And you still pay for it through premiums, copays, and likely high deductibles. This assumes that whatever procedure you’re getting is also covered by said health insurance.
You’d probably have better luck at the roulette table in Vegas.
I’ve also heard it’s cheaper (and better) to get major dental work done in Mexico.
They are technically US citizens by birth, but they have no representation in Congress, can't vote in the US presidential election and generally have fewer rights than people born in the continental US. You could call it "taxation without representation". Second-class citizens.
But you're right, demanding to "give citizenship to Puerto Ricans" doesn't quite describe what the actual issue is.
This the bitch ass Ted Cruz that voted to hide the Epstein Files. This the bitch ass Ted Cruz who praised Trump right after Trump called his wife ugly. This the bitch ass Ted Cruz who fled to Cancun when his district lost power to blizzards.
Fat fuck trying really hard to sound like a tough mafioso gangster
Remember when during the 2021 winter storm, he worked his ass off to make sure his constituents didn't freeze to death?
If you do, you should schedule an appointment with your doctor because bitch boy here flew to Cancun to not deal with the outfall of what he was responsible for (among others). A real American hero.
If there's anything American I'd aspire nowadays, Ted Cruz is the antithesis to that. He is an opportunistic, lying fat piece of shit.

Don’t forget paying for your own healthcare unless you’re lucky enough to be covered by your employer.

Now I am even sadder and madder remembering my health insurance premium went up $300/mo.
dohpaz42@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 210d
Fuck. That makes me mad too. Seriously.
It’s like not being rich is a crime these days.

Then give citizenship to all the immigrants on the country first.
rumschlumpel@feddit.org · 20 pts · 210d
And, more topically IMO, all Puerto Ricans.
edit: full citizenship, rather than the second-class citizenship they currently have.

When did Puerto Ricans become not citizens?

Dude looks like his hobby in middle school was running head first into a wall.

He looks like when you view a 3d model skin in MS paint and it looks way too wide because it's flattened out and also it has a wolf's ass for a beard.
Dojan@pawb.social · 4 pts · 210d
Yeah. He grew up to keep doing that. Just running away from his responsibilities to his constituents.
Lost_My_Mind@lemmy.world · 5 pts · 210d
If it gets a little snowy in Texas, he'll just run to Cancun.

For me, it’s that Indian dude sitting next to him laughing in agreement instead of calling him out that I find the most shocking.

I'd love a reality show where fascists like Ted would sit on a spike and slowly slide down it for cash prizes.

You're right. Following up on proper Draculean tradition, we need to bring back the Forest of the Impaled.

Then give this gift to the people who are coming to you, not to people who don't want you there.

Unless they're black, asian, hispanic, disabled and/or female.
Bwaz@lemmy.world · 9 pts · 210d
Ah, the gift of job-tied or zero healthcare and constant anxiety about possible illness induced poverty. Gee, thanks, that'd be a great gift.
