colonoscopy free. Laparoscopy and endometriosis removal. Free. This has literally been for our family in one year….(we’ve had a rough year 😂). I can’t imagine if we had to pay….
That would probably cost $500,000 or more in the United States but with insurance it would still be at LEAST $1,500/month for me PLUS $18,500 and whatever doctor co-pays are. Insane!!! You are sooooooo blessed with that healthcare!!! I cannot even imagine
Scotland forever! I love how progressive scotland is ❤
What they forget to tell you is, yes, this all free at a point of need. But the waiting times are horrendous. We can wait months or years for all of the above in scotland. Plus not really free we pay for all these services through our tax system like national insurance from our wages.
A lot of folk go private for health issues as its quicker to get help but yeah no were near as much a people get charged in USA
General GP stuff you can get prescription on the day of appointment. Hospital stuff months and months of waiting it's so bad.
It's tiered at what is considered to be most urgent. My grandfather was diagnosed with cancer and treated with surgery in less than 3 months. All free.
@@Maria-jm1cd New Flash: We in the US have VERY long wait times of months or years depending on where you live and what your medical needs are. The US, even if you have what is considered "good" insurance here - is a hell hole for medical care. If you get really sick you WILL almost always have a lot of out of pocket expenses. Most US bankruptcies are due to medical debt. We would pay FAR LESS if we have universal medical system rather than a for-profit scheme with 900+ insurance companies.
I just wanted to take a minute to thank you for these videos. I didn’t comment on the first one, but I should have. I really enjoy listening to you. Speak, you do it in such a beautiful way. You emphasize that these are your opinions, and that is wonderful and it’s nice to hear someone speaking openly and honestly, without fear.❤
I knew health insurance was expensive in the US, but to hear an actual breakdown of the costs, deductibles and coverage......INSANE!
I'm so excited you answered my question (about what job you would get)!! I had to show my husband lol. I am so happy to hear you didn't receive any (or many) negative comments on your last video when you shared about the peace you feel with Jesus in your life, because I feel the same way! I tried commenting on that video but it didn't go through, but I was so thankful for you sharing that with us. Maybe God knew people needed to hear about Him through your platform.
BE WHO YOU ARE ON PURPOSE. I’m going to remind myself of that as much as I can. Don’t backtrack. Continue forward, girl. Don’t censor yourself. It is so hard, but it is so worth it.
Moving from America to Australia which has medicare (free public health) for everyone and replaced the crazy orange dyes in cheetos, mac n cheese and High fructose corn syrup in Dr. Pepper with just natural sugar had opened my eyes up to alot of things. The US had alot of amazing qualities but can also grow in alot of ways
The shoes are looking gorgeous! What a fantastic and thoughtful gift 🥹♥️
Omg thank you so much!!! I appreciate that so much!!
Yes very ❤😊
I like having friends with different opinions because I think it helps me grow as a human being!
@@heidifoss532 i draw the line at magats. too culty. So full of it.
I think all therapists have their own issues which is what sparked their interest in therapy. ❤
100% agree!
I'm training to be one and it's my interest in human beings that was the catalyst 😊 I have let's say... 'life experience' but I have no interest in delivering that kind of therapy or working in that realm.
Many just want to help people live well... But there are definitely some very interesting characters attracted to psych practice.
Hearing you talk about the challenges with screen time in PNW winter is EXACTLY my current gripe. I try desperately to keep my kids away from excessive tv time but it is HARD during these long, dark winters. Plus, my energy levels are wayyyy down in winter.
Exactly!! Dude it’s roughhhhhh! Solidarity
Therapist here - you can absolutely work in the field of mental health despite having your own struggles. It guided me to specialize in anxiety. In fact, I feel like those who have had their own struggles make them better therapists because they get it and they’ve likely done the work to get to the other side so they know the process. I feel like it helps instill hope in others.
Kristie, this is what THIMBLES are for.
To push the needle through without hurting your fingers.
Hope this helps and you run out and get a thimble.
It will make the work go so much faster.
Merry Christmas.
I feel like the agree to disagree is valid for pineapple on pizza, but not about opinions that can potentionally harm another human being. Having lesser opinions of some people than others (for example, being a homophobe is an opinion) is not an opinion I can vibe with. Just how I view it personally! But I too like having diverse conversations
This. Rn one party is about facts and morals while the other ones is the opposite, no morals, don’t believe in facts and about conspiracy theories. I could have been okay with this idea of “agree to disagree” in the past with other Rep. but not whatever their party has become which even the OG Rep. don’t recognize anymore.
