Fuck parents who think this is ok. Charge the camp, the “councelors”, and the parents of murder.

Your child was born to this world, not built and it’s not your or anyone else’s job to “fix” to match your view of the world.

Cosmonauticus ,

it’s not your or anyone else’s job to “fix” to match your view of the world.

I don’t know. While these camps are horrid I do believe some kids need to be “fixed” due to a multitude of reason out of their control. Mental health issues, abuse, etc. I’d just do it with a lot of family therapy instead of murdering, demeaning, kidnapping, and imprisonment.

When I said “your view of the world” that did not mean an actual mental illness. If they have a mental issue, send them to a hospital, not these fucking camps.

Why do you hate freedom, America and puppies?

esc27 ,

Isn’t that essentially the story of Coca-cola. Early in their history they didn’t think bottling would be successful, so they signed a perpetual contract to sell the bottlers syrup at a fixed price. Then when bottled coke became popular, the only way for coke to profit was on volume, so they launched a massive advertising campaign advertising the drink price of 5 cents.

Decades later, coke ads are classic Americana and it’s popularity is one reason these drugs are needed.

health insurance companies only profit when human beings suffer. full stop.

the only people rooting for these companies is either in on the take, or hasnt suffered their 'service' or are too rich to care. thus proving healthcare is for the rich only

There is some hope out there. I hope more of this continues, getting rid of bad actor Dems instead of blind support due to (D) would go a long way.

How is this legal?

OberonSwanson ,
@OberonSwanson@sh.itjust.works avatar

It actually isn’t, but those in charge know our legal system works so slowly. So the companies already know they just have to delay and they’ll only pay a percentage of a fine for swindling patients. And instead of being accused of robbing, their legal team will get charges lowered and the company will just change its name and start over. Until the punishment fits the crime, the rich scams will continue.

Yup. They violate HIPAA all the time, too. Rules for thee, not for me.

OberonSwanson ,
@OberonSwanson@sh.itjust.works avatar

Bingo. Which is why they comfortably hide using the infighting of the two party system. One party has to be willing to accept they’ll be doing most of the work to fix the situation. Up until now, they wanted us believing the task is Sisyphean and impossible, the truth is we can easily catch them with their pants down.

corsicanguppy ,

Quick reminder: only for 4 months of the last 44 years have the Dems held the admin, house and Senate, that triumvirate that lets them do anything positive without selling everyone out for the smallest of handouts.

nyar ,

That’s literally not true. Obama has both the house and the Senate for the first two years of his term, and he wasted them.

joe biden has done more with a house full of republicans and a gridlocked senate. Its amazing people still think obama was at all good.

Burn_The_Right , (edited )

Wtf?

  1. Are you saying health insurance scams predate conservatives?

Or

  1. Are you claiming conservatives are somehow not to blame for our completely fucked healthcare system despite their extreme efforts to prevent conversion to a normal healthcare system?

Or

  1. Are you just being a bit pedantic about the use of the word “Republican” instead of “conservative”, since our most-conservative party has changed names a few times during our nation’s history?

If #1 or #2 is your meaning, allow me to debate your position.

Conservatives (including conservative neo-liberals) are the direct fucking cause of this situation. If they were removed from the equation, we would at least be on par with one of the 30 other developed nations. We are the ONLY developed nation on earth without healthcare, and the reason for it is conservative cockroaches doing the bidding of the billionaire class. That is the only reason.

The cure to our health woes is the eradication of conservatism. It really, truly is as simple as that. If we were able to cure the plague of conservatism, we would be rewarded with a normal civilization that includes a healthcare system.

“Death panels!” the conservatives shouted. “The government will have death panels!”

The rubes ate it up, not realizing they had death panels the entire time and paid more for them.

cheese_greater ,

And the only death panels were all the insurance company death panels that already existed all along the way

rubes

I call them Rubels

barsquid ,

Seriously. The real Obama Death Panel is a lone worker mass-clicking “not covered” all the way down a spreadsheet that has your care as a line items.

I also like doing this juxtaposition:

Repubs under Obama: “death panels are going to kill our grandmas.”

Repubs under Donald: “sacrifice all grandmas to the rising line.”

EvacuateSoul ,

Not to mention the part of the bill they were referring to was paying doctors for end of life counseling, like living wills, which help people die with comfort and dignity.

Unfortunately, the US will never change. This rabid individualism and savage capitalism is too ingrained in the country’s psyche for it to change.

homesweethomeMrL OP ,

Although I don’t believe that, i do believe the amount of needless suffering required to force that change is too damned high

With something like 2/3 of American military-age men being too overweight or obese to serve, these drugs would likely be considered strategically essential in any [hopefully] theoretical throwdown.

But still charge a ridiculous amount more for it in the U.S. than in other countries.

jwt ,

My guess is it has something to do with the already exorbitant healthcare costs Americans are making (causing the asked price not to be an outlier) in combination with the obesity epidemic going on in the country.

Gotta love the invisible hand of the free market.

FlyingSquid ,
@FlyingSquid@lemmy.world avatar

It’s much more to do with the fact that all of those other countries allow the state to negotiate drug prices.

jwt ,

That might also help a tad.
