I added up the cash prices of all my meds (I’m chronically ill too. Hi fellow Spoonie!) and then what I actuall pay due to split billing (i have medicaid and insurance, it’s a godsend). Cash, my meds were over $2,000, and that’s not counting all the doctor’s appointments and other medical crap. This is so very scary,…

HSAs only help if you already have money. If you’re poor and can’t save, you can’t get care. If it’s tax credits, that doesn’t help old people on Social Security who don’t pay taxes.

Obama even said “call it Paul Ryancare”

As a longtime Massachusetts resident I’m sick to death (pun intended) of the myth that Romney had anything to do with our state’s healthcare laws. It was Senator Ted Kennedy that championed such healthcare coverage and he had been doing so for decades. Romney ran for every available office until he was able to get…

Seriously, call it whatever the fuck you want, but don’t just scrap a plan that is literally saving lives out of spite without having something better in its place.

I was at a wedding recently where a number of my conservative relatives were shit-talking Obamacare. Every negative point they came up with was a compromise made for the Republicans

They could have saved themselves a lot of trouble if they’d just been honest and campaigned on renaming it for a white guy.

Well, it was in its original formulation. The removal of the public option was crippling, and the tax penalties aren’t nearly effective enough to force the young healthy folks into the risk pool — but short of a single-payer system that removes the profiteering from what should be a basic human right in a developed…

This is what infuriates me. It is a fundamentally conservative plan. What the fuck are they going to replace it with?

Y’all, this dude finna cause me to have a heart attack. IT WASN’T EASY AND THAT’S WHY YOUR REPUBLICANS HAVEN’T DONE ANYTHING FOR EIGHT YEARS, OMIGAWD. Why you think they haven’t? IT’S THEIR BAIT-AND-SWITCH for voters, UGHUGHUGH.

The guy has never done a day’s work in his life, either. He just surrounds himself with yes men who are willing to take the blame when trump fucks something up. He’s a boss, not a leader.

Literally nothing he has said since being elected hasn’t confirmed what we knew the whole time, that Donald Trump is a neophyte who has never actually done any hard thinking in his life, and whose only previous hard job was deciding which model he was going to hit on once he named them a winner.

Find yourself someone who looks at you like Lin Manuel Miranda looks at everybody.

What she did / is doing is shitty, but so is homelessness. I hope she finds some way to save her apartment and get some kind of job, for her kids’ sake at least. No one should be homeless.

The level of unthinking schadenfreude in this post and in the comments is frankly making me uncomfortable.

I take no joy in this. Despise the woman but I do feel for her children who never asked for this.

I heard her (the “not feminist”) speak in an interview up here in Canada and I pretty much yelled at the radio the entire time.