Emotionally, I understand, but the thing is we have individual liberties to make those freedom of associations for ourselves. Harm means something different from one group to the next, not to mention how the definition and measures change every century.
@@RachelDeenot one part of your comment makes sense
This is so unnecessarily inflammatory. To see half the country as completely brainwashed and horrible people is a terrible way to live your life. The VAST majority of people are good, kind people that want the best for others and our country. They just see differently what is good or bad for people. Please practice love and kindness and avoid demonizing millions of people for political reasons. How do you think the holocaust happened? Let’s encourage more dialog and understanding.
@@MissYaldahopefully someday you realize you're part of the problem when you claim everyone who doesn't vote like you (literally 75,000,000 people) doesn't believe in facts and doesn't have morals...
Omg Kristi I’m just at the ad, but I have to comment. I’m SO glad you had this sponsor today. As someone who has trauma from past stalking, I’m constantly thinking about what people can find about me online and I cannot wait to use this service
Living in australia - listening to your health insurance breakdown..just wow. People complain about our high taxes…but atleast I can sleep easy at night knowing if anything happens to me or my family, I can go to the hospital and get treatment without fear of debt🤯
I’ve been rolling the dice without health insurance for over a decade. I had a baby in June, failed home birth. Without insurance my total cost with complications was less than the monthly premium for 7 months plus the deductible I qualified for with ACA. I got a 70 PERCENT DISCOUNT for paying cash. Insurance is the biggest legal extortion in this fucking country.
Re: Politics. I worked for the government for AWHILE and can tell you that who is in power makes a profound difference. One leader instituted a moratorium on building in greenbelt areas to protect farmland and the environment, cut out coal-fired plants and instituted free pre-K care in our schools. That's real change people see immediately in the care their children are given, the time they have to pursue their careers (should that be what they want) and cleaner air to breathe.
In terms of politicians lying, well, Jack Nicholson had it right ... many people can't handle the truth. I know this sounds infantilizing but imagine a politician saying 'well, it looks like we don't have enough money to do much of anything while I'm in power, but I'll do my best' getting a tonne of votes. I think well-meaning politicians plug their noses and make promises they HOPE they can keep (while knowing everything they promise is impossible) so they can get into power to make the changes they CAN make.
I understand if you're not in politics or pay much attention to it, it can seem like it's a shit show but real change happens depending on who you vote for; some positive, some ... not so much (Handmaid's Tale). And while half the country may be upset if their candidate doesn't 'win', they would still benefit from the positive changes made by a leader/party/government who actually has the people's best interests at heart.
What you described was peanuts for the people so they don’t catch on to what’s really happening. Yes we want people in power to be honest. People can handle the truth. Lies create confusion and distrust. If a politician was honest he would say we have enough money to kill people but not enough to actually make life enjoyable. Real change comes from grassroots movements not from the top.
All presidents make a positive impact in at least a few areas. Not all areas matter to everyone. I hope you are and have been content during your lifetime regardless of who’s in office because although your candidate won’t win all the time, as you state, you still benefit in some aspect.
As someone born with Turner's syndrome, and will never have children, and someone who lost thier mom going on 2 years ago now, I appreciate you making separate videos! Look forward to seeing them!
I really like these kinds of videos. In this day and age it's scary to put your opinions out there because there's always going to be a group of people who want to bring you down for what you believe. I rarely talk to anyone outside of my immediate family anymore because of this. It's really sad that society has turned into what it is. Keep being you!
I have never met another person in my life that thinks so much like me. I love watching you because you speak to my heart 😂
Yes! Keep it coming Kristi! I enjoy listening to your views and it shows how brave you are. And it suits you 🥰. If anyone can speak on taboo topics, it’s you! You give off an aura of authenticity and that is what I always admired about you. You’re my kind of people Kristi ☺️
Thank you!
The worst thing about the two party system is I think more than half of people are mad 😭
More than half of the country is happy and feels relief. People saw how bad things were getting and used their right to vote to make a change.
Only 23% of Americans voted for him. My point is a lot of people don’t feel represented by either party, thus more than half of people are mad about the two party system.
