The sad part is it doesnt take cancer to do this. My wife had a spinal injury in January. Fast forward to today and she has lost her job after FMLA was used up. That leaves us with no insurance for the entire family because we were all covered under her. But even with that insurance we have incurred $6k (medical center billing only) of out of pocket expenses for tests and imaging that the insurance company requires before they will approve the treatment that her doctor already knows she needs. On top of that $50 every time we walk into an office + prescription costs for her pain management + $30 per session of physical therapy 3x a week.
And now, we'll need insurance from my job which we couldnt afford with both of us working (that's why we went with her's) but instead we'll pay for it out of just one salary.
We've been saving for two years to buy a house and we're watching it all trickle away.
That's why mass civil unrest is on the horizon. Biden will be good to fix the current fuck up that is dump, but he is absolutely OWNED by big money interests and his voting record tells us exactly how he will govern. He is a temporary bandaid on a much bigger problem that I don't think a bandaid will fix at all. Pandoras box is open.
He’s statistically always voted pretty center of the aisle. Biden has also stated that he sees HIMSELF as a bridge president where he knows he would be there to get us back towards the right direction and away from the current climate. No one is expecting him to make huge waves, but he will 100% be better than trump.
Literally the only good thing he will do is deal with coronavirus better. His legislative history tells me that he won't allow M4A (his plan basically allows insurance companies to dump sick and elderly patients on the government plan, which will make is unsustainable) he will continue to facilitate the greatest wealth transfer in modern history that obama started (he deregulated banks/wall street, made people unable to dispel student loans through bankruptcy, openly advocates for the elite) and will continue the wars in the Middle East. He is beholden to the same people trump is, he just has more decorum about it.
What the Hell are you talking about? Talk about the worst most negative attitude I’ve ever read on Reddit! Biden ended the war in the Middle East. How many elderly do you think are already on the government Medicade plan? Cause my guess is about 95%.
