Yup. Can't wait to die slowly thanks to an easily treatable disease. Guess I shouldn't have gotten diabetes!

Nonsense. Once costs spiral completely out of control, you'll be dying quickly.

AHA is the 4th largest lobbying group in America. AARP is top-20, and controls a lot of the info that gets out to the greyhairs. Them spiking this deal means it is a legendarily bad bill.

What the gently caress does this even mean?

"don't let the perfect be the enemy of the good" is a pretty famous phrase; he's saying they need to vote for this poo poo bill now, rather than wait for a less-poo poo (to them) bill later.

The only way to have something analogous nationally would be for the government to mandate prices for all services. Which is a thing other countries do, Japan has had success with it, but it wouldn't fly with America's brokebrains free market religious fervor.l
Maryland totally does this, though. An appendectomy costs the exact same no matter where you get it done. So it's not impossible.

It really is a shame that Alan Grayson turned out to be a huge piece of poo poo wife-beater or whatever, because his firebrand speech about the Republican Health Care plan from 2009 is really excellent.

I think the problem is that Paul Ryan was bullied for being poor as a kid, and he internalized that poor = not fit to live.

"Speaker Ryan, would you say "Work Equals Freedom" under your proposed AHCA? And would you print that on the healthcare forms, or would you use the original German?"

It kinda reminds me how people in Seattle were stuck for years and years on the idea of monorails, to the exclusion of all other grade-separated rail, for expanding public transit.
As a Seattlite, I can say that we'll be damned if we let those fuckers in Shelbyville have one and not us!

Soooooo is it off topic to ask "How do I healthcare without insurance?" if the worst happens later today.
1) Don't get sick

2) If you do get sick, die quickly

(h/t to Alan Greyson for this outline)

I'm not kidding about dying quickly, either. If you rack up a half-million dollar hospital bill, your next-of-kin will probably be on the hook for it, despite sins of the father literally being forbidden in the constitution.

Radical idea: Stop having gofundme campaigns for your one person, start buying congressmen. David Scott's corporate owners will never let Medicare for All happen, so let's buy him and end these horror stories.

In more, "You don't go to an American hospital to get better," news, a woman in a decade-long vegetative state just gave birth.

OK so an orderly or whoever took advantage of her, and that's sad, but how does the family let that pregnancy continue? Also, :nms: :cry: :nms:
