Balance Billing

The reason why weeks after you have any health care you get stacks of bills from the doctor, the facility, the nurse, the pharmacy, the lab, and the guy who cleans the floors every other Saturday.

Even after you've paid the stupid $20 copay.
"I went to my doctor two months ago for a sore throat and I paid my $20 copay. Now I've gotten $847 worth of extra bills for the office visit, strep test, and a shot of penicillin. The office manager told me that was how much I owe in balance billing since I haven't met my $12,000 deductible."

Balance

Balance is not moving a Confederate statue somewhere nobody will argue over it and keeping it hidden, like an ostrich head. Balance is a Martin Luther King statue here in your face, and right next to it is a Confederate statue in your face, whether you like it or not. It's not compromising everything to get along, since that's a good way to end up fucked by the people trying to get you to compromise (and lose) everything.
Balance is not always pretty or peaceful, and it isn't meant to be that way.

Shirk-life balance

The active consideration of your need to relax in relation to your work life. A failure to acknowledge your need to shirk during the working week could lead to unnatural levels of stress and taking yourself dangerously seriously. An increase in nap time while working from home could constitute a positive addition to your shirk-life balance.
