Must be nice. My wife had a fucking TIA at 40, and they left her in the ER for like 8 hours un monitored, and still wouldn't admit her

I mean, yeah, that's the American dream. I get six figures and work like maybe 3 hours a day on a busy day. When I was 16 I was washing dishes for $5 an hour and it was 8+ hours of constant, hard work, every fucking day

Pelosi is a fucking joke, and its insane that the democratic party bends over backwards to kiss the ass of a corpse that encapsulates all of their failings, rather than embrace young populists within the party.

Democrats lose when they allow their rich donors and geriatic leadership to make decisions that should be made by the voters, or at least in accordance with the best interest of the voters.

Gotta pump those numbers up. Those are rookie numbers!

Yeah, I mean all the cancer kids who got duped by the cancer charity that Trump and his kid defrauded are dead now anyway. That makes it a victimless crime, right?

Things aren't looking good. I still have hope that the CIA/military will intervene before he takes office, but not much. I'm hoping that when he completely screws the pooch with the economy, and the housing markets crash in a year or two, his own supporters will take him out,

If we're lucky the Republicans will have learned nothing, and will get mired in petty infighting and stupid bullshit political theater until the mid terms, and people are pissed enough to flip the house\senate. But the judicial appointments are going to put the shackles on future administrations, and progressive policy for decades unless the problem of extremist judges is addressed successfully

Yeah, the only immigrants I know of that need deporting are the ultra rich shit bags who overstayed their visas, dodge their taxes, and try to buy their way into government positions. Basically the people that Trump cozies up to the most.

Assholes who do the least amount of work and take 95% of the profit can't figure out why the people who actually make the company money see them as parasites.

Maybe have your Private jet fly you up a few thousand feet higher for a better view and you might be able to figure it out. Fucking assholes.

It won't be enough to eliminate the CEO's. You've got to get the whole c suite and their kids. That should give them the perspective they need.

I've worked in healthcare for over 20 years, and the fact is that licensed, well trained, and caring individuals are forced to waste hours a day getting 'approval' from non-licensed high school educated insurance reps to try and justify their treatments. There can be entire departments dedicated to just dealing with insurance companies at pretty much every hospital, but often times insurance companies will only talk with the actual clinicians that care for patients.

The entire practice is fucked. First of all non-licensed non-medical people should not be dictating the treatment of care. Whether it's directly or by means of denying coverage. Second of all there should be absolutely no way that they should even be allowed to look at your private medical records. And finally when it comes to something like auto insurance there are laws that insurance companies cannot steer customers to certain repair shops or dealerships. And yet when it comes to our health, health insurance companies are able to set up elaborate networks that essentially do the exact same thing they steer customers to certain institutions and prohibit them from going to others.

The entire setup of our health care industry seems like it would be at odds with most of our well-established laws regarding insurance, PHI Access, and delivery of medical care.

This is going to become more and more of a problem since the working conditions are burning out clinicians at alarming rates
