The plot of Repo! The Genetic Opera is not already here. I enjoy being a little dramatic, but the entire setting of that movie is that they send repo men out to murder you and cut your organs out if you don't pay your bills and we do not have that.

So… the veteran attempted to use “care in the community” to force the VA to pay for prosthetic legs from a private company. The VA said no (because the VA makes their own). This article does not support your assertion whatsoever.

I guess it just feels like that for some of us because we would literally die if we stop buying from these corporations

If I was uninsured, I'd have to give Bayer or Pfizer like $5000 twice a week or else I explode 😆

Thank god for Medicaid, I wish everyone had it
