This was one of my big complaints with Biden and now Harris. I'll still vote for them, but I have to stay at a shitty job that I fucking hate so that I can afford my mental health subscription.

Sooooo.......universal health care?

It's telling that there's a chance for big healthcare to come over to her side. It's the worst kind of good news, since they need to die, and must be aware that any kind of functioning democracy will eventually kill their business model.

But apparently their other current option doesn't stay bought...?

Her campaign has said she would not push for single payer as President, but it's important to remember that those kinds of promises can be broken just as easily as the usual campaign promises to do things which never materialize.

If she gets into office, progressive pressure needs to ramp up and stay up; the real goal should be the 2026 midterms.

I'm a Candian here so take my advice for what is worth. Vote Democrat as cross the board.

I have cancer. Hodgkins Lymphoma. A felt a lump in my neck on Friday. Called the doctors office on Monday and saw the doctor on Wednesday. In the next two months I had an ultrasound that was, "worrying" followed up by a chest x-ray and full body CT. That necessitated a biopsy which resulted in the positive diagnosis of Hodgkins. That triggered a PET scan, respiratory study, and echocardiogram. I saw my oncologist a week after the PET scan and started chemo two days later. I just had my second infusion this morning and I'm feeling a bit beaten up. They gave me Ondensetron for the night after chemo and Olanzapine for nausea as needed. All I pay for is parking at the hospital and I can claim that on my taxes.

Universal healthcare is really, really hard to implement. That's why only 22 of the 23 most developed countries in the world have it.

The US health care system is a grotesque lie.

Take a really close look at your insurance policy.

They fuck you over at the beginning with deductible. Then the out-of-pocket maximums come into play. The maximium you can be responsible for is $9,450. More than enough to bankrupt most people. My plan is at $4k per person through my wife's union job.

Depending on what state you live in you can apply for income based bill reduction as well. These are common in blue states. In red states, consider dying.

I'm sorry you (and all of us) are stuck with this system.

Maaaaan, whys it always gotta be a drunk uncle? Or a crazy uncle??? I'm an uncle, and the only speeches I give on thanksgiving are how the 1993 Super Mario Movie is BETTER than the recent animated one.

And I'm right!

Also Charles Martinet was and always has been a TERRIBLE voice for mario. He went from a gruff itailian brooklyn plumber to an accient so over the top, mario is the only one to ever use it.

…that’s still a lot of tacos.
