      As if both parties aren’t in the pocket of the insurance industry.

      Extremely weird comment when you have no idea about his political views. It doesn’t really matter how the guy voted either, it’s a sad story about a couple being fucked over by the US medical and insurance cartels, and it is needlessly cruel to gloat over it.

        No, it absolutely does matter. I am tired of these “we owned the libs” idiots giving each other high fives when a transwoman can’t compete in swimming and then suddenly crying bitter tears after they have no healthcare coverage.

        I refuse to even consider feeling bad for somebody if they voted for exactly what they got.

        so if that information won’t be provided, I will hold out judgement and ignore the article

            why should that person be having empathy for some conservative pos who voted to defund healthcare specifically so he could vote against LGBT rights and against women’s rights? this guy could be a cool dude, but he may not be. I need not have sympathy for my enemies.

              He’s a wrong entitled brat whose depth of critical thinking is circlejerking around a failed 2 party system, in which both parties are pro capitalists and want private healthcare.

            it means I am focusing my energy on things that are known to be worthwhile, or at least more likely to be

            a >50% chance that the person in question is an asshole and undeserving of any sympathy means playing the odds

            people get respect when they demonstrate they deserve it

          Assuming you voted for fascist-light party, you also voted for this… These issues predate Trump and are fully supported by the “we are capitalists” party.

            the people who vote facist light may be perfectly willing to vote harder left if the overton window were shifted… but it’s not shifting… because of many many assholes… and since there are so many assholes, why have sympathy without context?

      I hope monkeys take over the world. they at least would have a better chance at forming a agreeable and domestic society that isn’t run by narcissists that are grossly overpaid and have the power to put wealth in the pockets of people down on their luck(*) and who form a unjust hierarchy that classes people by their fortune and therefore prevents some people to afford housing or medical bills, and which the rich people are afraid that they will have to give some money up to pay for simple tasks like repairing roads and constructing buildings. So, naturally, the people that are living paycheck-to-paycheck have to “chip in” and “do their part in this great American economy” while trying to keep financially afloat and survive. Maybe monkeys will see earlier on that this is not the solution. Monkey for president.

    So the medical system is putting an elderly person to work and on the road at that.

    So if he crashes and injure himself and another person the insurance company can get money from 3 different incidents two of which were avoidable.

    I bet they are in their offices saying, “TRIPLE KILL”
