    20 million George Carlin Americans who will be losing shitty, yet at least some medical coverage, due to their own Idiocracy and the complete incompetence of the Democrats who continue to capitulate in the face of adversity.

    Color me not that sympathetic.

    I have a clinical colleague who worked in the US for a few years. I think their description of US healthcare is best summarized as follows. Has the potential to be the greatest on Earth. In reality, the quality of care provided is far below European standards. She was mortified to discover that diabetics routinely had below knee amputations whereas in the rest of the world, with the exact same clinical picture, care would be provided to prevent worsening of diabetic foot.

      for type 2 is lack of nutrional education, proper managment as well. because it so expensive, plus you have things like insurance making you pay into your preniums before they fully cover any medical care. mortality for women in pregnancies seems to be worst, and AA people have the worst rates.

    So glad we ended the shutdown and got nothing out of it because democrats were promised a vote on this that they knew they wouldn’t win on.

        Oh, and the bill they voted on also made hemp-derived THC products illegal.

        I wonder which democrat was holding out for that.

          It really sucks that democrats are useless. I hate having to vote for them but even being useless I think/feel the worst democrat is miles ahead of the best republican. Man those two words shouldn’t ever be used together.

            They’re complicit. Merely useless would be an improvement.

          If Null, PugJesus, and Rheori are going to mass downvote my account because they got butthurt for breaking rules and not getting away with it, they could be a bit more subtle about it.

          Oh well, I guess I don’t support the Gaza genocide like Goat does so I guess I’m a tankie now.

          Edit: Hey null. How’s it feel to be aligned with someone who’s pro-genocide?

          Edit 2: $50 dollars to Lemmy with From the River to the Sea, Palestine will be Free with Goat’s name.

    Pedo traitor party doing what they always do. Which is everything they can to harm average Americans.

    Gonna be a lot more Americans that hate America going forward. Let’s see how that turns out.

    Hey y’all. Stop voting for fucking conservatives or doing things that allow conservatives to have control, like not voting or voting for 3rd party candidates that literally cannot win because they are members of non-viable parties that haven’t done anything to make themselves viable.

    The 2nd Amendment is more important than health care. The dumbfucks who voted for this would buy ammunition over insulin shots.
