Medical care in America

 

Explain why it's okay to give medical care to humans in the United States:

Tourism.

I'll ignore the ignorant bs implied in the post, for now.

There's an event coming, the Olympics. 

Which has huge tourism dollars. 

But if people from other nations won't come because they could be denied care if injured, that event could be canceled or moved. A huge revenue loss for America. 

But, okay, instead of possibly spending a fraction of a percent on caring for people, lets toss several BILLIONS to fund putting lawyers and a judge at EVERY medical center in America. And if someone needs emergency medical attention, unconscious and bleeding out, we can pause life saving care to have a full court trial. FOR EVERY PATIENT 100% of the time. 

So if you have a heart attack, instead of saving your life, medical care can wait until after your hearing.

"But I'm an American."

PROVE IT.

Better be able to prove it even when you're unconscious and seconds from death... whoops, too long, ah well. Next! 

That's what MAGA wants. Full court trials before treatment for EVERY person seeking medical care anywhere in the United States. You can believe that only people with illegal status will suffer, but honestly EVERYONE who doesn't have a private personal physician on call 24/7 is going to suffer. Meaning the billionaires will be okay, but everyone else is screwed. But hey, at least we'll spend a few billion to hire lawyers and judges in places where there's barely money for a doctor and nurse. Excellent spending, as always, save 1 million dollars by spending 600 Billion. Great economic idea. 

🤦

That's my reply ^

Not pro-life

The same SCOTUS that ruled against abortion ruled in favor of not feeding pregnant people, newborns, infants, and children. 

Republicans are NOT pro-life and need to be very clear about that. 

Planning to destroy healthcare is also NOT pro-life. 

Time to be honest that the current US Government wants the birthrate to tank.

Imagine Being A Writer #IWSG

I didn't imagine the downfall of NaNoWriMo. 

Actually, when I first started publishing, I hadn't heard of them. Still, a bit of a shock that it happened. (I don't disagree. The safety of children, and everyone really, must come first. Still, an International organization with so many members crumbled virtually overnight. 🤯 ) 

I got my start in poetry. Did pretty well. Met some incredible people as result. (Some who are no longer alive, at least one who is regularly in US news politics still today.) 

Horror was my favorite genre to write in. I had a 3-book series that was about to be a "deal," before I graduated high school. But the publishing house went under. And then I moved away for college (PENN STATE) and the box with the manuscripts was lost. And then the 3.5 floppy 💾 was destroyed. 

Nothing has turned out how I ever imagined it. I work for/with another writer sometimes. I was working on a collaboration. I have a dark YA that has been in the works for years, but it'll definitely be a banned book if any publishers ever pick it up. I could self publish, but I know I don't have the clout to get it to the right YA audiences. (Assuming such clout exists.) 

Getting back to the question, I thought it'd be 90% about writing. I thought getting an agent or publisher would be much easier. (Like my other experiences.) I had high hopes. I had positive energy, backed with evidence as things had gone smoothly. 

Don't let any time traveler go back and tell younger me what happens. She needs hope to survive. But, if there's a better future coming, and some time traveler could come give me a dash of hope right now, I could really use that. 

Bad surprises. Soul crushing. Uphill battles I never could have imagined and absolutely had no preparation to fight.

Review: House of Dynamite 

Three excellent beginnings. No climax, no ending. 

"What happens if a missle is launched at the US?" 

(The movie doesn't answer this. It asks it, basically, three times. The movie president is, umm, not the current... um... in the movie, the White House has an East Wing. And, in the movie, no one asks if the missle came from within. So it's a FICTIONAL movie, to be clear, it is not "torn from the headlines." It is not political in that sense.)