@@openfire👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾. People who believe in the two party system can’t see it. But this is the truth! It’s broken and people are tired.
I went to counseling at a women's home. We would set out on her deck and just talk. She would ask questions to help me actually look at causes and my options. Being out on the deck was so relaxing and made opening up easier. I think you would make a great counselor and you have a perfect property to create a relaxing space.
Cheers to being able to have opinions without being “cancelled.” Happy Holidays!
Pushback to opinions isnt being cancelled. Ya’ll are dramatic
I love how you explained your political views and the healthcare system. Btw the mushroom sneakers are adorable!! ❤😊
We just really like you to chat and you are honest without being hurtful. It's just nice to hear someone's perspectives in such a calm way.
I’m so glad someone is finally talking about the healthcare system. Family of 6 here in Redding California- PHENOMENAL amount. And for what? Where is it all going? To whom? It’s absolutely insane and something has to change 😢
Super candid Kristi is my fave Kristi ✨✌🏻
Hey bestie. Another homesteader friend of mine had to shut down her farmers market due to the FDA last week. This is going to hurt small local farmers and homesteaders. I feel this means more chemicals and more reliance on production as they press harder and harder on the necks of those trying to keep the organic living and thriving going.
Terrible! What was their reasoning?? I wonder if this is a new regulation that theyve enacted or something that's already been happening. Im so sorry for your friend!! What a shitty thing to happen
@ I’m anti-G. Neither side is good. They are pushing more and more for lab created food. I’m scared for our children. Sigh
I'll put on my tin foil hat here... but I've got a feeling that since Project 2025 wants to completely scrap the FDA and go with what his people are proposing- if they change regulation on produce, I feel that it'll only benefit the government and make it inaccessible for anyone other than them to make any sort of living off their crops. Project 2025 also proposes a sort of internment camp for the 'undesirable' population as specified as the mentally ill, disabled, addicts, prisoners, etc where they will be all living together to grow organic produce. Project 2025 says that it'll be voluntary to go, but I believe that it's a lie. That it'll be slave labor because who would voluntarily live somewhere with prisoners who may be deemed dangerous?
@@janelle_beans What page is that on?
Look into PA vs Amos Miller (or vice versa). The FDA has come after his Amish farm for not following regulations. There’s a federal suit involved. These three letter agencies have too much power! If someone wants to buy Amish grown foods, let them make that decision without the govt sniffing their plate!
Girl you are so talented! 2:00
I'm someone who commented on your last video. I was an absolute atheist, there was no changing my mind and I had zero interest. Since August I have had a strong pull towards Jesus and the Bible, even though I didn't want it. I am now a complete and utter believer. I am so shocked by my own transformation. I also have a 4 year old, and he has loved all the Christmas church services this year. I'm so looking forward to 2025 whatever it brings ❤
Working on my husband, he'll get there 🙏
❤❤❤ Isn't it incredible to see the world through this new spiritual lense? It happened in 2018 for me. Christ saved me and my marriage. My husband came to Jesus soon after I did and it's transformed our family. Welcome to the family of Christ!
I am always willing to listen, that’s where I learn the most. It’s awesome you listen and heard. Remember, Christians aren’t perfect, just forgiven!
Amen 🙌
Welcome to the fam❤
Same! I’m Alaskan native and spiritual but for some reason I’ve been having more faith and hope
The edits to add more context is why I love you 😂
My mom suddenly passed away when I was 17, I unfortunately found her so I completely understand numbing yourself & “keeping yourself occupied” with the money you received. I got 50k & it was gone within 3 months. I look back & wish someone would have helped me manage it better but.. my dad probably felt the same way yours did. I’m so sorry we can relate to this topic but it’s nice to know I’m not alone! I’m 30 now & have been watching you for YEARS!! I appreciate your content so so much & these types of videos 💖 sending you so much love!! Happy holidays ✨
Giiiiirrrrrlll I am so sick of the insurance scam! It is the biggest nationwide change I'm praying for the next 10 years. The way all insurance almost doubled in the last 12 mths...no way. I'm thinking about actually canceling our private health insurance because we get 3 rxs a month and go to the doctor 1-2 times a year, that's it. I've always kept it due to that "what if" but I'm so tired of it.
