My mind is always blown when I learn people pay $600-1000 monthly for health insurance, only to not be able to use it without paying $10,000 deductible first EVERY year. What’s the fvckin point?!?!.

My daughter’s friend, 16, had a mini stroke a few days ago and can’t move half of her body. The Drs believe it could’ve been caused by a virus. Any viruses out there besides Covid that could have resulted in this? Unbelievable.

@thrasherxy We’re able to see this clip because the drone was taken down and video handed over to Al-Jazeera. I can’t imagine how many horrors are committed this way every day by Israel that we don’t see.

@jackcalifano I mean they’ve already shorted us $600 of a $2k stimulus, given us no more stimulus checks during Delta and now Omicron, ended mortgage/rent moratorium and kicked millions off unemployment during a pandemic. Think those of suffering are going to get excited about voting?.

My family never owed taxes until this year. Last year the child tax credit was $5000; this year, $2000. I don’t know how we’re going to afford to pay them, when just buying groceries is a challenge anymore.

I’m a veteran; my medical costs <$100/yr. I talked to 2 nurses today, & another tomorrow for $0. My meds are sent to my house, cost next to 0. If the government can make it this easy, then they can get rid of insurance. Single payer or #M4All It’s a human right.

@POTUS There’s always magical money for war, but nothing for the poor. Shameless how we spend over 1/2 of our budget in military and now, in addition all the $ we can give for war abroad. Meanwhile, nothing for Covid, homeless, healthcare, education….

In 1995, I graduated with $16k in student loans; today, I owe $98k (not joking). I became a disabled vet right before 9/11 but not given 100% rating, so I can’t discharge my loans despite not working. So I’ll just die in deep debt. There’s no relief living in America.

The ACA is garbage! Who can afford over $650/mo for two people and a $6400 a year deductible? Or over $3k/mo for a family? It’s a shame-even a crime I’d say-that our President-elect is still in love this plan during a pandemic. For profit healthcare is evil!.
