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…
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.
Roe died at the hands of the Supreme Court and Trump based on what happened during a Republican majority. Justice approval only requires a simple Senate majority. Filibuster or no filibuster. Result would have been the same.
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.
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?
She was born October 13th, 1989. That means she’ll be 35 by the time of the election in November, not to mention before the inauguration in January (the date that actually matters). So, she’s definitely eligible.
No he’s right actually, you just have to be 35 to be president, not to get elected president. If AOC were the nominee and she won, she would definitely be president!
Her birthday is in late October. She’ll barely be 35 by the point of the election in November, but she will still be 35. So, she’d be 35 both when elected, and when inaugurated. It’s a non-issue.
Aktually, Biden may have set the precedent for Senators when he was elected for Senate at 30, being born November 20, 1942[1] and sworn in January 3, 1973[2], having turned 30 less than six weeks earlier.
Can’t elect competent accomplished geniuses because they’re young, but can elect near-death dementia patients.
Not saying AOC’s a genius, just that there are no qualifiers where a young person can lead the generation that will have to live with their consequences.
Edit: I’m not a fan of either candidate but if we were to ever have a chance of more progressive leaders then we have to vote against the regressive leaders. I’ll pinch my nose and vote for Biden so that we have a chance of presidents like AOC in the future.
My insurance company constantly tries to push me to use them, but they are so unreliable and difficult to work with. I refuse to use them again. They email me every time I pick up a prescription from a real pharmacy and I report it as spam every time.
All my prescriptions have to go through them as part of some sort of “fuck you, whatcha gonna do about it, drop dead?” process, though I technically still do get to use my choice of pharmacy in the end.
My previous insurance just wouldn’t cover any long-term prescriptions if I didn’t fill it through Caremark on a 90-day supply. It was so annoying to deal with them. My regular pharmacy is two blocks away, if there’s an issue with insurance or something, they give me a call and have generally been pro-active. Caremark would just sit on their hands until I realized it was weird I hadn’t gotten a shipping notification, only to go “Oh, yeah, when we got this prescription we specifically requested you send through us, we decided there wasn’t enough info to determine if you need it, so you need to call your doctor and tell them to call us.”
