Question for the Christians
- Thread starter $kully
- Start date
Sometimes the house needs the fire hose
number 1 cause of bankruptcy is medical expense
thats specific to usa
weve got huge unemployment
and health insurance tied to employment
or expensive health insurance options for the unemployed, who may not be able to afford it
the the team that the Christians are on want it this way?
it doesn’t make sense to me
It trips me out when people say Catholics aren’t Christians. I’ve had lots of southerner friends say this to me.
I'm talking about the extremes on both sides that are going to capsize the canoe that most Americans are earnestly paddling along daily.
Left wing crazy:

This is repost but it's insanely prescient.
Right wing crazy:
America’s Future Is Texas
With right-wing zealots taking over the legislature even as the state’s demographics shift leftward, Texas has become the nation’s bellwether.
I think the right is crazier but the left is giving them a run for their money.
That the dems are running Biden against trump is MADNESS!
This is so not true

There's broad support for "free". I doubt there's broad support for what it would actually cost vs what they'd actually get. That is, within the U.S. and starting from where we are right now in 2020. People might think they can have the best of both, but IRL it's far more likely to end up being the worst of both.
What percent of the country is a job loss and medical issue away from financial distress?
or what percent are at risk of losing their job and insurance if they have a medical issue
Or what percent have a decent medical insurance plan until they have a real medical issue where they hit their limits and leads to financial ruin
i don’t have the answer, but it sucks to be in that vulnerable group
i don’t know what teach a man to fish means with respect to catastrophic medical issues
If you think health care is a human right instead of a service then cost is no object. If you think of health care as a service akin to car insurance or homeowner's insurance or professional liability insurance then cost is a consideration.
If a $20k car generates a insurance premium of $xxx and everyone who owns such a car pays that rate then that's fair. Making some people pay more than others for that coverage is inherently unfair.

Wouldn't almost everyone be happier if it was Tulsi Gabbard vs Justin Amash? I mean, shoot, I'm not saying that either of those are perfect candidates, and maybe we could pick a better pair, but Joe vs Donny is like a fucking bad acid trip or something.
Yeah, I don’t think car insurance or homeowners insurance are as necessary as healthcare
ive had some personal trauma related to this as a teenager that has absolutely shaped my thinking with respect to this
blaming the victim triggers the sh*t out of me
i should probably disengage in the conversation
I know several people who choose to forego health insurance altogether, and who don't regret it. Others who run with the bare minimums and still others who really pack it on.
Universal health care schemes deprive them all of the liberty to make those choices. Sure, you can add more more, but you can't back out of services you have no need for. Women shouldn't be compelled to pay for ED drugs. Men shouldn't be compelled to pay for gyno services, etc. Healthy people shouldn't be compelled to pay for unhealthy lifestyle choices. Sober people shouldn't be compelled to pay for substance abuse choices.

What do the no insurance people do in the event of a catastrophic injury?
Universal health care would be a reasonable response to the legacy of slavery, which we are still dealing with.
It would have a positive effect on the entire society.
You have to balance the needs of the individual and the society.
I know, that is hard.
