Ocasio-Cortez: State of US health care is ‘barbarism’
We don't have a healthcare system in the US, we have an insurance racket.
but hey, at least we can sell human killing devices the world over!
that budget never seems to get cut
America always finds a way to pay for more bombs and death.
Basic healthcare for our own? Sorry, the senate parliamentarian says the shareholders won’t have it. Maybe Vote harder next time sweetie!
These things are unrelated.
funny, they both seem to have the same funding source.
For those unfamiliar with Pharmacy Benefit Managers (PBM), and feel like getting angry, this is a well informed and well written article.
Fucking Express Scripts
So much of my life wasted fighting those absolute fucks
As someone who has lived in Europe for many years, the healthcare system is one of my least favorite things about the US. Absolute trash. But many people keep voting for candidates who don't want change, so no change it is.

Candidates who want change are rare.
It's weird because most hate it. I remember when Michael Moore's movie came out and even those in red states were gathering together to say that if we let this go on then we're complicit!
Then I think I remember Fox News and the right-wing going on a blitz. "Death Panels" and shit

Look at this disinformation campaign. This is what pisses me off about this "both sides" bullshit. Also, whenever any comedian jerks themselves off about speaking the truth and being philosophers going off on woke when they shut their mouths about shit like this.
“Death Panels” and shit
That was honestly the part that pissed me off the most about that whole discourse, mainly because we already had death panels and they were regularly sentencing people to death in order to save money.
They were called insurance companies, and they were able to drop your coverage and sentence you to death because you can't afford to pay to stay alive.
Russia has universal healthcare. Russia. Wtf America? Why aren't you on the streets demanding it as hard as you demand things for people in other countries?
Because if we're in the streets, we aren't working. Which means we die because there's zero social safety net.
I made about $3,000 more last year than the year before, so now I have a little under 30 days to use literally all the healthcare related things I can before I lose government insurance.
My yearly medical costs are higher than $3,000 but not enough to justify getting insurance.
So now I get to lose money because I made more money, Unlike all those fuckwads who blather on about how they're paying more in taxes now than their raise was...
"Healthcare" implies it's something useful and available.
It is "luxury health". If you can't pay, you don't stay.
Wish they would just say that instead of all this other abstract nonsense like health-care.
