drat, if you're desperate enough to commit a crime for a meal then you're really at the end of your rope. It almost makes me think that since we "can't afford" decent security for our elders or unemployable we could pay them a kind of basic subsistence income. Wait, we still can't afford that so how about a lovely almost-prison where you are abused and not allowed to talk for most of the day but you don't have to commit a crime, just sign over your reverse-mortgage or pension rights. A privatized business could probably make some profit off of that as long as there are generous tax offsets.

Fuzzy McDoom posted:https://www.bbc.com/news/stories-47033704 That's misleading. The problem is just that poverty in people over 65 is getting worse so more are having to commit crimes, it's not that people are doing it because they want to be imprisoned to live rent free.

the article also said that a big part of at least one of those pensioner's motivation for endless megacrime was that being in the slammer was way less lonely then living alone and never seeing his family.

Coolness Averted posted:We're past the point of that now, and that's being treated like ghost credit. gently caress em. My only social media is a Facebook account, which is completely off limits to anyone not on my friends list. It's basically 99% metal talk and 1% dunking on my friends when they post stupid poo poo, anyway. Utterly irrelevant for any corporate lich, because I say so. If an employer or anyone else requires me to have a social media presence that's visible to them, they can go gently caress themselves. I'm not playing their stupid-rear end game. If that means having to live without loans, or with worse insurance rates, I will do that. KozmoNaut has issued a correction as of 14:09 on Feb 3, 2019 |

I'm at the hospital right now visiting my grandma. I'm overhearing a conversation between a doctor and a patient who's had something happen that caused paralysis on one side of her face. The patient is insisting it's an ear infection. The doctor is saying none of the tests indicate that, and they need her to stay until they figure it out. The patient just keeps rebutting this by saying but I'm a single mom with two kids, and I don't have any paid time off... God drat this loving country

I always find it ironic when people with an NHS try to call Americans that want socialized medicine commies. It sometimes gets into a discussion about semantics about how the NHS isn't "socialism" even though socialized medicine is an Americanism that doesn't even mean the hospitals are owned by the state. Other than the fact that private healthcare in the US is used as a cudgel by employers who want a complainant workforce, I wonder if the increased costs are worth it. It seems like healthcare is getting to an unsustainable level even for employers, and I'd think they'd be the first to push for a universal healthcare.

Real Estate, Health Insurance can endlessly inflate cost-of-living and per-employee overhead. Employers are assed to keep up through wages/compensation. UHC, Vienna-style Public Housing would save the average employer a lot of money.

You see universal healthcare would be bad because you would have to wait weeks to get into a doctor for free Unlike my current doctor where if I need an appointment I have to call and wait a few weeks and then pay $$$ And I don't know how it works over in countries with it but when I got my work insurance I had to find a new Primary Care Provider. The closest one to me had one doctor there accepting clients and they had to run my insurance and check out some other things (no idea what) before I was told a week later that they would see me as a patient. Also they have a sign that they are not accepting Medicaid patients so gently caress you if the government is footing the bill they don't want you there.

US healthcare is just a mess in general. Part of the problem is that almost all of the national dialogue about it is simply "who is going to pay for it". But who is paying for it is just as important why the costs are so out of control. Switching to single payer would be good but won't remove the fact that our healthcare system is rotten to the core with intentionally inflated costs, predatory and deceptive practices, and a healthy dose of fraud.

Well, having a single payer negotiating on behalf of the entire US market could provide some leverage on pharma pricing, if nothing else.
