My least favorite thing about Christmas is that my in laws go nuts on presents and I have to spend $250+ on presents for grown adults (when we can’t really afford it) and it’s the most annoying thing in the entire world I hate it so much.
People voted to put religion (Christianity) back into the school system while voting against making students have a free breakfast & lunch. Saying a prayer in school while refusing to feed the poor will always speak to the highest form of hypocrisy for Christians & progressives.
“Let me ask my partner” is actually deeply healthy in many scenarios and shows that the person values the input of their significant other. Y’all just don’t want to consider someone else and think being hyper independent and “you don’t own me!!!” Leads to a successful PARTNERship. Yes it’s dumb and can be controlling when it comes things like outfits or something. But if you aren’t ready to genuinely consider someone else’s feelings and input on an activity or event or whatever that realistically will impact you both, you aren’t ready for an adult partnership.
Q: Why are waits at emergency rooms so long?
A: Because the rest of the healthcare system is failing.
The patient did everything right, but the healthcare system did them so so so wrong.
🧵…
They call their PCP, but can’t get an appointment. So they turn to the ER.
They call their specialist, but the call line (automated, no human to respond) says go to the ER.
They try to pick up their new medicine, but it’s 3x their monthly rent $ and they already work 3 minimum wage jobs…so they turn to the ER to get a dose of medicine.
They try to get their imaging done, but can’t get the prior auth approved. So they come to the ER to get it.
Their employer won’t let them take a sick day without a work note (and the ER is the only thing open they can get into TODAY).
They need to see their doctor in the clinic, but can’t afford to take time off work to go, much less arrange childcare, and the ER is the only thing open when all those conditions sync up.
They lost their job and now have no insurance and can’t see their doctors anyways. So they come to the ER.
The list goes on and on and on…
Healthcare reform is not about healthcare — it’s about economics, corporate greed, lobby dollars, transportation, housing, politics/policy, culture, and more…
