  • Eeh.

    While I agree with the sentiment, I think we’re in this situation because of the current medical climate.

    • You call an ambulance? You get charged an arm and a leg.

    • You take yourself to the hospital, you get charged an arm and a leg.

    • You get medical insurance, and you’re somehow even further behind because it’s their priority to find reasons to deny having to give you money back,

    The current system does not work. As a consequence, people are attempting, however incompetently, to take their care into their own hands.

    Fix why folks are resorting to this, and this should stop being an issue, or at least stop gaining traction.










  • "In the absence of that sorely-needed action, the Office of Gun Violence Prevention along with the rest of my Administration will continue to do everything it can…”

    Isn’t that basically admitting that this new department can’t do anything and just posturing?

    Or am I missing something?

    Edit: In retrospect, the biggest value this department might have is having it be under Republican leadership down the line. An entire department explicitly against gun violence may cause some in-fighting about reasonable measures… as opposed to the current status quo.

    That is of course assuming the entire department doesn’t just get tossed and establishes itself as having some teeth.
