Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. 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:

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. 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!

What they want is now dead millionaires and billionaire is what I'm hearing with this greedy shit.

I hope all those old Nazi magas that voted for nazis will suffer the most and can't afford their meds.

Edit: cause I'm not clear enough. :(

Do you think rich people are on medicare?

[–] not_that_guy05 22 points 1 week ago (1 children)

No, but the poor Nazis that voted for trump are.

The other statement is searchlight signaling for disposal.

Your original comment is very confusing.

My bad I'll edit for better understanding. I can only shit and type so fast. :(

Speaking from personal experience, you might be surprised at just how far up the economic ladder medicare goes. Not billionaires, but certainly millionaires. Why spend money on dumb doctors when YOUR'RE obviously healthy as an ox. YOU'RE never going to get sick. YOU are a demi-god in their prime. It's like when people complain about COBRA being it expensive. It was always that expensive, you're just paying it now. There are a lot of people with multiple homes financial advisors' include medicare as part of that planning.

Nope, but I think the Luigis of the world are (or should be through disability qualifications)

No, they're on a plane to Tijuana where the good surgical spas and cheap meds are.

A good friend went there for a gastro-intestinal repair that was deemed non-critical by her domestic provider.

The reps meet you at the airport and take you to their spa which has armed guards. You're in surgery and the recuperate for 7 days onsite or more. Then you fly home.

In all, it costs way, way, way less, even with airfare, than a local doc. And it's well-regarded.

Folks who voted for him will find some way to rationalize this, just as they have everything else he's done.

His weird little cult of fanatics sure as fuck can't ignore this one, and this is just going to get way worse, really fast.

I'll lay odds it boiled down to this:

"Cell and gene therapy access model: Designed to improve access to high-cost therapies for Medicaid recipients, this model aimed to negotiate pricing and facilitate coverage."

Something, something, aborted fetus stem cells, planned parenthood bad, something, something.

If it was really about one thing, couldn't he just rescind that part?

I don't think he cares enough to try and hide a true motive by doing more than 1 to include the 1
