Moral of the story: get a queer woman of color to read off right wing talking points. Then CSPAM will take them seriously.

nah, anyone who contradicts the hive mind are branded traitors and end up being ignored. the tolerant left demands ideological assimilation. *marches lock-step through the street with a "safer space" agreement hoisted on a banner pole*

Sometimes I have moments of clarity where I realize that half this country votes for the party that flat out tells them, "your health coverage means less to us than giving the incredibly wealthy more tax cuts."

I think I'm one of the 5 people who actually read Trump's Day One plan to finance the wall back before the election. Absolutely no one took it seriously, including the entirety of the Trump campaign.

In rural areas pregnant women who can't afford an ultrasound or prenatal care will fake stomach pains just so they have to receive those tests.

This is of course considered a problem by republicans and not a symptom.

if everyone who gets sick dies without receiving treatment then there will be plenty of health care available for old rich white boomers, duh.

I've spent the last month working in the ER (I'm currently working a 12 hour ER shift), and a good 80-90% of visits could have been taken care of by a primary care physician or a trip to an urgent care center.

But it's not like these patients are choosing the ER over their family doctor, they just don't have/know they can see a family doctor. That, plus you don't have to pay up front for treatment like you do for PCPs.

quote:

“I was told that as a government leader, I really shouldn't talk about God. But I have to tell you, it's part of who I am,” Carson said last month, in one of his first speeches as HUD secretary.

[...]

Carson told POLITICO that policy proposals are in the works, but in public appearances the one-time presidential candidate is sticking to his stump-speech staples. He prescribes “godly principles” as a cure for the country’s political division and praises housing advocates for “putting God’s love into action.”

"Speaking of God, which I love to do, quite frankly, he’s a great guy,” Carson said on March 28, drawing friendly laughter during a speech to the National Association of Hispanic Real Estate Professionals. “We should be grateful that God gave us variety. But you know what he didn‘t give us variety in? The brain.”


With that, the secretary — an acclaimed pediatric neurosurgeon — was off and running to his other favorite subject. Housing experts brought on stage to analyze his remarks were flummoxed.

“I was trying to take notes on what he was saying about housing,” said Armando Falcon, chief executive at Falcon Capital Advisors, waving a piece of blank paper. “I could have filled a page with neurosurgery notes."

Faith groups are deeply embedded in the affordable housing firmament, which has greeted Carson’s speeches as part motivational, part sermon and part lecture. The secretary offers no apologies.

“One of the most important parts of our Constitution is freedom of religion. There’s a mistaken thinking that we’re not supposed to talk about God,” Carson told POLITICO. “Godly principles and loving your fellow man and caring about your neighbor, there’s nothing wrong with that.”

But lately, his up-by-the-bootstraps message has been falling flat with anti-poverty audiences.

“It’s a great story but it’s a dangerous message because not everybody can pull themselves up by their bootstraps,” said Maria Foscarinis, executive director of the National Law Center on Homelessness and Poverty. “Nobody does that, including Secretary Carson. He had a lot of support — his mother his family, his faith. He had a whole context of support.”

[...]

As he learns his way around the HUD bureaucracy, Carson expects to start announcing policy plans in the next 90 days. High on his list of priorities is bringing new life to a program known as Section 3, which creates local jobs when agency money is spent on a project.

“It’s been largely ignored because people say we don’t have local people who know how to weld or have plumbing skills,” Carson said in the interview. “That is true. However we do have a brain, which means we have the ability to think ahead. We know well more than a year ahead of time when we’re going to start a major project. Why not go in and train people in that area at that time so they’re ready?”

“We’re moving away from the concept of just housing people to the concept of developing people,” Carson said.


[...]

“Everybody is either going to become part of the engine or part of the load,” Carson said at an April 3 meeting of the National Low Income Housing Coalition. “We as a nation can go a lot further and a lot faster if a lot more people are part of the engine.”
