Statistically unlikely if you're anywhere actually in the city đź« . I'm a transplant and this split based on "medical systems" is complete bullshit. The only other time I've been with an insurance sectioned off like this was when I was a student at a college with a medical school.

Some areas outside Allegheny County as well. I totally hit the lottery living in Hopewell (Beaver County) - Verizon stopped expanding FIOS at the county border, and for years my only options were 3Mb DSL or Comcast. Then like 5 years ago GoNetSpeed started offering service and I was the first install in my zip code.
$90/month for duplex 1Gb. Service has never gone out.

I see, I don't ever plan on flying or joining the military so this doesn't affect me. Thank you though for letting me know

If you can hear the exhaust fan vibrating, they should be able to attach it with vibration isolation mounts. They’re not expensive.
If it’s the actual air movement that you hear, they could attach an exhaust silencer wherever it’s venting. The silencer might be a few feet long. If there isn’t room for that, they could also use an elbow silencer. Either option should be less than $1k.

> I often appear blurry or the sound cuts out to them, especially if I’m on WiFi.
If it works fine wired, but not on wi-fi, then your wi-fi signal is the problem, not asynchronous upload bandwidth.
Don't get me wrong, the 10% upload is atrocious, but not the culprit in this case.
The last comcast 2-in-one modem I saw at a neighbors was a piece of crap. No external antenna's, signal wouldn't cover a 2 bedroom ranch. PSA - and this may be out of date - you should be able to buy your own modem and router and it will pay off in a year vs "leasing" their crap equipment for a fee every month.

If you're young enough, PA might have all the data required for real ID on file already. I'd check out PennDOT's site. They should have all the information you need on it and may even discuss if messenger services (i.e. AAA) can assist in any part.

I'd love to wake up in any large city hospital. Don't want to wake up at a small community one like the one on Natrona heights.

I’d hope to be in Presby or St. Clair and definitely wouldn’t want to be in anything AGH or OVGH or Western Psych.

That mainly means they will not accept a PA drivers license or regular ID to fly, you must carry a passport or a have RealID.
If you also have to go into a federal building that requires identification (think jail, federal reserve, etc) or onto a military base, same thing applies.

Got my husband to AGH last month, middle of the night, when he was having a stroke. Can't thank them all enough, from ER docs and staff to the ICU people and all of the doctors and nurses. The level of care and treatment there was superb, couldn't have asked for better.
MIL had several visits to Jefferson and, well, those were nightmarish. Every. Single. One.

This has already been posted and discussed multiple times. IIRC it’s over a year old.

It’s only looking at average data for the metro area, so all those dilapidated $30k houses in Homewood and McKees Rocks are included in the numbers. I assure you you’ll be paying $250-$300k minimum to live in a place you actually want to live (and that’s still far cheaper than most of the country)
-
If you could theoretically find a house for under $100k that you could move into without needing to do serious rehab, good luck using your $42k salary to afford things like food once you’ve paid for your mortgage, insurance, taxes, utilities, etc.

(Maybe) I can’t read the fine print on my phone because the image quality is terrible but I also remember from the last time it was posted these figures include something like 20% down. How you going to save up tens of thousands of dollars while living on $42k a year?
TLDR if you made $42.9k and bought the shittiest habitable house you could find you’d still only be able to pay for the house, never mind everything else you need to survive. Also the data is old.

Children’s. My daughter gets the best care there and has the best docs. If I could go there as an adult, I might actually go to the doctor.
I’d rather die than be taken to Forbes. Too much horror stories including from my own family.
Echoing Jefferson too. The way they treated my grandfather in the months before his death was disgusting.

Okay, now adjust it for the fact that some people have to make student loan payments. These are dumb for that reason alone.
