    This is me. I have a stable job with health insurance but I'm in a delicate place right now and taking time off even for doctor's appointments is risky. Even though they're part of the same center, my SO and my MO don't do appointments on any overlapping days, nor after work, so it's at least two separate half days off to see them. I already cancelled one appointment and not sure when/how I'm going to reschedule it. I want to take care of my health long term - but to do that I need to make sure I'm doing what I need to do to keep my health insurance. Argh.
