Yeah, let's just ruin everyone's credit with medical debt so we can stop buying bullshit overpriced cars and accruing ludicrous quantities of credit cards. The main downside I see is if this acts as another barrier to home ownership. But then, of course, the banks will begin getting pissy if they can't loan to anyone.
I can only see this backfiring on the economy--theres only so much money allocated to people's pockets, and this is the federal government deciding that the medical industry gets to have a larger share of it.
For-profit healthcare is inherently unethical.
*evil
Judge could use an unscheduled leg amputation followed by a bath in sewage and HIV and hep C blood, then maybe they find out how easy medical debt grows
Federal judges are insured on the taxpayer dime.
denied! trumpidiotism is a pre-existing condition.
Are they? Do they not just have a (probably very robust) plan through their job like everyone else? I.e. taking money from their paycheck to pay for it? Of course having such a massive workforce would allow them to offer great insurance, I imagine.
I could be wrong, but I don't believe judges are on Tricare or anything like that.
They have FEHB same as many federal employees. This gives them even more options than ACA and allows them to keep health insurance into retirement. The federal government like any employer covers a lot of their premiums.
So are our tax dollars funding it any more directly than they're funding any other federal worker's health insurance?
No, but not sure how thats relevant. Their salaries also come from our taxes. Other federal employees aren't the ones putting medical debt back onto credit reports.
Because there is a distinction between things like Tricare or the VA health system, and just a good healthcare plan that you get through your employer. Even if that employer is the government.
Our Senators get free healthcare on our dime (Tricare). Federal workers get a good HMO plan because they have a massive risk pool. Big difference.
The accelerationist in me (who has gotten louder and louder lately) is saying "Whatever, it was just another band-aid on the broken system."
The tactics of class warfare these nazis will take is just… completely unsurprising. They need prison.
They need prison.
You're much too kind.
If a Nazi gets sent to prison, even if it's for life, the next spineless leader will just pardon them in the name of "unity" and "peace"
or use them in a rocket program.
I'm going to assume it's the 5th circuit.
Am I right? Did I win?
Yes. Eastern District of Texas
It's a good thing it only applies in that district now.
….right anakin? Right?
great, creditors still know medical debt isn't worth the toilet paper it's printed on. You can buy hundreds of dollars of medical debt for pennies.