I know I am a stranger on the internet, but I'm here to strongly urge you not to get rid of your health insurance if you can financially swing keeping it. Things may be fine now, but the minute it lapses, sh*t will hit the fan and medical bills without insurance can completely wreck someone's future. I just am saying this because I have had things come up WITH insurance that I am still digging myself out of debt for.
I had insurance through my employer but recently left them and I paid almost. 400 to get insurance and over 300 a month (single) to then go to the pharmacy for a script and paid 250…. I canceled it the next day!
@sarahfitts430 I do understand that because one of my kids was in a bad wreck last year and insurance paid a ton for us and we were only responsible for $4k and for that I was grateful! But as much money I make, it is getting financially harder to justify. And insurance preys on people who are afraid of what if scenarios.
So I have my own studio hair salon and we paid $1200 a month for my family of four with a $10,000 deductible. We chose to cancel and find a concierge clinic and be cash pay to give us some breathing room financially for a year. We set aside half the monthly payment a month into savings as a just in case safety net but I was soooo stressed all year about something happening so we may go back to traditional insurance but having a year off was definitely needed
My husband and I haven’t paid for health insurance for 14 years and we’ve been ok so far 😬 edit to say we also work out several times a week and also do long form endurance training once every weekend. And we try to eat healthy. So that helps.
Also there are a lot of awesome WOC senators and congresswomen who are so staunchly honest and compassionate, fighting for small communities and working people. Love to support them even if they arent from my tragic state!
Thank you for voicing your opinion and touching on topics which should be brought to the light. I love your perspective of equality, and I appreciate your openness and respectfulness. I feel it’s up to us (the people) to stand for a better life, whether we agree on certain things or not, because it’s the united people who will make a difference. To bring forth a healthier life, a more sustainable, less toxic life for our bodies, minds, and spirits. Whether someone disagrees or not, it’s about courage and perseverance. Stepping into the unknown, coming together, supporting and understanding each other’s genuine needs. I think it’s heartbreaking how our country has been developing over the last couple of centuries, but there are people who continue to bring forth hope in this world. People who won’t stop until they can’t go anymore. Resilience, strive. Thank you for continuing to bring attention to topics which make people second guess the capitalism in our country.
I love the shoes, btw. All the videos with artworks are inspiring!
What a great video! The way you articulate your opinion, and your thoughts are absolutely beautiful. I have so much respect! God bless See you in the next video. ❤
I found the key to surviving winter in the PNW is having activities for kids after dark. Such as swim lessons or evenings at friends or grandparents. It helps cut back on screen time.
Yay Kristi! Glad the response on last video is as so good! Keep going girl! You're awesome!
I inherited my grandmas thimbles but I’m pretty sure you can still buy them, get one and save your fingers!!❤
GIRL your health insurance 😮I literally am flabbergasted. The $50 copay and the $8,500 deductible!!?? What are they actually covering prey tell!?!
You're politics are exactly like mine. It's refreshing!
Our diversity as a nation is why we need local control.
Were using a cost sharing group cald sederna. Just decided to try since ours was 2k/mo for us, a childless couple in our 40s. 😮😮
You need a thimble.
The embroidery is so cute!! She will love them.
We love your brain. Thank you for sharing. 😊
The fact that the insurance can dictate WHEN you can pick up prescriptions blows my mind as well. I’m on medications where I could have literal seizures if I can’t pick them up on time. God forbid the doctor recommends me not to take the sugar pills in my birth control because I have a whole slew of issues when I am on my period and the insurance wants to tell me I’m picking up my birth control too soon?! Madness.
You are so worth being heard and I love listening to your perspective... I find you to be quite intelligent... I could listen to you talk for hours... Your common sense is uncommon...😊💛🙃
I'm Canadian and pay for insurance (not insanely expensive, but a couple hundred a month roughly) through my employer, and I'm chronically ill (multiple conditions)... If I was American I'd be paying around 20 THOUSAND ($20k) per month for ONE of my medications. Insanity.
I pay NOTHING for that medication, and about $6 for my other meds (gabapentin, etc)... next to nothing.
