I used to be strictly materialist and atheist. Now I’m pretty spiritual. Don’t necessarily follow a religion and don’t support bigotry but yeah, I’m fairly spiritual now. This is a recent development and I never thought I’d be here like 5 years ago.

    Not all Republicans are bad.

    Was Mitt Romney not the brainchild behind the ACA/Obamacare?

      AMA only attempts to solve half of the problem with medical care in the US. Before it access to medical care was gated through insurance and many people (especially children, who are worthless in the capitalist system) were uninsured and therefore had no access to medical care.

      Providing access as Obamacare does kind of works, but only by making a Faustian bargain with insurance companies: they are given carte blanche to extract wealth from the population bad and only have to provide the barest fig leaf of medical care.

      So…the ACA is bad, but better than what came before.
