International health insurance plans range significantly in how much coverage is offered. While some plans can be practically as comprehensive as the average U.S.-based insurance plan, others provide policyholders with significantly less coverage than ACA compliance standards recommend.

How Khaleesi Became a Statistic and the Patriarchy Won

Every Game of Thrones fan has come up with their own poignant list of all the reasons they are personally disappointed in the final season of the epic series by now. And why wouldn’t you — so many of the show’s narrative arches seemed to end mid-peak with a crash into a big, icy wall of nothingness. That doesn’t mean there is nothing to appreciate about the bleak finale, though. In fact, such an anticlimactic end was one of the best ways to demonstrate how the world really works...
