That or we could join the civilized world and have a public option insurance system so you could actually leave your job for better pay instead of only staying for the insurance which is an issue that predates the insurance mandate that’s is now functionally toothless.

Most Americans couldn’t/wouldn’t want to deal with the ridiculous wait times between seeing their PCP and the specialist

What part of OPTION did you not read. Private insurance would still be around it just means there be a bottom baseline that companies would have to compete against compared to now where it’s “screw you we do what we want” like auto denying claims at 12 claims a minute.

Bullshit.
Every time the government gets involved with anything it ends up costing a whole lot more and is far less effective and efficient.

The gi bill and new deal beg do differ.

And the Social Security Act was a scam at the jump. Retire at 65 and collect a check from the government. The life expectancy back then was 65 years. For Blacks, it was closer to 60 year life expectancy. And Congress keeps spending the Social Security money on unrelated programs and projects.

We can’t have programs like the gi bill and new deal because conservatives and bought democrats keep voting them down.

That was literally the point of the green new deal but yall just screeched “socialism” at the mere concept of a new deal revolving around renewable energy sources.

In fact it seems conservativism has a long standing history of calling any good policy idea socialism like when the fda was made so we’d stop having glass and formaldehyde in our food.

Oh really so did conservatives support a new deal centered around renewable energy or should I trust my lying eyes and ears when Fox News was screaming how it would lead to a burger ban.

Or are you referring to my comment regarding the fdas forming because the conservative members in both parties openly voiced against food regulations one of them out right calling it socialism.

Either way it ain’t bs just you feel so.

Right now, renewable energy is a good idea that isn’t quite ready for prime time.
Additionally, anything that regulates the production of food (crops, beef, etc) is wrong. Let the farmers decide what and how much they want to produce.
The only thing the FDA should regulate is the safety of what we eat and the safety and efficacy of what drugs we take.

The green new deal didn’t regulate beef it regulated methane emissions from those farms. Those farms could reduce their emissions without cutting its herd sizes by changing their feed.

I’m sorry to but renewables not being ready is absolute horse shit. The Hoover dam? I live in a state that uses renewable energy and nuclear energy. We absolutely would benefit from more renewables to cut carbon emissions.

When most people today speak of “renewable energy” they are referring to wind and solar.
Most lefties are totally against nuclear energy.
0 ups, 2mo
Well to be fair nuclear isn’t renewable but it is clean. And no most are not against the tech but rather against its use because they fear corporations will pollute nuclear waste as bad as they do with fracking water which is a reasonable concern.

So you double down on the bullshit.

I literally gave you a prime example of a modern bill similar to the new deal getting shot down.
A 1 to 1 example isn’t bullshit.

I literally gave you an example of how Roosevelt’s New Deal was just another Old Steal vis a vis the Social Security Scam.
1 up, 2mo
Social security was only one aspect of the new deal. Even if you genuinely believe that it was a scam. It lowered elderly homelessness dramatically and funding it wouldn’t be an issue if there wasn’t a cap of 100k especially given the modern day wealth inequality that’s compatible to the guided age.

Not sure what insurance you have and what claim you were trying to get approved, but I have never been denied for a claim…then again, I don’t run to the ER for a hangnail either

I’ve been denied multiple times for anti viral medications despite having an illness with no cure and having refills. I have to waste 30 minutes of my day waiting for the pharmacy to call my insurance and tell them they are full of crap.

but that’s anecdotal. Major insurance companies have been busted for denying claims in times that are now physically possible to read like a 12 page claim being denied in under 30 seconds.

Cigna my employers insurance. Was caught in this practice post mandate.

Obamacare isn’t a public option it’s still a plan provided by a privately owned corporation. But that aside they used to block those requests before Obamacare under the guise of “pre existing conditions”
Which became illegal after Obamacare passed. Not that they don’t still try to do it.

Unless it’s one of your states state healthcare plans but no clue if that’s the case because that varies wildly.
