My country's "evil socialist healthcare dystopia" is far from perfect, but I wouldn't want it any other way.

I didn't learn wtf "copay" was until last year.

I remember seeing the fox news manufactured outrage about "death panels" when Obama care was the big talking point an eternity ago. I always found it hard to understand how that's not an apt description of a hospital board of directors with a profit incentive.

    It’s exactly the description of a profit-seeking board of directors. The reason they use projection to spread FUD about good reforms is because when someone says “no u” then it sounds like a pathetic retort instead of facts and the whole thing ends up sounding like immature mudslinging and everyone just gets frustrated trying to parse truth and they throw up their hands and walk away, the news cycle changes. The dog is wagged.

    Friendly reminder that recently in America, for-profit nursing homes were caught dropping patients off at homeless shelters

    You don't like paying exorbitant monthly fees to pay more unknown fees on top of your co-pay when you decide to use it?

    Insightful commentary from Pizzacake, as always.

    this is a place for appreciating comics, unless you have evidence of something that breaks the rules of this comm/blahaj.zone then try to keep negative comments to yourself.

    Damn, even the Lemmy.world comic haters are coming here too. Can’t you just stay in the bad community where you can circlejerk about how bad women are?

    This comment is toxic AF for a person seemingly complimenting the comic.

    They're being sarcastic. This user has been complaining about PizzaCake for months on end.

    They even upvoted that reply showing they agree with the terrible take that PizzaCake discriminates against men. Oh and that post was on a Jago comic (Misogynistic and Tranaphobic “artist”) yet the user only commented to complain about PizzaCake - taking no issue with an actually problematic and discriminatory “artist”.

    There is a group of absolutely terrible people who browse !comicstrips@lemmy.world and complain about women, feminism, etc. It's one of the reasons @Quokka@quokk.au and myself have chosen to post here on Blahaj to hopefully have some moderation that will kick these losers to the curb. If my reaction seems toxic, it's because you haven't been dealing with them for months on end on your posts.

    Yeah even with the most honest insurance company you can't make a claim "in case you get injured." Is not a bank account lol, it's to pool risk. That's just fundamentally not what insurance is.

    Edit: oh shit I didn't read, my bad.

    Reread the comic, specifically the first half of that panel.

    Hey insurance, I'm injured and need some of that money I give you in case I get injured.

    Shhhhhhhhh.... they're trying to sound intellectual while commenting on a comic that has a butt plug as one of the side characters...
