    Hey, I come from the other thread that’s deleted now, so I couldn’t comment there anymore. Just wanted to say I’m sorry for the false assumption and I wholeheartedly agree with your point, there’s a certain absurdity to this because of the importance of the topic and the resurgence of Fat Joe. Have a nice day!

      Oh sure, thanks for tracking me down to say that, but you don’t have anything to apologize for, it wasn’t a bad assumption if you didn’t know anything about me and made me realize how what I was doing could easily be misinterpreted and used in a way I didn’t want it to be, so I appreciated that original comment too. I’m definitely not above sticking my foot in my mouth and need people to point out when I’m doing that sometimes.

      The other point from that thread is that the whole idea of having to price shop when you need care seems sadistic and inhumane to anyone from any other civilized country.

      Even if pricing was transparent, it’s still the wrong way to manage it. Healthcare should be a utility, paid for by taxes, like it is anywhere else in the world that isn’t a capitalist dystopia like the US is.

        It is barbaric, but it’s also a widely popular and zero cost way to bring all healthcare costs down tremendously in our nation of 340 million people.

        It’s a no brainer that will help us as we continue to fight for actual universal healthcare.

        There are factions in UK and Canada are clamoring to privatize their healthcare system to be just as good as ‘Mericas!

          I’m Canadian. I know.

          Apparently our fiscally responsible conservative leaders are a-ok with paying private nursing agencies and clinics more than they would if they just staffed public facilities adequately.

          I’m not sure why, but I’m always told that conservatives are “good with money” and “fiscally responsible”, which Ive learned means “good with transferring public money into private coffers”.

            Conservatives talk about fiscal responsibility but then lower taxes and greatly increase spending for things they want.

          That’s because corruption ruins any system.

          Not having healthcare as a utility is quite retarded tho.
