"Brian Thompson was never satisfied with the Status Quo."
Yeah clearly he wanted something closer to Handmaiden's Tale
Fuck UHC. I hope youβre doing better. If so consider getting a lawyer and/or going to the newspaper if you think you can do it.
No one should have to pay for that. No one.
Not me but thank you, some poor soul I saw on Bluesky.
Just because it is legal, doesn't mean it isn't punishable.
Conversely, just because murder is illegal... doesn't mean it's always wrong.
Clearly, being a woman is a pre-existing condition.

Things like pregnancy or being a domestic violence victim were considered valid preexisting conditions until they passed Obamacare
B-but if we had universal health care we would lose all our FrEeDoM!!1! /edit: left out "if"
we'd have death panels!
That's technically better than what we have now. All we get is a single jackass deciding whether we die or not.

Rape kits aren't free? I figured that because it was a response to a criminal action it counted as more legal than medical... guess you learn something new every day...

BEING RAPED IS A FUCKING ELECTIVE PROCEDURE!?!?! ARE YOU FUCKING KIDDING ME RIGHT NOW!?!?!
When I applied for a driver's license in Texas, they had a list of things that I could choose to pay extra for, one of which was donating money towards testing rape kits. It still infuriates that they tried to pass that off of random people.
One of the biggest scams the American Government ever pulled, was claiming that its responsibilities were actually that of the citizens, and that anyone who expects the Government to do anything but wield an iron fist is a "Whiny snowflake looking for a free lunch"
That's just a symptom of the actual greatest scam: making people think the government should be a "them" instead of an "us."
Its responsibilities are those of the citizens. That's why the government exists: to regulate, pay for, and administrate those responsibilities.
That's why they exist in theory. In practice they serve a social class that's very much not "us" except for lip service
Those whiny snow flakes would really fuckin appreciate it if you called them by their proper names, billionaires.

Brian got off easy, yikes.
He was basically euthanized by comparison to what he and his company did to people.
He was just the face of the operation - there's a whole board of directors.
So because she likely hasn't the energy to sue, they just lie? Being raped is not an "elective procedure".
Holy shit, what a fucking nightmare
