I get IVIG 3x / week for a primary immune deficiency I’ve had since birth. For my dosage, it’s billed weekly at a rate of ~$32K of which my insurance company pays around ~$3K.
I hit my max out of pocket the first month of each year and the rest of the year is “free.”
I know that all the IVIG pharmaceutical companies offer a “I can’t afford this” option if you’re going out of pocket.
Good luck, it’s stressful to get but it’s a miracle blood product for those who need it.
Who says they can't see the URL? A sufficiently motivate government would probably be able to create forged certificates and mass interception isn't really out of the question. Especially with browsers homogenizing on fast ciphers AES-GCM/POLY-1305, I bet it's much more economical than you would think.
Cert Pinning or HPKP is one type of solution, but it's tricky to get right especially for a large site like wikipedia.
I find it impossible to replace a legacy system without first understanding the legacy system. It's easy to say "X is old" or "X sucks at Y" but keep in mind that applications have a strong survivor bias. Ask yourself, "what does X do that is awesome" or "how has X lived this long" and you'll find a lot of hidden scars and requirements.
Start documenting those requirements and create a plan to map those to technologies that you prefer. Understanding how to successfully migrate platforms is a learned skill, and it's going to become useful again when React is no longer en vogue.
