Welcome to c/news! Please read the Hexbear Code of Conduct and remember... we're all comrades here.

Rules:

-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --

-- Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed. --

-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --

-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today/ . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --

-- Mass tagging comm moderators across multiple posts like a broken markov chain bot will result in a comm ban--

-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--

-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --

-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --

lol remember when Obama tried to pass bare minimum legislation to slightly curb the worst predatory excesses of these butchers and all the hogs rose up en masse to defend them?

Conservatism is an open death cult (liberalism is more of a stealth death cult that doesn't show its true face until you've bought in for a few years)

but death panels! an unelected board of bureaucrats might decide whether you receive care or not!

but waiting times! You'll have to wait a long time to recieve your care!

I went to the former Soviet bloc countries and saw first hand how awful socialized medicine is! They don’t cover every medical concern either like dental so it really isn’t universal now is it? Checkmate commie.

I mean we have healthcare cut piece by piece for 36 years by now in Poland, but even now tales from US "healthcare" sounds like horror stories and i often tell them to randomly met people and the reaction is either complete unbelief or terrified stare.

I remember when Obama passed legislation to force me to pay these butchers a lot of money, yes. That was great.

Heaven forbid we do the bare minimum and offer a public option, that would be socialism!

[–] Llituro@hexbear.net 12 points 3 weeks ago

I found out yesterday that Obama just actively opposed the public option during the passing of the ACA too. He really never missed a moment to be a feckless traitor.

We can't reform the system or we might end up with death panels.
