Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

since theyre so concerned im sure theyll ramp up the preventative care as that itself saves a metric buttload of money... right? right?
Saves a bunch of money for you. That money should be in their pockets, you see? So, to discourage you from saving it, they will add another cost to your medical care.
Long live the shareholders.
You will also need to fix PTO and work practices that deny paid time off since most clinics only operate during bankers/work hours.
Speaking of PTO, most employers don’t offer sick banks any more. You either use your time from your 2-3 week vacation bank as a sick bank or you don’t get paid time off. You can either get sick or have a vacation, not both. Even hospitals engage this system with their employees, not offering a time bank for anything medical. Worse, they’ll force you off on days with too many staff and auto pull from that bank, depleting it.
So it’s not as simple as just ramping up preventative care. You will still have people trying to use the Emergency Room on the weekends and thus not really getting help for basic problems instead of seeing their doctors.
Funny that... https://www.reuters.com/legal/us-supreme-court-hear-obamacare-preventive-care-dispute-2025-01-10/
Also, I'm sure this asshat supports more regulations around healthy food... surely
