... A telling sign is what happens when you search health insurance. The lack of health insurance is a uniquely American problem among industrialized countries, one borne of the sheer go-it-alone malice of our frayed social contract. A search for the term health insurance returns over one million campaigns. Scanning through them is a brief glimpse into a maelstrom of social collapse. As Medicare For All in all the variations Democratic presidential candidates have come up withis debated on brightly lit stages, and the Trump administration fights to whittle down the Affordable Care Act in court, GoFundMe offers a close-up view of the human cost of inadequate policy. --- kin to all that throbs ...

We had a chance with Obama but the country wasn't ready yet as long as we allow that money to pass through the rich and powerful medical lobbies will just put more $ in congress' pocket. --- -Only dead fish swim with the current http://error1355.com/ce/spudger.html ...

The priest one is dumb. Dont quit your job for what is essentially a full time hobby if you cant afford it.

This stuff is crazy to see from an outsiders countries perspective.
I'm trying to think of an analogy. I guess it would be like if your employer had to pay for 'police insurance' and if you ever needed help from the police you would get hit with a hefty bill. Even that isn't comparable because I've barely had to interact with the police. Hospitals and doctors have been very important for myself and my family. It's just nuts. --- Kind Regards, Darmik ...

The priest one is dumb. Dont quit your job for what is essentially a full time hobby if you cant afford it. Yeah was just gonna say that. Being a full-time fairy tale peddler is a luxury, not a need. The system shouldn't be expected to take care of you if you want to do that. Either save the money until you can do it yourself, or ask the church to pay for it via donations (the Vatican certainly has enough money), or stick to your day job. I sympathize with some of these situations but some of them are ridiculous. I'd be interested in seeing how many of them are similarly ridiculous or a result of people's own choices throughout life. The current system definitely sucks, but let's not excuse individuals from making good choices too. Bernie's system isn't going to magically solve problems. If anything it'll cause even more GoFundMe campaigns once the tens of millions who are self-employed and/or uninsured take home 10-15 percent less income despite their paycheck to paycheck expenses remaining the same. Gonna be a lot more foreclosures and bankruptcies then. --- Do good. ... Copied to Clipboard!
