It's pretty great that you're better off, in some cases, being poor and working less so you fall under the financial bracket for free healthcare.



I remember one place I worked offered healthcare.

I've had socialized medicine since birth. I think it was called Champus until I was 15 or 16 and it became TRICare. I've had TRICare Prime or its pre-TRICare equivalent my whole life since I went from my dads TRICare to my own. Then when they retired me I elected to keep TRICare since gently caress the VA.

Now that I think about it I'm gonna have lived under a completely socialized system of living inside the Mecca of capitalism for my entire life when it's all said and done.

Suck a dick you goddamned EU Faglords, our socialism loving rules and involves killing Browns. Our young pussies get stuck in the hunger games we call the lower class college grad under debt unemployed servant life, and our young warriors are awash in pocket money, prescription narcotics, access to government subsidized booze, and all kinds of forgotten sexual assault prevention training. When they're done with that a spot at the front of the line for all federal jobs await them.

My theory is that America figured out socializing the well being of vets was way cheaper than defending against veterans once they are organized and desperately hungry broke and angry.

That's why so many homeless vets are also minorities. You can't expect the descendants of the slower West Africans to suddenly get their poo poo together and organize a movement. The black panthers tried and peep that success story. So far the Crips and Bloods are the most organized group of afroamerican this side of the 2008 presidential campaign, and loving Selma. So by integrating the services we lowered our overall social costs of war as the chappies are easy to eliminate from the benefit system for felony blackness. Think about it.

It doesn't take a poo poo ton of cash to keep the dumbest and must retarded vets happy enough to only be a threat to themselves- that's why Tinnitus is so automatic. It's the unspoken socialism contract we have with vets in this country. You get smokes and booze subsidization for life just for never becoming a felon after you leave service. That's enough socialism to keep most vets happy, honestly. Especially with a good chunk thinking that any money from the gubmint is a hand out. And I mean a GOOD chunk.. There are other vet dudes I know though that will go homeless before taking a government check. (Mental illness is a motherfucker, but this is also an attitude that's in just about all vets to some degree at one point or another.)

Weird that you guys are talking about healthcare. I need an adult.

Dug a little black dot out of my shoulder a few days ago and now I've got a giant pink/red mound growing out of there. Lots of pressure. Would love to get it lanced, scraped, and packed. Do I:

- Go to the campus health center
- Drop into a ER somewhere and find out if Obama's got my back (I enrolled in something last year, no idea if I needed to renew it this year)
- Go to the VA. I don't think I'm enrolled. Gonna do that but I guess it takes a week or so to process?

Other than a Navy O cupping my balls at MEPS or corpsmen digging pus out of my body I haven't been to a "doctor" in over a decade. No idea how this works.

Iirc it's like a $50 copay for VA ER unless you're super disabled, then it's free. It's hard to beat.

My healthcare costs more than doubled with ACA, for MUCH shittier coverage. Premiums went up roughly 120%, total out of pocket nearly tripled, fewer choices with doctors, I now NEED a recommendation before I can see a specialist. Apparently I was right on the cusp of age/income where everything got significantly worse. We need single payer, but holy dog gently caress what a horrible implementation.

Well back when Paul Tibbets was going by the name "Dimples" on Radio Free Hiroshima, a Japanese nominal was sixteen thousand tons of somewhat radioactive tri-nitro-glycerin equivalency explosive force, plus or minus two thousand tons.

Lets never forget to remember that we once had to nuke these things to keep them on their island, and to keep them from wiping out the entire human race.

I, for one, will never be excited for advances in any Japanese rocket anything. I'd rather see the Ho Chi Min Space Port launching SSTO space tourists and nano-sats / suborbital anti personnel mines and bomblets on Cambodia, Laos, and China regularly instead of Japanase space based anything.

Just not a big fan of Japan, that's all.
