That is exorbitant for most people for a basic doctor's visit. Federal minimum wage is $7.25/hr. Takes an entire work week for a minimum wage worker to afford a doctor's visit.

As other's have explained to you, that is just a visit. It covers nothing else. No medication, no tests, no referrals. Just to talk to the Nurse Practitioner for 15 minutes. You will not be talking to the doctor.

I hope you realize what he is talking about every single American deals with and I think you missed the part where he is fortunate and this is literally the best case scenario (outside of being rich enough to not give af.)

You can make sure your doctor is in network, but if someone bills you for other services like an anaesthetists, radiologist or labwork, they may not be and you could get a surprise bill for thousands of dollars.

The fundamental weakness of Western civilization is empathy [for the rich.]

We have to organize at the community level and do it without all the shadowfunding the fascists have.

Bernie is the only leftist in the Senate. So until that changes it will be impossible to move beyond him.

No. You don't understand. Imagine 1930s Germany. Imagine what those German citizens must have been like. That's America, but possibly more stupider.

Do you have a source on that? I find it hard to believe we put water into unsanitized bottles.

That would seem to be the explanation on the face of it. Piping is made from heavier duty plastic. But I've heard that PVC can start leaking some nasty chemicals over the decades. Is that better or worse than microplastics?

The thing is that most of our piping is plastic. So how is tap water so much better?

It already happened. I vaguely remember something my boss would tell me about him being gay or something like that. Idk it was some completely made up horseshit.

Walz seems like a good guy but I think anyone associated with Harris campaign is tainted and rightfully so.
