In 20 years the chuds and conservatives will never put 2 and 2 together that their lovely policies on childcare and maternity leave are why they can't find anyone to change their adult diapers.

All the countries at the bottom of the fertility charts are either first world countries with generous social welfare systems that relieve population pressures by allowing everyone to be more self-sufficient; the colonial subjects of first world countries that are both poor and have no foreseeable future like Puerto Rico; and developing countries in the gray zone of having a highly educated and highly exploited population with no welfare assistance to plan a family, like Poland.

since the "markets" are probably going to tank in the next 2 years i highly recommend anyone who wants a new job to join the "lard" market this is a make work middle management position where a corporation will hire basically anyone who has experience in any field in anticipation for layoffs that way when the economy tanks you are the first to get axed and they look good for cutting the fat while keeping the important people protected but in the meantime you are rolling in the cash and building a resume

I got taken to the royal melbourne hospital emergency room last night after a really bad nose bleed left me pouring blood all over my apartment They kept me in there for four hours and hooked me to an IV, ran blood tests, and gave me this adrenaline/anaesthetic thing. After I got the all clear and was let out i asked at the counter whether I needed to pay anything and the nurse just laughed and went "haha no, this isn't America" and sent me home.

Low life expectancy is a feature because there's less chance that our children will live in the post apocalyptic hellworld that is to follow.

Not having an automatic right to healthcare is so ludicrously dehumanizing, especially when you're scared for someone you care about and can barely communicate with anyone. Definitely one of those "thank god I'm not American" moments that seem to be happening more and more frequently these days.

hmmmm the coal industry anti-regulation lobbyist says one thing, though he acknowledges that he has no proof or research showing thing is actually true on the other hand, actual doctors say he's wrong, and the head of the relevant division of a government health research agency was willing to go on record and openly say he was full of poo poo welp, better print both of them!

nopantsjack posted:i dunno, i don't beleive american healthcare is actually real. pretty sure its all a simpsons joke Let me tell you about Balance Billing. When you go to a doctor in the US, the doctor's office and your insurance company negotiate over the price. Obviously the insurance company wants this price to be as low as possible, and the doctor wants it as high as possible. But the insurance company has more power in the situation, so likely the price will end up lower than your doctor wanted. But don't worry! Thanks to balance billing, the doctor's office can bill you directly for whatever they feel they were cheated out of! Which means when you pay your insurance premiums, you're paying a company to convince the doctor to bill you for as much as possible!

Grondoth posted:aaaaahahahahaaaaaaaaaaa what it mostly happens with out-of-network doctors in-network doctors have negotiated contracts with the insurance company and are usually contractually obliged to give discounts to the insurance company's customers and charge no more than what the insurance company is willing to pay out-of-network doctors, on the other hand, don't have a contract with the insurance company. they're free to take whatever the insurance company is willing to pay and then hit the patient for more. the insurance company knows about that but doesn't care, they're only willing to pay the discounted rate they decided on. if the doctor isn't willing to settle for that amount, they'll rationalize it as the patient's fault for not making sure to pick a doctor that gives the insurance company discounted rates of course, in an emergency, you often don't have the luxury of being able to make sure the doctor you get is an in-network doctor the US healthcare system is hosed because it's an impossible mess of proxies and middlemen all trying to gently caress each other out of the most money
