You truly are homeless hopeless. When they finally turn your back on you, none of us will be left to stand up for you.
You’re just reacting, you’re not listening.
Uninsured skip doctors, ACA reduced uninsured. There are still too many uninsured. Insured still skip doctors, because deductibles are too high. Health insurance in the US is more accurately bankruptcy insurance, a lot of insured don’t receive sufficient healthcare because they cannot afford anything outside of an annual visit plus regular tests. Anything that needs a specialist is often put off until it’s an emergency.
Your citation is irrelevant to what I’m saying.
- "In Q1 2024, the estimated uninsured rate for the full population is 8.2 percent, which corresponds to 27.1 million individuals without insurance. "
Note that this is an estimate based on a survey. The ACA doesn’t provide a mechanism to tally the number of insured, and this survey tries to be representative, but could be way under reported.
That’s over 27 million people the ACA leaves behind, because it isn’t a sufficient system for the richest country in the world, where healthcare should be a right.
- “Over the past year, 22% of Americans say they have steered clear of some sort of medical care — including doctor visits, medications, vaccinations, annual exams, screenings, vision checks and routine blood work — because of the expense”
Again, once insured, people still skip the doctor because insurance deductables are insanely high.
- “Uninsured adults are more likely to forgo needed care than their insured counterparts. In 2023, nearly half (46.6%) of uninsured adults ages 18 to 64 reported not seeing a doctor or health care professional in the past 12 months compared to 15.6% with private insurance and 14.2% with public coverage.”
15% of insured Americans skip the doctor because it’s too expensive.

You deserve better than the ACA, you should demand better.
What you don’t cite, what you claimed and what I asked you to cite, is how many people don’t skip going to the doctor because of the ACA.
Not zero, no doubt, that’s my point; it provides enough relief to stifle revolution. No where near 100%, which is what socialized healthcare providers.
My and many others’ lived experience tells us otherwise.
Where is this data you have? That says people actually use insurance and can afford the deductables?
You think those insurance companies got paid and nobody got treated? Because stats out there show tens of millions of people gained coverage who had non before because of that bill.
Do you think having insurance is the same as receiving medical care?
You people always claim it’s romneycare but then you sit there and spout Republican talking points, talk about dissonance.
What republican talking points did I spout? I want true socialized healthcare without a private for profit company in the middle, no, I don’t think the ACA is good enough.
But like I said, it relieves enough pain that it keeps people from revolting.
There was always going to be somebody getting paid
Now there’s a republican talking point! The doctors should get paid, by the state. The leaches in the health insurance industry shouldn’t, and the assertion that they were “always going to get paid” is peak capitalism.
Jesus Christ! There is no public entity providing healthcare under the affordable care act, the subsidies allow poor people to purchase private health insurance. It’s literally using tax money to increase instance companies’ customers and profits.
He might be the only sane Republican in this case. Romney Care isn’t the socialized healthcare Americans like to pretend it is, its entire purpose is to give just enough relief to pacify revolution.
It goes away, people might just revolt when they can’t afford healthcare OR food. Obamacare (Romney Care) is a republican plan, don’t forget that.
A MacBook pro, if you’re into the apple ecosystem, is a solid option. You can run Linux and Windows in parallels and do your development on there, and for a lot of development workloads it’s sufficiently performant.
I like my system76 laptop, but I ran a MacBook pro for a couple years and it was solid, and this was over 10 years ago.
13·3 days agoThat was the norm before it was so easy to buy online from across the country, local stores set their own prices and a few minutes of calling to find the best deal is like searching on Google for a few minutes to find the best deal… But they weren’t doubling in price in a couple months, that I can recall anyway.
You need a left first.
0·5 days agoObama was not a badass, he was a charismatic young illegal drone striking war criminal who reversed course on several key campaign promises.
He wasn’t Trump, but he wasn’t a leftist workers hero, you deserve and should demand better than Democrats.
1·4 months agoThat’s literally what I’m saying.
That was never the criticism from anyone actually opposing Trump. The criticism is that she built her career as a cop, locking people up for minor offenses, fighting to keep them in prison for cheap labor, and then went on to campaign for the most lethal military machine on Earth. But sure, go ahead and whitewash her record because it’s easier to joke than to confront the fact that your “lesser evil” still has blood on her hands.
Capitalism is inherently evil… it’s built on exploiting workers through economic coercion by rich capital owners who don’t, the labor is not rewarded as much as the hoarding of capital.
Still, we live in a capitalist society, and businesses can be not objectively evil, and we have to support those business and boycott objectively evil ones.
