I have never had anything close to even a mildly irritated esophagus because. Was she drinking like a quart of apple cider vinegar three times a week? She said a bottle a day, to be honest I dont even know if I believe her I think she was looking for attention and just ran with something I said.

left wing messaging is actually pretty simple. for example: medicare for all = all mental, physical, and dental health free, paid for by taxes, full stop. end the wars, full stop. liberal centrist messaging on the hand is overly complicated to hide the fact that it's also ghoulishly evil too, or at least so absolutely minimally beneficial to regular people in order to lessen its impact on the rulling class. hillary's 18 point plan for 823 different issues, also how when liberals pay lip service to medicare for all they sneak in "access" and "affordable," indicating that they will make it another complicated nightmare that does almost nothing like ACA.

Doctors in america also have it pretty bad too in the same way. Not enough trained professionals and too much workload on those that do. If your a med student you basically work 24-hour shifts for several days, increasing the number of mistakes.

qkkl posted:The purpose of allowing companies to make a profit would be to give an incentive for future companies to develop new drugs. Even if the R&D is funded by the government it would still be good to give those researchers who receive the government funds an incentive to work hard. A researcher would work harder on developing the cure for cancer if they knew that they would be a billionaire if they succeeded, as opposed to just receiving their government funded salary. on the other hand, Jonas Salk, Mr. "As well patent the sun" .

That's called short-term disability insurance and you can buy it separately from your insurance provider for a low low monthly fee!

babypolis posted:thats a brain disease thats mostly common in the politcal class. regular human beings dont operate like that People who watch fox news sure do, or at least my relatives sure do. You can tell them something completely factual, even tell them where they can check it for themselves, and they interpret it as an opinion and come back with some unrelated "fact" to "balance" it. Like back when obamacare's website was falling apart I mentioned the way the UK handled web stuff was to have one group build the site and then only turn it over to contractors to run instead of having 80 different contractors build it without ever talking to each other, and to "balance" this fact they had to add "yeah but they have really long wait times to see a doctor!" I'm real glad they moved to another state so we don't have to have thanksgiving with them anymore

Len posted:I asked a friend who gets that mythical thing called sick time what it's like once. His answer was "I get 5 a year and I've used 4 because getting up on Mondays is rough" This is where I get to be all European and say that sick time here is basically unlimited and 25+ days holiday in a fulltime job is the norm in any sort of office job. Hell, if it's under a few days you don't need a doctors cert, and even over that I've never been asked for one for anything less than a fortnight.
