The amount of poor people trying to vote away their healthcare is astounding. The average American family pre-Obamacare was an ambulance ride away from being destitute, even with insurance.

Or just don't pay duh

yeah seriously dont pay. they pass that stuff off to collections and the only thing collections is good at is getting old people to pay because they still answer calls

youve got a 50/50 of getting sued for every penny vs the 100% chance if you pay the bill

How can they find you if you give a fake name? This is basics, people

the other countries do not need emergency beds because preventative care is affordable and ubiquitous.

That is not what "critical care" means

Blistex posted:

As funny as this sounds, you're right.

Nearly every bed in a US hospital is classified as a critical care bed as the required equipment can be wheeled to them. The problem is that there is nowhere near enough equipment or trained staff to have all of them doing critical care at the same time. It's like bragging that you have the largest taxi fleet in the world, when only 1/10th of them can operate at any one time due to lack of drivers and fuel.

That is not what a critical care bed is defined as. "Bed" refers to operational capacity not a literal bed

Dr. friend in Washington State (went to high school together) told me this, this very morning. He's not sure if it's because of funding, tax purposes, or some other administrative reason, but his hospital, and every other one he has worked in considers every bed they have in certain wings not dedicated to long-term care or outpatient care "critical care capable", and he said that the numbers are inflated.

Unless he has some reason to lie, then I assumed he knew what he was talking about.

You misunderstood what he said. He knows what he was talking about, but you don't know what he was talking about.

Guess not, since I understand English and what "bed" and "inflated" means (besides the average goon sexual encounter). Just assumed a loving Doctor knew what he was talking about when it came to healthcare.

Again, you don't know what you're talking about. This has nothing to do with the doctor, who probably knows what he's talking about. See, the limiting factor here is you. You are not a doctor. Talking with a doctor does not make you a doctor.

Nurses can give or withhold your pain medicine, and directly controll whether you eat, sleep, go to the bathroom, and how long you sit in piss and poo poo until they send one of their assistsnts to clean you (if st all). They can have you tied up or drugged into oblivion if they just say anfew magic words.

If you upset them for some reason they can and will mske your life hell. One bad word thst youte s troublemaker they'll all work together to gently caress you. They ste essentially unfireable.

Nurse serisl killers usually havr triple digit body counts and are rarely caught

Yeah, no.

The AVERAGE nurse salary is about 65k


Which is still not necessarily "underpaid" but you're off by a lot

This includes places like thr south

In NY average salary is right under $90k and with bonuses and overtime take-home pay for a nurse working maybe 4 12hr shifts a week is $100-120k easy. In California it's even higher

The Honda Ridgeline is the most American-made truck in Cars.com's 2019 American-Made Index, an annual study that analyzes assembly location, parts content, drivetrain sourcing and factory employment to rank the most American-made cars, trucks and SUVs. The Ridgeline nabbed the third spot in the top 15 for the 2019 index, ranking more American made than any Ford, Chevrolet, GMC or Ram truck.

I love that "America first" idiots love to "roll coal". More commonly called: paying a foreign power for diesel.

U.S. oil/petroleum refineries produce most of the diesel fuel consumed in the United States. In 2018, imports of ultra-low sulfur distillate (ULSD) fuel oil, which is distillate fuel with a sulfur content of 15 parts per million or less, were equivalent to about 4% of total ULSD consumption in the United States.
