A lot of insurers are already waiving all fees related to coronavirus, including treatments. You can see if yours is listed below to find out what their policies are. Some of them are even waiving all fees related to telehealth.

I know insurers are still evil and all so I don't need that lecture again because I know all about their issues, but this is something they weren't forced to do (aside from looking bad by comparison to others) and even though I work in the industry, I find this shocking that so many of them are doing the right thing without being told they have to. Too bad this won't be a moment like when the Grinch's heart grew three sizes, and they create a pool to share the costs for people who arent insured.

I just want to say that the word telehealth is great

but like he got Cena to snap right? and people he takes out tend to regress.....the ingredients are there :(


Part of that was reverting him to his past personas, including the Dr of Thugonomics, and exposing how those personas were just him being Vinces puppet

If anyone ever wants an easy way to explain what the difference between good workers and bad workers are, use Braun vs Goldberg and Drew vs Brock

Almost literally the exact same match but the WWE Title match is like a full star rating better because of Drew and Brocks work between the lines.

if this is something that's going to affect poor people disproportionately - which is expected - it means this isn't a racial issue but a class one. tying brown and black, trying to tie in reparations, playing identity politics like this ruins that completely.


The point though with regard to reparations is that minorities are disproportionately part of the lower class because of Americas historical and ongoing systemic racism.

You want to help all the poor, thats great, but it ignores the perpetual, intentional harm inflicted on the non-white population to specifically disadvantage them.

What they have in common when it comes to the term Brown is that they are USA minorities

Brown isnt like an official census thing, its more of a social/colloquial thing. I think it can cover Latinos and also Arabs and Indians (from India, not native Americans) and stuff.

Like even if someone from the Middle East would technically check the white box on a census form, theyre not white in the way a French guy would be.


Its almost as if ethnicity, race, and color are all three distinctly different things

white is the majority. has always been the case. this isn't even some sort of weird questionable take - that's always been the reality and is widely accepted in every field that studies demographics. trying to deny this would be the radical position.


Is there any notable difference based on the persons national heritage?

Like you say Elmhurst is plurality Latino, but we also all know that Latino isnt a monolithical block.

Your access to quality health care on average has nothing to do with your access to quality health care during a worldwide crisis.

Blacks, as a whole, are likely the least affected demographic so far from it.


I meant on average during the pandemic

And yeah, I dont know if theres any evidence of her statement or not. I know Wang said that one of the hardest hit communities was Hispanic, which would typically fall under the umbrella of black and brown people, at least in the way she means it.

Does anyone have Coronavirus case rates broken down by race in the US?

Why would COVID relief be drafted with an eye towards reparations anyways? That's just wild.


The argument would be, if it was accurate, that communities largely populated by people of color have less access to quality health care on average than predominantly white communities, for the reasons she states.

Thus the virus would be disproportionately affecting them due to systemic racism built into the fabric of the nation, and you can make a case for reparations because of it.
