    Thanks for the insight on the typical terms of bonds. Good info.

    So eyes peeled on this one too I guess. They are making an example of her, I mean the judge plainly said so. We can’t let them get away with these excessive charges.

    I didn’t kill anyone and I never will. But I will be damned if I let this moment fade into the next news cycle.

    As a society, we are having the conversation about for-profit healthcare NOW!

      Yep, which is opening them up to civil suits, but is an open secret about our justice system.

      As a society, we are having the conversation about for-profit healthcare NOW!

      Think of it like the fediverse. Last year a big event made a lot of us ditch reddit, but some had already been here, and for the majority it wasn’t enough for them to change behavior.

      I don’t think Luigi is the big event that causes permanent change, there’s been a lot of people who have been pushing for healthcare reform, 20 years isn’t rare, some for decades longer.

      The first presidential candidate who had universal healthcare as a part of the party platform was Teddy Roosevelt in 1920…

      It’s a century long fight against the healthcare industry, and it’s not going to be as easy as what just happened to change shit as long as all of our options in general elections have already been bought off.

      We reference dogs who catch a car everytime Republicans win majorities and the presidency, but on 1/7/2020 Joe Biden didn’t leap into action, he “looked into” things for so long we lost the House and had an excuse not to do anything. “Winning” by electing a moderate only depresses turnout in midterms and the next presidential cycle.

      We have to grow up and admit that or absolutely nothing will really change. The first step is understanding the root cause or we’ll never stop fighting symptoms.

        What are you talking about? You just sort of wandered off in the middle there. If I sus your point, we just have to accept it? Or that it will be a gradual erosion?

        You can sit there and be all wise. I’m going to keep shitting on insurance executives and encouraging others to do the same.

          Nope, it’s that Joe Biden wouldn’t fix it, and neither would Kamala, hell, the biggest recipient of UHC donations was Kamala

          No one’s saying you shouldn’t.

          I’m just saying we also need to shit on the investors.

          And the politicians from both parties they bought to prevent us from fixing anything.

          We won’t win this thru the courts, they said with the money.

          We won’t win this with politicians who took the money either, we can only win if we first win in the Dem primary. Lose there and we’ll keep losing.

          I want to actually fix the problem, and am talking about how

          You want to fix a symptom, and it’s a major symptom, but we’ll be fighting the problem at the same time so why not fix the problem so fixing this (and other) symptoms is easy?

          You can sit there and be all wise

          In general you do t insult people because you don’t understand, but I provided clarification anyways because this is important. Others won’t.
