The rest of you took a few years to catch up. And tried to call us normal people crazy

But anyone with even a lick of common sense saw all the ridiculous circumstances and knew the peices didn't fit

Whoa, game changer, why didn't you tell us at the start of Covid that you had your PhD in virology?

It's this. You call this "proof". This is why nobody takes you seriously.

So...back to Uncle Joe...

Why's he have strap marks from his CPAP at 1:00 in the afternoon?

Do you have a better explanation than I implied yesterday morning?

I hope that this decision has the same backlash as Dobbs. The Executive action would be unnecessary if the Legislature actually did its job instead of Gym Jordan and wife-beater Comer chasing after nonexistent whistleblowers. Throw the bastards out, if you want solutions.

Who controlled both houses when EO was issued?

TIA.

Congress gave the Secretary of Education that authority. In law. As per the Constitution. The SCOTUS acted without authority. Expand the court or ignore them may be the only option as they keep blundering along. They also decided a case for a plaintiff without any standing today. They are idealogues and idiots.

In truth, of course, even Biden knew it was shit...

Regardless if someone wants student loan forgiveness - I don't see how people can be OK with a President single-handedly spending that much of our money.

yknow what would be a bigger impact to what wider swath of people? Healthcare.


after spending hours and hours in the ER last night I watched many many many people clogging up the system with minor things because they don't have insurance and the ER can't refuse care.


That is a drag on the system and it is a massive misuse of resources. Also...none of them are going to pay for that care....so.....it helps nothing.

I have to pay for insurance and ill end up paying some ridiculous goddamn sum of money to be seen for 15 minutes. We are already forced to subsidize healthcare for those that don't have insurance.... even if not labeled that way.

SOCIALISM!!

I do not think executive action in this way was the correct way to address a very real issue.

But.

As a matter of principle, the hypocrisy on the right is outrageous. Where are the complaints about spreading one group’s burden on all of us when the pubs push (or preserve) massive tax cuts or breaks that favor the wealthy and powerful?

The goal of the discussions from the left is to show that the republicans are just plain mean and have no compassion whatsoever. Good narrative for an election year.

I think it’s absolutely true that the republicans are winning lots of battles that will cost them the war.

I mean, the evidence all points to a Republican party run by Randys and Michs guarding their lawn with shotguns against songbirds. The kind of people who turn off "It's a Wonderful Life" when Potterville is in full bloom.

In order to be granted "privileges", i.e., the permission by a hospital to admit your patients there, in addition to submitting your credentials to prove you're qualified, you also have to sign an agreement with the hospital to admit and care for any and all of those "... many many many people..." who check the None box next to the question Who is your physician?, on the admission form. (Which is why those patients are referred to as: "Dr. Nones".)

In alphabetical order for a 24-hour period, every primary care doctor has to admit all the patients who present to the ER that need admission but have no physician. And just like the patients you do have a doctor/patient relationship with, you see the Dr. Nones and give them the same care until they're discharged. And, "...none of them are going to pay for that care...". None.

So your entire career in the hospital is punctuated ~ every 4-6 weeks by a 24-hour period where the people most disconnected from society and the habits of personal hygiene and the drug addicts and alcoholics who show up randomly at the ER unattached become your responsibility and you take care of them, for free. Sometimes you only get one or two patients in 24 hours and other times it can be in the teens. It adds up to hundreds of thousands of dollars over the years, and while you would hopefully get some consideration, you have the same potential liabilities treating them as you do anyone else. Free. Not free of liability, not free of time and effort and phone calls and beeps at all hours of the day and night from the hospital, but free of being paid. And we all do it and just take it in stride because nobody cares to hear physicians complain about that, or anything else.

So yeah, I agree with TDub, not only because the way it is now the "Dr Nones" by virtue of being on the edges of society delay going to the ER until finally in desperation they show up much sicker than they would if they had national health insurance, but it would have been nice to get paid for taking care of them all those years at three different hospitals, too.
