Turkey bacon is a crime against God and whoever invented is burning in Hell.

I’m sorry, the smear campaign was maybe she did some inappropriate touching years earlier with some dude bro??

I mean it is absolutely a broken system that needs fixing but I have no idea what the correct solution is and I just can't see putting a price on organs as being the solution.

Forever???? How do you enforce that??????

if you have health insurance!!! but I’m talking about poor people, who usually will have lapses in their health insurance at some point in their lives due to financial desperation and inability to afford to maintain it.

I mean, if you’re uninsured and can’t afford high blood pressure medication and as a result lose the functionality of your kidney, yes.

You end up at higher risk for…

okay but you will still be setting up a system where poor people are selling years off of their life out of financial desperation.

Yes yes a thousand times yes.

Except the problem would be poor people selling their kidneys and it’s pretty much a guarantee that lowers your life expectancy and also it allows for rich people to have access to better healthcare and honestly opens up a whole other can of worms.
