Speaking of spicy what the **** was Spicer doing at the briefing today

welcome to the 21st century, where every other first world nation supplies their citizens with basic standards of living. The entire point of government is that they supply things!

or as thinman would rather, **** the poor/disabled/olds

I think thinman would empathize with literally every villain on every episode of Dirty Money, which is a great watch for anyone who hasn't seen s1 or the new s2 yet.

its not free. have you seen how much you pay in taxes? have you seen how much Buffet or GE pays in taxes?

Healthcare is a right in a civilized society - just like basic education, roads, police, fire protection, etc. Only the USA #1 is backward in this regard.

Wait until people start getting their $200k ICU bills from this and find out their A+ rated employer provided insurance only thinks it should pay half.

So congrats! You're still are on the hook for $100k in 100s of inscrutable bills - arriving as much as a year later - from the hospital and like 79 other independent contractors who just happen to work at the hospital.

Healthcare is utterly predatory in this country - a fact right-wingers only believe when it happens to them or a loved one.

I have two friends who have had kids in the NICU. They both had insurance but were still getting bills over a year later that insurance wouldn't pay. One guy just paid the small ones. But the other guy fought everything. It was like having a second full time job for a year.

His favorite was $600 for "miscellaneous" that no one could say what it was. But they were still sure he owed it. After dozens of phone calls he finally got the state surgeon general involved. Turns out it was for a room. Not a hospital room, just an empty room that some doc used to have a 15 minute consult with him and his wife - so they could go somewhere to talk. $600 for 15 minutes of talking in a room no one was using anyway, and billed so it's impossible to tell what the charge is.

Even payday lenders are like - damn that's messed up.

ok I will be sincere. you do realize I followed Lebron and rooted for him on the Heat? like, you do realize there are many posts attesting to this and even forum slapfights about it?

but beyond that, how out of touch are you to actually think that I would not support a legit worker in the face of a billionaire elite oppressor?

Stop don’t do that

i did not. (didn't post much nba stuff before i started playing dfs). if you were in the small minority of people who didn't hate him and then immediately love him once he returned, i give you tons of props. easy to get caught up in the herd mentality, especially when you're disappointed.

Just wanted to say our healthcare system is a joke. We were literally paying like $600 a month for 12 months to the hospital for our kid’s routine birth. This is on top of the $2500 we paid the obgyn before the birth.

We also had to take our son to the ER at 7 weeks because he had a 101 fever at home. It was down by the time we got there but they still had to do a spinal tap, an IV, and fluids. We got a nice $3000 bill for all that.

The above has all just been for our son and doesn’t even take into account our doctor’s visits, dental, or vision. I would much rather pay an extra $300-400 a month in taxes and just have everything covered instead of all the copays and everything.

Yeah but you have CHOICE

he's been trowing a tantrum for a week because the bern LOST, but sure, equate it to my whole of government opinion.

such an idiot

Feel for you brother. We had a preemie but fortunate enough she stayed long enough at the hospital where automatic Medicaid kicked in. We have people in a party that are so pro life but don't do anything to help the children and their parents when they are born and situations like these arise.

I don't really understand - does no one there ever go to the hospital or know anyone that has ever went?

How many times do I have to tell you I'm Canadian and just support healthcare as a human right for you to eventually understand?

So far as I can see, there's only one person being irrational in this thread

Why do you want poor people to live? You're the worst

thin's 'whole of government opinion.'

never a more wholly useless thing in the universe

All of Trump’s press conferences with no social distancing are tilting the **** out of me. Is he legally required to have 5 people directly behind him to kiss his ass at all times?

Why is Fauci 1 foot away from him right now?

And why don’t any of these idiot reporters ever ask them about this?

good thing they decided to have all those primaries & spring break (not to mention all the ppl that then took it home with them) after it was painfully obvious how serious this thing was





let's check back in on this once the bodies start piling up...

In China if you had a fever they immediately transported you to a quarantined facility away from your family. If in America you say the media is exaggerating they should immediately put you on a flight to Iran and leave you there.

S. Korea does the same. In the US they send you home w/o a test to infect your fiancee who works for a Nursing Home.

meanwhile the man who will save the world is looking to set up some kind of livestream for monday, bc that's a real thing


they def aren't trying to hide him bc he's a ****ing disaster
it def doesn't take them like 5 days to get him presentable for 10 minutes
and he def doesn't have the rona (or def won't get it given that he's literally incapable of not groping & making out with women of any age)

nuh uh, no siree bob

thinboomers of the world still holding out hope that his plan is building a literal time machine here, and then doing the correct things with it (both highly dubious)

[30 minutes earlier!]



lololol

The best thing for the US will be Florida just getting demoed and killing its entire population

Apparently some members of my wife's family decided to fly to Cancun for vacation ON WEDNESDAY THIS WEEK

I can't fathom how half of the population manages to keep themselves alive on a daily basis, pandemic or not

"oh i'll be very careful and distance well as i drink by the pool all day & eat at the buffet 5x per"


lucky for them elective travel like that should be banned sometime between now and monday