And I can claim those prescription costs on my taxes
America is insane for keeping the "health for profit" system 😢
Husband is postal. We WERE on the same insurance congress were on but they just kicked us off. (30 years he's been employed there) we were paying 1200.00 a month and the gov was paying 1700.00 PER MONTH. Great,, except 6.5k deductible per year and I had cancer the first time at 33. Years of paying that deductible. 10 good years, new second cancer.. back to square one. No retirement savings bcuz he just got over 50k a year since covid. We don't take vacations, 1 in 30 years together. 1 vehicle, used, no new furniture all hand me downs and thrifting... being sick in America means a lifetime of trying to just keep your head above water. Fix this kids, eat the rich.. seriously enough.
SPEAK ON HEALTHCARE QUEEN!!! (Type 1 diabetic, PCOS, & chronic anxiety girly here)
Editing Kristi is giving me life 😂
Yep, the health insurance in America is absolutely bonkers, you’re wonderful self-employed lady taking care of your family bravo to you.
Thank you for talking about your faith. It is incredibly meaningful. Praying for you and your family.
I’m from a small town in Washington state and totally agree how different it is for all of us. We’re all on our own journey and I just wanna try and love and accept everyone in this journey of life that we’re all on. Thank you Kristy for your openness and honesty, It’s so refreshing.
Peace and love merry Christmas and happy new year 2025 will be better
PS who knows what those dang drones are doing it’s wild 😂
Looking forward to your grief video. You are an inspiration to me, you appear well adjusted to life and we share the majority of the same opinions, I’m curious to hear your journey and how you came out on the other side.
You are such a giving person Kristi. Such a dope idea. She will love those.
OMG the sneakers look so good i would wear them forever if someone gifted me them!! you are so talented!!
Oh my god this is so so nice of you thank you!!!!
Who’s so here for this Kristi Glow Up!!!
Africa Brooke is the bomb.
Hands down these are my favorite type of videos! I hope you do these more and more.
Kristi, if you haven’t finished the sneakers, get yourself a thimble and or upholstery needles. These two items will save your fingers and speed up your craft!
Upholstery needles, I knew that was a thing, but I've never sought them out.
You were my favorite youtuber in 2019 and you're my favorite youtuber today. I love your content no matter what its about because I'm really just here for kristi content!
Thimble my lady, save your fingers.
On a kind of related note, get a good thimble so that you can push the needle through the canvas without destroying your finger.
The health insurance issue in america is truely disgusting. srry not srry. how is it even possible people still live there i ask myself (i would move) and than i realize most people dont even have the financial ability to move! (i could not either) imagine you are stuck with a system like that for life. i swear all humans should be on the streets demonstrating,striking and refuse working till the few rich stop exploiting humans. cause obviously these f* are monsters.
I LOVE these artsy videos ! Please more of this content 😍🥰
General Practitioners in South Africa cost around $20-$30 dollars and all GPs can manage common chronic diseases like hypertension and diabetes. A vial of insulin will cost around $10-$15 and there are plenty of generics that brings cost down. We have a large lower class community that can't afford medical aid/health insurance, so we have a large public health system where medications are free. Unfortunately, not all the facilities are the same in terms of quality of care, but the service exists. Long queuing times is a given on the day but they do prioritise the elderly.
Lovely. Bless you for being you.
I love when RawBeautyKristi shares DeepBeautyKristi with us. 🤗🤗
Motherly advice 😘: You could stich the outlines and paint the rest?
Try a metal thimble or a rubber one they are life savers
Having conversations, and agreeing to disagree=adulthood.
Kristi! I’m currently reading ‘Let This Radicalize You’ (I know, provocative title) by Kelly Hayes and Mariame Kaba, and it’s breathed so much hope and encouragement back into my spirit for creating a better world, outside the stuffy, brittle two-party set-up that you’re also done with. Super hopeful book that sparks my own creativity! ❤
I deal with PCOS which causes so many problems, namely insulin resistance, weight gain, acne, fatigue, and excess body hair. You know, all the "fun stuff"! I still have to keep going and providing for my 3 (miracle) children because my Ex lives off of DISABILITY and can barely provide for himself. I am so worn down. I am b-e-a-t. Did I mention that I'm also a ft teacher and college student. Yahhhhhhh. 😅
I laughed so hard with the close up of “my opinion” 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣. I know you were making a serious point but I laughed so hard!
We are the same during summer in AZ with screen time. It’s killer. I cap the kids to 1 hour in the morning and evening. But it’s tough when it’s 115 degrees out.
