One Big Happy by Rick Detorie for March 13, 2020

I see the President is going to send a trillion and a half of our money to keep Wall street afloat so tell me again why we cant afford healthcare for all?

Excellent point- perhaps a question of priorities?

And that’s the co-pay.

I spend about that much a month just on prescriptions. Fortunately I live in Canada so I don’t have to directly pay for doctor visits as those expenses are paid for out of the general pool of tax revenue. If I had to pay both i’d either be living on the street or rapidly succumbing to the progression of diabetes as I would have to choose between paying rent, food or medication/medical bills.

For the original way I heard that joke, replace “Used to be” with “Back in the old country”.

I am still paying for dr. bills and hospital bills for my husband who passed away in January and I HAVE insurance. But I have to admit that if I DIDN’T have insurance, my daughter and I would probably be living with my sister, her husband, my mom, my niece, her fiance, the dogs, the cat…..

Only in America.

because it would take about 60 trillion to do that and since the top 1% don’t pay taxes the middle class would be paying for it.
