AOC seems to signal boost her fellow freshmen Progressives a lot and I really respect that about her. They seem to stick together which is really nice to see and is probably quite frightening to the stooges in Congress lol

She and her fellow freshmen such goddamn rockstars and it fills me with hope. They are looking out for each other and I suspect Pelosi is choosing to ally with them over the Blue Dogs. Which could be interesting considering we get another House Election in 2020 and the number of progressives stands to get even larger. The winds of change are a-blowing. Get in or get the gently caress out.

I mean, I would rather ally with the faction that has a future that won't stab me in the back with a smile.

I am aware. I am just noting the more concrete alliance she appears to have with the Freshmen Progressives judging by their committee assignments. Normally Freshmen are given the bottom of the barrel committee assignments and it appears that this time...things are a little different.

I have never understood the Pelosi hatred and am very aware of her history. I am just noting that she is seeing the writing on the wall and elevating the freshmen and hopefully taking them under her wing with Barbara Lee. Didn't mean to make my post imply otherwise.

I just moved from the UK, where I had NHS + private insurance, to Switzerland. Lots of people have told me the Swiss healthcare system is excellent, but I can't completely agree. Also for reference I worked in the NHS for about a decade.

The cost in CH is really high, fortunately my employer covers most of mine but the total premium is about 1000Fr per month (1Fr = 1USD). Accident insurance is a different thing on top of that. Compared to the UK, hard to tell the actual full cost as its invisible, but my private cover was £49/mth for essentially immediate access to whatever specialist I wanted, and the docs in London are some of the best around.

It is almost impossible to get a primary care doctor as Swiss medical schools aren't qualifying enough, it's a minimum 6 week wait everywhere I've tried. In London it's a bit of a pain but I could always see my GP the same day if I called up in the morning.

I broke my leg a few weeks back the first doctor I saw was both an rear end in a top hat and missed the fracture and sent me home with paracetamol. I know this can happen whenever and isn't "the system", but it was still no fun. Surgery in a public hospital which was the same as wherever else. Think it's gone OK.

On top of all the insurance costs I am still paying for my prescriptions at the moment. UK cost is £110 for however many you need for the year.

Where are you in CH? Cause 1k/month is like 2.5 times what I pay...near Zurich. It might be that you have to pay more as foreigner/maybe temp? Or you're private (like single room in hospital) instead of public?
Also I never have to wait more than like 3 days or so for a doctor's appointment and most time that's cause of my inflexibility.
For the rest I agree that it's still too complicated/expensive.

Republicans have literally no idea how to deal with a Democrat who actually fights back.

They are used to an environment where they can say things then deny the Democrat any coverage of their response. Democrats have been trying to punch back for a while, it is just that they at best get a "both sides, truth in he middle" treatment midway down an article which lead with the Republican smear.

Republicans have no idea how to handle things when people and the media are more excited about watching their target retaliate than the GOP attack.

Vice did a 4 part documentary about Katie Hill and it is fascinating. It starts all the way back with her attempting to become the nominee for the Democratic party and ends on election night in November where she flipped a seat.

Each episode is about 25 minutes but if you love the behind the scenes politics look this is worth your time

Bullies have no frame of reference of how to react when the bullied fight back. They just keep bullying harder to try to beat them into submission. The core truth of the bully is that they are dim, intractable, and get by on animal cunning. Any divergence from the pattern of behavior they are used to throws them into the deep end so they start flailing.

It's the company policy so I don't pay most of it myself, yeah private room and all that stuff. I have dental insurance and.. something else on top of that.

I'm sure it's easier for repeat appointments but it's getting on the books of a good family doc that seems impossible.

Maybe! I just read an op-ed in the NYT stating that American Capitalism is broken and is advocating for Warren and Lujan’s bill for making 40% of the corporate boards of each company elected by employees (IMO It should be 60%, with 40% elected by shareholders but whatever). I kinda like the way the winds have changed, now to hope they stay this way and this isn’t just a temporary thing.

They will only stay that way if liberals get complacent and rest on their laurels. Vigilance is the only antidote to fascism, racism, sexism creep on our government. There can be no rest for ours is the long watch. That is our job as citizens. The Sword of Damocles must forever hang above those in power and it is our duty to cut the horsehair when we spot shady poo poo going down.
