so I just got kicked off my parents Tricare insurance and my college requires me to have insurance. For some reason I don’t qualify for Virginia Medicaid even though my income is well below the threshold. I’m young, I’m fit, I have no ongoing conditions and am completely unmedicated with therefore no reason to see a Doctor for anything more than the absolute minimum checkups. Lucky me. I need one year of the absolute cheapest healthcare I can find. just one year before I finish my degree and can get an actual job with healthcare. do any of you have suggestions?

Does anyone who owns the Lucerne hammer from Faits d’Armes tell me how it compares to the poleaxe head from the same company? I’m looking for a sparring safe polearm. a friend already owns the poleaxe head and we have determined it to be safe enough for our purposes but I prefer the look of the Lucerne hammer. Just looking at pictures on the website it looks denser and less flexible and I would like to know if that is true.

I know polearms are more dangerous than swords in a HEMA context, the plan is to do relatively light and controlled sparring with a small group.
