Angela Lansbury would hire actors about to lose SAG health insurance for the weekly guest spots on Murder, She Wrote for just this reason. She was a real one.
Thank you. This made me happy to hear
Once you see that even a single slice of America is a scam, you realize it’s a scam from end to end. Insurance, taxes, corporations, charities, illegal online casinos, illegal taxi services, illegal rental services—it’s just fucking endless. America is one giant prison used to extract as much wealth from its population, while actively stripping them of every single benefit.
Now picture the massive amount of people that aren't famous and living off residuals.
I've seen several predictions of how many people will be affected next year and I think it's going to be a lot more than any I've seen. You have to work or volunteer enough hours but then not make too much money. It seems designed to drop as many people as possible.
It's designed to torture and kill as many people as possible without legally committing homicide.
But we need a carrot and stick to make the already ludicrously wealthy people even more wealthy by continuing the trend of ever increasing profit margins!
Was just reading that ever increasing numbers of people can't afford their marketplace plans and have been dropping them. So then when those uninsured people need critical care, the burden is going to be on the hospitals which won't get paid.
We're likely to see some hospitals go under from all this. Some rural hospitals already have been due to some previous Medicaid cuts.
Could be a hit to some profit margins.
At this point it seems like we either need to get rid of medical insurance so that the prices go down. Or do Medicaid for all.
We also need to make sure private equity firms don’t just buy up all the at risk hospitals and sell them off for parts as the transition happens.
And we are giving Israel a handout that is larger than we are predicted to "save" with these cuts. Not to mention all the money we are spending in this Iran shitshow... Fuck this country sucks...
And the premiums for people who do have it are going through the roof.
I've seen instances where unions are threatening to strike because their premiums are set to go up by something like 34% in January
....
And why is this accepted? I dont get Americans, ehy aren't you in the street all day, every day? Paralize the country until you get rid of the parasites
Fixing this, is the whole point of Medicare for All
The guy from Dawson Creek, James Van Der Beek, had to sell his shit for medical costs and it still took all of it. His family was relying on GoFundMe.
Healthcare but only if you are rich enough to pay for it on your own. Such a great union.
