Why is it so easy to feel sympathy for John Boehner? He was a dick. Frequently. But I can't help but want to believe he's happier these days.

Boehner is a little orange creature that constantly looks like he's on the verge of tears, which pretty much makes him a sympathetic cartoon alien.

You could easily slot him into a cheap mid-90s E.T. ripoff called Speaker, about a little alien named Speaker who loves Jack in the Box and R.C. Cola and teaches four kids a lesson about branding.

On the chest of a barmaid in Sale, were tattooed the prices of ale. And on her behind for the sake of the blind, was the same information in braille.
So I subscribed to the print edition of Jacaobin, on the back of the current issue is the following:

Health update:

Just went to see the dentist because my wisdom tooth is hurting, this cost €0.

The dentist says my wisdom tooth is hosed up and my poo poo is inflamed, so we made an appointment for next week with the jaw surgeon to remove it, this will cost €0.

Then the dentist prescribed me some antibiotics that i need to take for a week, plus 50 tablets of ibuprofen 600. I picked those up at the farmacy, this cost me €10 :(

quote:

So why are less educated whites poisoning themselves to death with drugs, alcohol and sugar? They outline a process of cumulative deprivation beginning after the 1970s that is rooted in the steady deterioration in job opportunities for people with low education. Men with less economic prospects became less marriageable resulting in single-motherhood becoming the norm. Declining economic opportunities also coincided with the erosion of traditional community structures that provided meaning and stabilty for many poor folks. Case and Deaton cite data suggesting that "half of the men who are out of the labor force are taking pain medication, and two thirds of those take prescription painkiller, such as opioids."

Q: What about stripping Essential Health Benefits?

A: This is good because it lets states decide and many already require EHBs!

Q: Um ok, so what about states that don't require something like maternity coverage, what are you supposed to do? Move?

A: No, Change it! Make a change to your state legislature.

LOL. I still can't believe if this passes it won't affect blue states nearly as much, and will make red states into blighted lands of misery and disease like something out of Monty Python.

You mean for healthcare? Yes, health insurance is mandatory and shared between employee and employer. If you dont work, i.e. receive unemployment benefits, it's free.

(This is in Berlin btw, although I'm not German. Thank u EU)

edit: the insurance amount is a percentage of your income btw, about 8%