1:29 Dang, girl! 😮 You go hard! Respect your talent so much! ❤
You basically have to destroy your body to get good insurance. My husband is retired military. I had to have surgery in 2021 and through the whole journey my medical bills totaled over $60K, but I only paid out of pocket maybe $1500 or so of it... So, amazing insurance, but my husbands body was the cost
I truly don't know how people survive in the US financially
Love deep chats and honest opinions ❤
I know health insurance is not good for most of america, but i didn't know it was that bad (i live here in the u.s) but my husband's work has Centivo insurance and his is $600-700 a month for our family but its a zero deductible plan. And they seem to cover quite a lot. So this probably doesn't help many people but Centivo seems to be decent although i think its pretty new
omg Kristi! Wow..those shoes are the absolute cutest and sweetest gift you could give her! She's gonna melt
Pleeeeeease make an infertility video! I'm in the thick of grief after just closing the chapter. Treatment was way too hard on my mental health and I'm just done
I love those shoes. What a beautiful thing to do for someone ❤
I know someone who has diagnosed with breast cancer later in the year, like October or something. Reached her out of pocket max in December and then had do meet it again once the year reset with no help from insurance.
RE: the stricter FDA regulations, I think this question is referring to the raw-milk movement currently going on (at least near me, in texas). Conservative legislators are trying to make raw milk more accessible. Citizens believe it is more nutritious and tastes better (which may be true, but only marginally), but it is proven to be unsafe.
It cures my husbands ulcerative colitis…so for us the benefits outweigh the small risk.
It cured my husbands allergies. Also, there is more risk of food born illness from deli meat than raw milk from a farm that cleans their equipment and cows properly.
Thank you!
It's all about who is the better actor or who looks a certain way!
No trust in any of them whatsoever.
OMG, those shoes are absolutely adorable!
My former insurance policy was $1200/month with deductive and out of pocket of $30,000. My employer paid the premium as part of my benefits but it made having chronic and auto immune issues hell. I paid for everything and avoided treatment for a lot of issues.
Enjoyed this video and couldnt agree more. Im done biting my tongue to protect peoples feelings. The truth is the truth there is no "Your truth" or "my truth"
As Believers we know who wins in the end🙌🏼🙌🏼
“I spent it on enchiladas.” I felt that.
Have you thought about moving to another country? Not just Canada but any country. Just a proud Canadian asking? Love your videos more so now than when you were just a Beauty Guru, and loved those videos. I just mean your lifestyle now is more where I am now too. ❤
My sister moved to Germany many years ago. It is cheaper for me to go over there to get an ultrasound on my hand then it was here in the u.s. i paid 20 euros without insurance. She always comments that she is so happy she is in Germany and not here
Healthcare availability is high on my priority list. My adult son with Epilepsy wouldn’t be here without healthcare.
I would LOVE a grief video! I have lost my uncle, both my grandparents on my mom and dad’s side, all by the age of 25.
For getting into community...have you considered becoming apart of a non profit board of directors?? I think that you're the perfect type of person for that type of position!
Good idea, I agree!
Of course I started this right as my last client came in. 😂❤ TONIGHT. YOU.
Raw Opinions Kristi Cuz you ROK.
They will be one of akind...Good job...Such a thoughtful lady you are... Highest regards to you and yours... Happy holidays 🎄🎁💛👼❤️🌎❤️
Girl!! I’m an old old fan and I’ve been wanting to get into embroidery ( I’m a knitter) so I love this comet thank you! It’s an easy yes yes.
I so appreciate speaking to how different environments shape peoples opinions, and values.
If you live with totally different conditions, what makes your life more beautiful, harmonious, and safe will be very different from another person in a different region. Its exhausting the judgment from people who have no knowledge of a people's region, the ideologies, the culture, looking from the outside, and don't experience the consequences of their values/rules/norms being imposed on people with different needs. I.e. like being a pacifist when you live in a homogenous region, with no religious extremism, and financial stability, like okay bro, just let your family be slaughtered.
The thing with medical insurance, it's not perfect in other countries. I live in Europe, lived in few other parts of the world , and I know flaws... But, if you are paying this amount of money every month you would expect to have perfect serv, full coverage, great conditions... I have additional private medical insurance (additional to the state one) paying 25 EUR per month, gives me access to private hospitals, with 50 per month I would have everything!
