federal government of rubynet has officially begun shutting down, admins are on furlough

[Fucklord Bimbo]

The longest I have ever had to wait for an appointment for anything was a few days. Doctor said the herpes couldn't get worse with time, so thank god for that.

[timmy]

don't you get mad at me because you think you're a fucking know-it-all about a place you live on the other side of the planet from

stop trying so hard

[Boar]

i havent been to the doctor in years i think they are all wizards but not cool wizards

[Autistic Spectrum]

but your doctor was a polor bear with a lab coat on

[Boar]

not like the wizards in the harry potter series

if i need back surgery i can use my employer's insurance plan and still owe about $36,000 in deductibles, copays and getting nickel-n-dimed by a bunch of random Gotchas, or i could fly to India, get a surgery there that's at least as safe if not safer, and fly back all for about $12,000

i think there should be something like priceline for major surgeries,,, the lowest bidder wins your business

i think there should be something like priceline for major surgeries,,, the lowest bidder wins your business

that's actually an amazing fucking idea... give patients some fucking bargaining power so that our own hospitals and pharmas are forced to charge reasonable prices

[steveyos]

the good news is we're not canada so we've got that going for us

[steveyos]

it's kinda like how any person can say "at least I'm not monde." any country can say "at least we're not canada."

[Autistic Spectrum]

the actual sticker price(people who don't have insurance) is somewhere along the lines of 80 percent higher than what insurance companies pay for shit,

[steveyos]

drake is from canada, I rest my case

[Autistic Spectrum]

i love canada, it's actually a really clean/polite country with a lot of unspoiled frozen wilderness

posting in a thread that I don't feel like contributing to...

[timmy]

great idea about the priceline for drugs, junkies like bob will be over the moon!!!

[maks]

health care for people who don't qualify for medicaid but don't work at a place that providers a plan, LOL FUCK YOU LOWER MIDDLE CLASS, - signed your congress

mandatory health insurance for the people who have always had the option of buying it if they so chose, LOL FUCK YOU LOWER MIDDLE CLASS - signed your president

[always stevey]

I hope Obama unleashes his secret robot army on this forum.

i think there should be something like priceline for major surgeries,,, the lowest bidder wins your business

the republicans are actually admitting that if they can't hold the economy hostage to de-fund obamacare then it will never be gotten rid of because too many americans will use it, just like medicare, medicaid and social security. what i don't get is that they must realize they have little to no hope of strongarming obamacare out of existence like this, and will just come off as anti-american.

this shutdown fiasco could very well be the end of the republican party which scares the shit out of me, because as much as i detest the GOP i'd still rather have some of them in government rather than any kind of single-party governemnt

yes it's anti-american to fight a law which forces people to buy a product they don't want

[jon]

the furlough is now in day two, and people who are guaranteed never to lose their jobs but who can't work this week because they can't be paid, are really, really mad lol


meanwhile everybody in the private sector suffering real unemployment rates of over 10% that has been out of work for over a year can just go fuck themselves

[always stevey]

Don't know why everyone hates on government workers. You read too much Ayn rand

[jon]

the healthcare system in america is fucked because of government intervention in the first place HMOs ruined market competition for everybody when it comes to insurance and as for actual procedures the AMA has done a fantastic job of cartelization so that now they can ask any price they want and you'll pay it while simultaneously blaming the republican party (somehow) for such high prices

meanwhile what the democrats are trying to get right now is for even higher prices to be paid, both for prescription medicines and procedures, only not paid by the actual patient, but instead by the government instead aka single-payer aka the soviet socialist healthcare system aka rationing care

[always stevey]

Democrats want universal healthcare actually

[jon]

Don't know why everyone hates on government workers. You read too much Ayn rand

ayn rand is an atheist minarchist scumbag and i have never purchased or read a single one of her books, when are you going to get a clue

maybe you should just be a barefoot housewife to a pothead and keep your fascist bullshit confined to your own household, rule the lives of your little pothead kids with an iron feminist fist

[jon]

Democrats want universal healthcare actually

lol oh my god you don't even know what that means, i just explained it to you word for word and you didn't even recognize it

[always stevey]

They want everyone to have the right to medical treatment. Republicans would be content with people dying in the streets, they want to move us backwards. They remind me a lot of Islamic finatics with a different religion.

[always stevey]

Paranoid mood disorders often show a distrust of government and any authority figure. Lmao

[always stevey]
