We didn't have this problem 30 years ago. You're right. They clearly aren't receiving enough medical attention. We let down our mentally ill every day. --- |

It's no different than other sayings meant to show sympathy. Do you get mad when people say to sick people, "I hope you feel better". Hardly anyone takes these things as having literal changing power, and of those that do, even fewer believe the changing power these words possess are sufficient without actual action. If that were the case, we never would've made it out of the stone age. If we all loved each other, there would be no war and we'd have world peace and puppies and rainbows for days. Everyone does not love each other and God is apparently an evil bastard if he existed, so we need to do actual things to keep society from crashing and burning. Prayers are less than wortlhless. --- |

The employee has rights, sure, but as far as things like forcing you to come in on your day off or working over the employer always have the upper hand. Unions help level the playing field so the employees arent taken advantage of. Or here's a wild idea: We don't let employers fuck over their employees and we can save a lot of trouble. --- |

Trump won because people voted for him, apparently for various childish reasons. No one held a fucking gun to anyone's head. Anyone that says they had no choice but to vote for Trump because Hillary and SJWs is being ridiculous. I'm not talking about hardline Republicans or others who legitimately agreed with Trump's proposals. I'm talking about the children who voted Trump out of spite and then blame their decision on essjaydubyas giving them no choice. I can't believe I'm saying this, but at least actual Trump supporters have some goddamn conviction. You could vote third party, write in, or stay home. And before anyone throws a Butt Hillary, yes some people voted for that shrew for shallow reasons just like some Trump voters. --- |

KingCrabCake posted...KobeSystem posted...FLUFFYGERM posted...SK8T3R215 posted...Holland fell ill about a week ago and planned to pick up flu medication but felt the $116 copay was too high, her husband said. A woman refused medicine because of sticker shock. This is a real, fairly common thing. And that hesitation may or may not have contributed to her demise. What facts are being ignored by TC? But don't let that stop you from expressing your commiephobia everywhere you go. Also, why does a famous ghost like you think he can talk about people ghosting?

| Topic | The difference between the Prequels and the JJ Abrams trilogy |
| hockeybub89 02/12/18 10:33:17 PM #3 | The new movies are objectively better works of cinema than the prequels. They aren't perfect and are sometimes stupid as hell, but they are better movies. The old movies have mediocre acting at their best moments and look ugly even for early 2000s movies. They've aged worse than the OT as illogical as that sounds. A lot of Star Wars fans were just kids back then that had a lot of toys from the prequels and see them through nostalgia goggles. You can't even really make some argument that "at least they had soul" because George Lucas gave as few fucks as Peter Jackson did doing The Hobbit. And like those movies, it is a mystery where the hell all that budget went? Craft services? So they stuck closer to canon. Whoop de doo. We all know that is 95% of what makes a movie good /sarcasm. I don't even know where this hate boner that everything Disney corporate touches is shit came from given the MCU and the majority of Pixar and Disney Animation movies. Is it some misplaced notion that everything Disney does is dumb shit for stupid little kids and Star Wars is serious adult business? --- |

| Topic | Texas teacher dies from flu; she had put off buying RX due to $116 copay |
| hockeybub89 02/11/18 11:30:09 PM #144 | Questionmarktarius posted... byrone posted...But that's the thing with medicine. People can't just boycott it because they need it to survive. There aren't many options with Tamiflu at the moment. There are other drugs with limited generics or no generics at the moment. Alternatives aren't always exactly same and could just be in the related family. The patient may only be having success with some certain version of a drug. Insurance may have a strict formulary, sometimes even preferring brand. Etc etc etc. Pharmaceuticals are not always something where the consumer can speak with their wallet. The very problem here is people avoiding treatment because they try to do so. People need their medicine now, not in the future when the market hopefully works in their favor --- |
| Topic | Texas teacher dies from flu; she had put off buying RX due to $116 copay |
| hockeybub89 02/11/18 11:16:16 PM #136 | MrPeppers posted... hockeybub89 posted...Questionmarktarius posted..."$116? Fuck that!" is a perfectly reasonable response. The former doesn't help the latter. It is a vicious cycle. The pricier medications or doctor's visits are, the more likely people are to put them off. I see this all the time at work. People will go home and look for coupons or try to get a 2nd opinion from their doctor, or just flat give up if they hear some high copay. It doesn't matter if they are dirt poor, filthy rich, or in between. If they aren't at risk of immediate serious harm, they will typically walk away empty handed. And this isn't to you, but funny that the same people who go on about people keeping their wealth are okay with everyone getting fleeced by pharmaceutical companies if they have the disposable income to pay the exorbitant fees. It is apparently perfectly acceptable to get fucked as long as the person doing the fucking doesn't get paid by Uncle Sam. --- |

Over $100 for a single prescription is not something that can be swung by everyone. Would this story suddenly make you go "Capitalism is evil" or whatever you think people are telling you to think? Or are you just pointing out she personally probably could have afforded it to avoid the issue of medicine being very expensive? --- |

| hockeybub89 02/11/18 10:53:13 PM #164 | Knowledge_King posted... Because once the Gov't can force you to be injected with a substance, nothing stops things like sexual and hunger repression (military gets them), things like a kill chip, possible injection of a disease into a race of people they dislike (they've literally done this by the way), and possible assassination What if the pharmaceutical companies and the entire healthcare profession are already doing this RIGHT NOW? It only gets scary when laws become involved? How terrified of you are of the inevitable fascism caused by the health and safety regulations that exist at this very moment? Slopes are only as slippery as you allow them to be. It's this simple. I don't think putting your children and the rest of the population at risk of preventable, communicable diseases is some kind of unalienable personal right. How is it any different than abuse or assault? Now maybe Proudclad can bounce back with some "What's next? Forcing people to eat healthy, exercise, and not watch TV or play video games? Mandatory worshipping of Mommy Government every hour?" nonsense that almost resembles sane thought. --- |

People that think like you should definitely not be in the field. If you say most are like that, then all that means is the medical field is poisoned and needs an overhaul, or a culling. If teachers started mentally abusing their students in droves, it doesn't make that behavior acceptable for that job. This is like when people say we need to accept the bad cops with the good because otherwise there would not be enough cops. No thanks with that bullshit. --- |
