A place for for news, discussion, memes, and links criticizing capitalism and advancing viewpoints that challenge liberal capitalist ideology. That means any support for any liberal capitalist political party (like the Democrats) is strictly prohibited.
A zero-tolerance policy for bigotry of any kind. Failure to respect this will result in a ban.
RULES:
1 Understand the left starts at anti-capitalism.
2 No Trolling
3 No capitalist apologia, anti-socialism, or liberalism, liberalism is in direct conflict with the left. Support for capitalism or for the parties or ideologies that uphold it are not welcome or tolerated.
4 No imperialism, conservatism, reactionism or Zionism, lessor evil rhetoric. Dismissing 3rd party votes or 'wasted votes on 3rd party' is lessor evil rhetoric.
5 No bigotry, no racism, sexism, antisemitism, homophobia, transphobia, ableism, or any type of prejudice.
6 Be civil in comments and no accusations of being a bot, 'paid by Putin,' Tankie, etc. This includes instance shaming.

It allowed the insurance grift to continue
It expanded the grift. I was uninsured and negotiating care for cash payments before Obamacare passed. Since then I have been paying monthly premiums for insurance but no money left for care, I have had exactly one checkup since Obamacare passed.
The important part is that you're on a monthly paid plan, and if you become uninsured and have a lapse in your coverage, you will pay even more.
I only pay for "insurance" now. I can't afford care and skip it. I've had a broken arm, weeks of vomiting, and a dozen dangerously high fevers, chronic breathing issues, and I didn't get care for any of them. I also haven't been to the dentist in over 25 years. But I have "insurance". It's fucking evil and so are the advocates of mandates.
Oh I forgot the cracked rib I had just this January. Ribs heal themselves btw. No worries.
You sound pretty ungrateful. America has better health care than almost every other under-developed country on earth. You probably just hate the tan suit with Dijon mustard. And something about racism.
