Tips For Not Condemning Millions Of Americans To Sickness And Death


See if you can recall any reason besides an all-consuming sense of self-importance and knee-jerk lust for personal financial gain that might once have motivated you to seek public office.

Check whether or not a single medical professional, patient advocate, economist, or literally anyone familiar with the subject in question supports the legislation you’re about to vote in favor of.

Find the nearest mirror; look in the mirror; check to see if you are a greasy, entitled gently caress.

Even more lol because he very obviously knew exactly what he was doing and all the potential consequences and just didn't give a gently caress because the check putin cut him was big enough to make his pupils turn into dollar signs

it's a good place to live if you're capable of making a decent salary that has good benefits, which a lot of people are capable of doing. you just never really hear from them since they don't complain all that loudly

it's a lovely place to be if you're poor and live in an area without much job mobility/job options, and it happens to be those people that are so... I guess the word has to 'brainwashed', that they don't just vote against their own interests, they attack anybody that tries to give them better options. Hell, they get incredibly defensive when people try to tell them they deserve better options.

Outstanding afternoon. "I've often said there's nothing better for the inside of a man than the outside of a horse."

Hahaha I just read an article that said pretty much all of the republican congress is fighting to have obamacare removed in place of.. states being able to obtain waivers for insurers to charge whatever the gently caress they want.

What is the ideal in these people's minds? Have every single person that ever has to have medicinal treatment either be extraordinarily wealthy or die? Because I hope they realize they can't be rich old white guys if everyone that was making them money is dead.

People would rather spend more money and only have it go towards themselves than spend less and also help other people.

There is also the fear that our healthcare system might end up like Canada, where people routinely die from being unable to see doctors due to all the poors receiving free healthcare. People will start going to doctors for preventative care instead of just ending up in the ER, which is preferable.

We are literally living in a dystopian future where "waiting because there are other people also receiving treatment that may be poor" is comparable to "I just broke my ankle and now I have to mortgage my house, also my job fired me and my bank account is empty"

The funny thing is that there are already pretty long waiting times, and in all likelyhood there would be fewer ER and specialist visits if people could actually go to the doctor right after an injury or onset of disease. It'd also bring overall costs down, saving everyone even more money in the long term.
