Like i dunno it’s one thing for him to be outright evil and doing evil for evil purposes, but he’s literally a fucking u.s. senator with all the power and authority and ability to find real information that entails, and he seems to genuinely think that that is what the american public is paying. I don’t even know what that is. It’s like an ignorance so deep and so profound and so thoroughly rotted from within that it’s become evil in and of itself
I sincerely hope i live to see the day he becomes john fettered man
The mother goddess 努娲 is said to have created humans by molding us from clay. This man is closer to clay than human. He should return to the earth, he’s clearly suffering.
A very kind way to say “this person is made of piss and shit and should be eaten by worms”
I think Fetterman yearns to return to clay. He secretly hates life and wishes for existence to end, where he could later be dug up and made into useful ceramics like an ashtray or a spitoon.
All politicians should be legally required to use the most basic tier of Medicaid, with all of the requirements except for age and all of the bullshit the poorest person in the country goes through trying to apply. They should be legally required to apply for and use SNAP at the level allocated for their immediate family size if they want to eat. They should be moved into public housing via the same waitlist as everyone else. John Fetterman is such a fucking vampire because he’s allowed to be. He should endure what humans have to.
Also, they have to take public transportation and their kids can’t go to private schools. A socdem essay on this that’s a good read.
he should have much worse than that happen to him, comrade.
What’s going to happen to John Fetterman if he’s waiting three months for an appointment at an overworked public clinic and can’t get a hot meal with his SNAP card so he’s doubling down on preserved foods? I’ve seen the single medicaid bed at a nursing home. If that person coughs they’re shipped to the emergency room so that they can lose their housing and be shipped to a worse nursing home. The people John Fetterman would be can only be compared to I Have No Mouth and I Must Scream.
The problem is that then only independently wealthy would be able to sit in Congress.
It’s almost double that for me and my family excluding the co-pays, and that includes very favorable rates for me and my aging parents because I get it through a labor union.
I live in a country with 1/23rd the US GDP per capita. Set aside the absurdity of citing GDP on Hexbear for a second.
We’re fucked as a species huh
his own healthcare costs are more than that in an average week.
Not with the plan reps get
For life! No matter how long you serve in Congress, you get lifetime healthcare.
That’s right
We need him back
That diva earned it
New universal healthcare program is to just have everyone rotate out of Congress
I thought 4k seems a bit fishy. That’s how much I pay for health insurance just for myself and I’m not even from the US.
I could maybe believe that number is accurate for a median dual income family with no major health concerns before the premium increases that hit this year but it’s also absurdly high to begin with. To be basically fine and still pay $4k a year (probably around 5% of gross income) just for basic preventative care is absurd.
Edit: or if he only means out of pocket expenses but then you’re probably doubling or tripling that number by adding healthcare premiums for the insurance that doesn’t even kick in until the family wipes their savings out every year.
To be basically fine and still pay $4k a year (probably around 5% of gross income) just for basic preventative care is absurd.
That would sort of be the point of insurance, wouldn’t it? To pay an inflated rate when nothing happens to you, so you can still afford treatment that would be impossible to afford without insurance.
I don’t think you’re wrong in the sense that this is (mostly) how the system works but treating health insurance like any other kind of insurance is exactly why it is so expensive and unwieldy.
Yeah i only think you could get that number excluding health insurance premiums entirely. My insurance is something like 5-6k a year. And that’s not including any copays or anything! I basically got this insurance and haven’t even been able to afford to use it until i have an appointment in July and you know it’s gonna cost me money then, too
And even assuming no issues with anything else (i have a long list of issues with somewhat concerning symptoms i.e. the random pulsing pain in my neck where my carotid artery is is def waaaay up there), if i get back on adderall for adhd idk what it is now but last I was getting it legally 10 years ago they started charging me like $40 at the pharmacy for that shit, that’s almost 500 a year just for that
It’s just so fucking obviously false that this shit costs what this guy thinks it does
It's just Healthcare for an entire family, Donkey. How much could it cost, $4,000?How does he not know how much it costs? He wasn’t born with a silver spoon in his mouth.
Combination of lying and stroke.

Honestly that’s most politicians. They really have some sort of twisted perception of the realities that everyday people are faced with and the longer they spend time in the government with all the cushy benefits that all these ghouls get the further removed they are from reality.
