I have no idea what your life experiences are and free clinics don’t exist everywhere. In fact, I’ve lived in multiple places where there is no free clinic. Including South Gate, CA which is between Compton and Watts. No free clinic there. If you’re poor and sick, be prepared to walk for miles. Hope you can.
Also, free clinics generally don’t maintain people’s cancer medication, let alone give them radiation or chemotherapy.
But sure, call me a troll for talking about how expensive health care is and how inaccessible it is for the poor in the U.S. and how “good insurance” doesn’t mean shit when you have major chronic health problems which require multiple hospital visits and diagnostic work.
Your words: “Waiting for months on end for a doctor you don’t get to choose after paying 4x in taxes for them, ya! Works awesome. Ever live in Canada? I have. No thanks!” So tacitly, you did. Because you were comparing Canada’s system to the U.S. system.
There is and always has been health care for unemployed, and the poor.
Bullshit. Not everyone poor qualifies for medicaid and medicaid often won’t pay for things like cancer medications. You really don’t know what you’re talking about.
Again- I’m not poor. I have good insurance. I’m thousands of dollars in debt. In Canada, I wouldn’t be. And I’m not sure why you think I’m unusual or an exception unless you literally only talk to wealthy people. Cancer kills poor people at a far higher rate than rich people. Because they can’t get cancer care.
Let me guess, I can’t extrapolate poor people not getting cancer care and dying of cancer because of it to the entire country.
Or is it because the NRA has infiltrated police departments across the country and they know that if they don’t enforce the laws, it will be easier for people to get guns?
Do you know for a fact that it’s bad? Have you seen it? Or are you just making an assumption because it has low box office figures which you are extrapolating as meaning it’s a bad movie? It’s rated above a 6 on IMDB and above 60% on Rotten Tomatoes, so it sounds like a lot of people enjoyed it.
Yep. In order to understand this film, you have to have watched the Captain Marvel film, the Wandavision TV series and the Ms. Marvel TV series. Meaning this is basically a way to tie you down to Disney+ so you don’t miss out.
Maybe it was because I thought the examination of the American Muslim community was interesting and not something I’d really seen before, but I enjoyed it. It wasn’t the best show ever, but it was interesting. The examination of The Partition was also interesting.
Yeah, I felt like it was more about the American Muslim/Pakistani experience than it was about superheroing, which is why it probably wasn’t popular with some people like the person above. But I was fine with that because I was learning things about a culture I wasn’t very familiar with. But thinking on it, it’s kind of a departure from other Marvel stuff. A lot less action and mayhem.
The article makes it sound like they’ve had issues in the past, especially with a director who was apparently embezzling, but they’re doing their best to rectify the situation.
But, of course, they’re encouraging people to vote, so they will get taken down. Just like ACORN was. We can’t have voter advocacy groups, that would be too democratic.
Considering Shine and A Beautiful Mind both were (highly inaccurate) biopics of living people and both won Oscars, I’d say it works out if you do it right.
Why is it not a residence if you can stay there indefinitely? That sounds like a residence to me. The Internet tells me that ‘residence’ means ‘the place in which one lives; a dwelling.’ If they don’t ever have to leave, they live there.
