Son of Rodney posted:I've never actually heard a definite answer to the following question: do people actually die when they need treatment and can't afford it? I mean, do doctors in america actually tell someone "there's a pill you can take / there's an operation we can do, but you're not insured, you need to go"? Because I've seen that in countless movies and it always seemed like something far-fetched that writers use to insert a bit of tension. The answer, at least from a few personal anecdotes, I yes

That's actually very christian then, since jesus also healed the sick and told people to give away their wealth. What a good and god-fearing system.

I didn't, but you just taught me that Joseph McCarthy's chief Counsel during the red scare later defended Donald Weed-Em-Out Trump when the Justice Department sued him for color coding rental applications, the same thing his dad was doing when Woodie Guthrie wrote "Old Man Trump".

Guys I swear, the modern Neoconservative movement TOTALLY isn't just a bunch of 4channers shitposting from their grandmothers' basement: And by no means are these same people led by a disgraced, cuckolded WoW gold farmer who decided to capitalize on them. No sir. (Tag me I'm grandma's cat clock on the left)

FAGGY CLAUSE posted:Should I really give a poo poo what happens to obamacare? I have no problem paying a little more in taxes so everyone could get good healthcare (in theory), but if poor and rich white people want to kill it then gently caress em. Bad healthcare = population in poorer health and this is directly seen in consequential effects to workforce productivity, GDP, and a few other pretty important areas. So if nothing else from a purely sociopathic point of view it behooves us all to have a healthy productive workforce but you know that requires some long term thinking and not immediate handouts to insurance companies.

Life threatening emergencies don't get turned away, but say you walk in with a massive tooth infection that has you in constant pain. All they can give you are painkillers and antibiotics. Any long term treatment they can't do. The documentary The Waiting Room was really good at showing why and how people end up in an Emergency Room.

McCain is a genuinely evil oval office. He doesn't need the lobbyist money or favors anymore and he doesn't have to worry about re-election. The only thing he is now accountable too is his consciousness. And it tells him to vote for an historically unpopular law that will massively decrease the quality of healthcare in the country, increase healthcare costs and all in exchange for minor tax cuts for the rich. He is sacrificing the wellbeing, productivity and future of the country out of loving sadism.

Warm und Fuzzy posted:Losing Medicaid will hurt once everyone realizes their baby boomer parents have no savings and they suddenly become expensively sick. I mean, this is the world they want to live in. It'd be cruel to not let our parents enjoy the full fruits of their voting record. It'll suck for anyone whose folks DON'T do McCain impersonations each year in the voting booths, but I dunno anyone like that, so whatever.
