Stop shrieking from the bleachers so Kep’s wife can keep her job. I know he’s all about being uncomfortable and wanting to be the first to the guillotine and all, but NOT YET. Let Schumer- er, sorry, Robespierre, go first.

My two cents (I only skimmed some of the replies): I'm pissed that Schumer didn't put up a fight and STILL hasn't put up a fight.

Kepler, either in this thread or elsewhere, said that it was either 'attempt to limit the damage by handing them a lighter but hold onto the gas can; or let them shut the whole thing down, take both the lighter and the gas can, and burn the whole thing to the ground unsupervised.'

My issue is Chuck isn't getting ahead of the future messaging. He could have explained this better, and likely could or should have made more public effort to fight for something.

Its the lack of fight that gets me. and he's being destroyed on his media tour and won't even defend it now.

Chuck stood there, knowing it was a fastball up and away, and all I wanted him to do was swing. Just one swing. But the bat never left his shoulder.

At least Jeffries swung. May have been a terrible, terrible pitch, but at least he took the chance.

Chuck's the now the guy who comes back to the dugout and just sits at the end after the at bat and doesn't talk to his teammates. Weird, but he used to be the guy who would let the next batter know the pitcher tips his pitches and here's what the high and away pitch looks like.

Dude became a DH in his career twilight just hoping the checks keep depositing.

I wouldn’t even say he’s holding the gas can in the first analogy, but I love the baseball one. I would add that the umpire called “strike 3” with Chuck’s bat on his shoulder, even though the pitch was 2 feet off the plate, because that’s the political climate we’re in right now.

I found the Reddit thread about this. I’ll get shredded for this, clearly, but:

His position won’t make nearly as much as people are listing . He may even be less than what you’re on (in fact I’d assume so)
Employees there have terrible insurance so it’s not really any different than any random person being denied . In fact many employers choose uhc plans that are substantially better than what employees can get.

Just saying, this might have broken me too. The irony can’t be lost, I hope it gets a ton of media and something tells me this persons chain of command is probably fuming. Oh well!

If we were a legitimate society the discussion should be around why does treatment cost that much? What can we, as a society, do to lower those costs and provide people the care they need? But we are fundamentally broken because the internet warped our discussions into who gets the last zinger. /ShakingFistAtClouds

No, it was broken before the interwebs. When healthcare became a strong method to make millions of dollars in profit, that's when healthcare died in this country. It's one thing to pay talented doctors and nurses to take care of us, it's another to 1) pay a middle company to decide if what I need is covered and 2) for the hospital owner to make sure they make money. Let alone that pharmaceuticals can make sure they make a lot of money on sick people.

It's morally repugnant that it's such a massive profit center for people who do nothing to help people feel better.

Our statements are not incompatible.
 
Try going to other countries, working in their universal coverage systems, then coming back home to be told “shut up commie” when you try to explain how we keep accepting the worst frameworks for life

I can't figure out how to talk to someone visiting our country and seeing all of the ads for drugs. That's so telling on the pathetic nature of our system.

For a year, I was forced to work with no vacation because my European colleagues legally couldn’t work over x hours and were required summer vacation . I was denied pto repeatedly

So it made sense for my firm to ship in Americans to Europe for the death march

That is absolutely fascinating. I expected a director at UHG to make more than I do and have fantastic health insurance.
 
I would assume he's still making six figures.

If you're making that and still can't afford healthcare, then there's a problem in this country.

And also with his personal budgeting. Time to quit eating out. Get a second job. You know, like you lecture the po' folk to do.
