Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

Oh dear god, You mean I'd finally have coverage, like an actual first world nation, to get my hereditary issues looked at, and treated?
DEAR GOD, THE INHUMANITY OF IT ALL.
She's going to give you the bad health care. The kind that the foreigners and the blah people get. You're not going to receive the special elite luxury care. You're going to get the same care as everyone else.
It was always a war cry for the elites. “You won’t be able to buy superior healthcare anymore. You’ll have to wait like the rest of the plebs”.
We already have ridiculous wait times. I got told by my doctor that I couldn’t reschedule my appointment because it was booked out 2 months. I had to reschedule because the office was closed for a week due to a fucking Hurricane.
And lets not even start about the state of seeing either specialists or especially mental healthcare.
Brain is acting funny and flooding you with feel-bad chemicals every day and it's impacting your life to the degree that some days you don't even want to live in a constant state of despair for no reason? "Sorry, that will be three months to see a psychiatrist, try thinking positive and taking walks!"
You mean like medicare/medicaid?
I know people on both, they get fantastic healthcare.
Its a lot better than the big bowl of fuckall nothing I got now.
The conservative theory is that Medicaid is shit and will kill your mum.
Medicare is gold, but it only works if we ration it for Boomers exclusively.
If you "steal" private health insurance to pay for Medicaid, you're basically murdering people. If you open the doors to Medicare, you'll use up all the good medicine and "swamp the boat" as it were, ruining it for everyone currently on the plan.
Obviously, you don't need health care. You just need better bootstraps and a stronger pull.
