Meanwhile, in our third-world country, the doctor recently ordered my mother to redo all her previous medical exams from last year, including an MRI, a Holter monitor, blood work, urine, an EKG, and everything else for free. Even her heart medication is free. The quality of care is top-notch, and the doctor is very attentive. We only pay with our time spent waiting in line for the appointment that was booked months in advance, because some things are honestly a mess. It sure as hell beats whatever is going on over there.
This is not to shame nor brag, but to hopefully show that these things are possible, affordable by the government despite what Republicunts say, and are worth fighting for.
In a sane world we would have affordable Healthcare. But we have fox News here, so we don't. Literally fox News is responsible for 90% of our problems bcz some stupid high percentage of republicans only get their news from Fox, and they've demonized any kind of socialized medicine.
I was subjected to that shit today, and you know what they were 'losing their minds' (knowing it's all fake outrage) over? Joe biden getting "too much ice cream."
I fucking kid you not.
~~And you know... Fox news is Disney. Which is Marvel and Pixar and...~~ I talk bullshit.
Actually no. Disney bought 21st Century Fox but without Fox News, Fox Sport and a few others. Those were spun off into the Fox Corporation (owned by Murdoch) or sold off to Sinclair and Comcast.
Fox News ended up in the Fox Corporation.
I stand corrected. Thanks!
I was wondering about why left-leaning Disney would host far-right fox news. So I googled and it turns out they don't.
Upvotes for admitting you were wrong and not removing it. Being wrong isn't a big deal. Not being able to own up to it or hiding it really is.
Fucking republicans not one redeeming quality from any of them.
Fox News are scumbags, no doubt, but most republicans are for med for all. Our scumbag politicians on both sides of the aisle are the ones who are fucking us over.
