And you think a private business will do anything more than the minimum of a contract?

Nope, just broke a rib from it, yay covid

I think this leopard was a sovcit that ate her own face tbh

No fucking duh it’s political, she is an a political post, you are in a political post. Not all politics is bad, some of it is about finding a way to get the government to actually help people in need

The insurance system does not work in the medical field, it would never work because insurance is for managing risks that are unknown, like a house flooding or your car getting hit in an intersection.

In medical “insurance” it is often dealing with known issues, and the insurance system is just not set up to deal with preventative care, annual check ups, mammograms, blood tests, or pre-existing conditions. It would be like trying to use car insurance to pay for an oil change, which is just as ridiculous as it sounds in your head.

That’s exactly why the term “insurance” should be used when discussing a single payer system, it’s not really insurance, it should be a collective action group that works together with the medical community to find a middle ground where hospitals can still exist and pay wages to their staff, the people can get the medical care they need without getting thrown into poverty for daring to get sick, and the government benefits from having a healthier population as a whole.

Too bad theres way too much money in the short term in keeping this all private, and having a sicker population, so we have decades of insurance company propaganda to work against, and a huge population of people that don’t understand that by doing single payer health care your taxes would go up, but you also wouldn’t be paying out the nose for medical insurance & medical care (because they don’t cover anything). Also think of a world where your health care isn’t beholden to your employment, all the different choices you’d make in your life.

Proposals like this are exactly why corporations don’t pay much tax. They have tons of deals and situations like this that offset their profits/tax burden

Its a jeep owner cult thing

How did you miss the opportunity to use scamdisk instead?

Please tell me this is reality, getting so sick of everyone here complaining about cruz, then showing up in droves to vote him in to own the libs

It’s preying on the fact that a lot of call centers were offshored to India and other countries. That resonates well with their voting bloc

Different timescale; Average income is annual, and rent is monthly

And that makes any of what I said less true how?

He is quite literally saying that he always votes for democrats in the general election, but votes in the republican primary, which is not a real vote for office but a vote to the RNC that signals who to run in the general.

We aren’t all fortunate enough to live in a Democrat or battleground district/state, so sometimes the best you can do is try to nudge the RNC to be less crazy while still voting blue in the generals.

If there is one universal truth for US Politics, and a majority of corporations as well, is that they all woefully underpay for IT

I’ll have you know the Trump campaign mailed my father in law a whole real dollar to get him to donate $50 (or more) to their campaign.

Guess we live in some alternate dimension of IASIP where Trump paid the trolls toll…
