idk man I just need to vent i guess
my employer “provides” health insurance in exchange for my time and labor, and for that great privilege they take $600 out of my paycheck every month (covers me, my wife, and our 1yo son)
that’s half our monthly mortgage payment; it’s 2/3 our monthly grocery bill
why?
ACA institutionalized the health insurance industry as having some broad legally protected powers to fleece the American public. And there is no recourse or alternative besides getting healthcare outside of the country.
Pharma industry is the second parasite that enjoys similar legal protections.
Medical Community sold their asses but especially doctor types… Decent doctors don’t survive anyway, but this is standard for any industry. Worker needs protects if we expect them to do their job properly… Ain’t nobody got energy to battle the orphan crushing machine 40 hours per week
Then, we have federal government that’s essentially enabling all of this due to the above clowns capturing regime whores in congress.
This is the standard regime model and most industries are going this way if not already there…
Oil, banking… Tech is trying it too, the 🤡 companies “want to be regulated”
Corpos like having a blank check from the state to fuck the peasants.
It ain’t just US issues, apparently UK parasites are getting that spot quicker than the US nepo babies.
The fuckening will only gets worse.
It was already like that before the ACA.
ACA formalized the corruption. And price increases accelerated too.
Captive Audience. They can’t leave, metaphorically. Everyone should remember ACA was created by a Republican think tank, for exactly that reason. Extortion.
they can go to a foreign country and pay cash, and it will be cheaper with hotel and travel 🤡
but only the “better” people have the cash flow for such “operations” as always… so i would say that vast majority of American slave force in fact: can’t leave, physically.
I’m sure Trump’s concepts of a plan will fix all these problems
Sure. Let granny die in a ditch, just like the good ol’ days.
Here comes the political brainrot…
You do understand that these discussions can be had with out left right circle jerk?
Why should we not call out the problem when we all want a solution? Conservatives have been the primary henchmen for the ultra-wealthy for generations now.
Neoliberals and Republicans are all conservative shitbags who have ruined our lives for profit. They are all worthy of death, according to some clever French revolutionaries.
Naive
