Angela Lansbury would hire actors about to lose SAG health insurance for the weekly guest spots on Murder, She Wrote for just this reason. She was a real one.

Now picture the massive amount of people that aren't famous and living off residuals.

I've seen several predictions of how many people will be affected next year and I think it's going to be a lot more than any I've seen. You have to work or volunteer enough hours but then not make too much money. It seems designed to drop as many people as possible.

It's designed to torture and kill as many people as possible without legally committing homicide.

But we need a carrot and stick to make the already ludicrously wealthy people even more wealthy by continuing the trend of ever increasing profit margins!

Was just reading that ever increasing numbers of people can't afford their marketplace plans and have been dropping them. So then when those uninsured people need critical care, the burden is going to be on the hospitals which won't get paid.
We're likely to see some hospitals go under from all this. Some rural hospitals already have been due to some previous Medicaid cuts.
Could be a hit to some profit margins.
At this point it seems like we either need to get rid of medical insurance so that the prices go down. Or do Medicaid for all.

We also need to make sure private equity firms don’t just buy up all the at risk hospitals and sell them off for parts as the transition happens.

And we are giving Israel a handout that is larger than we are predicted to "save" with these cuts. Not to mention all the money we are spending in this Iran shitshow... Fuck this country sucks...

And the premiums for people who do have it are going through the roof.
I've seen instances where unions are threatening to strike because their premiums are set to go up by something like 34% in January

And why is this accepted? I dont get Americans, ehy aren't you in the street all day, every day? Paralize the country until you get rid of the parasites

Once you see that even a single slice of America is a scam, you realize it’s a scam from end to end. Insurance, taxes, corporations, charities, illegal online casinos, illegal taxi services, illegal rental services—it’s just fucking endless. America is one giant prison used to extract as much wealth from its population, while actively stripping them of every single benefit.

And disgusting Americans still fly the flag like it's something to be proud of. We should be burning the flag in the fucking streets and punching anyone that still dares to fly it

You've got to remember that these are just simple farmers. These are people of the land. The common clay of the new West. You know... morons.

In my neighborhood they would put up small American flags along the street curb. I happily picked them up and threw them on the busy street. It was nice to see Americans not giving a fuck and running over a ton of flags that were dumped there. 😂😂

There’s a realtor that puts them in everyone’s yard around 4th of July with his business card on them. My yard is always the first one to lose the flag, as well as one house a couple doors down.

Unless they're flying it upside down. Or while it's burning.

Let's consider that not flying, but hanging 😂

I know, it's sad and all but as a non-american, I cannot hear it anymore. Your healthcare is a shitshow, we've known that for years (decades?). I think every single american knows that too by now. How ist that news?
