Yes…it should. The only answer to this problem is universal healthcare…period. if this were implemented poor people will be in crippling debt the rest of their lives and once again the middle class will eat even higher insurance premiums to make up for it.
Big healthcare will get aggressive around settling it’s debts and it will squeeze blood from a stone if it has to.
People on Lemmy seem to think Hamas just wants to bring unicorns and rainbows to the region. When in reality, they’d stone most of the users here for their views.
It’s all weird. I don’t know what kind of social engineering they did to make it OK to kill 1000 civilians, but their campaign was wildly successful.

It’s been a systemic dismantling of democracy that Biden didn’t do anything to fix. We’re fucked…royally fucked.

I don’t know why anyone is surprised by this. It’s been the plan since the insurrection failed. They need to nail down R support with an iron fist single they’ll never get the popular vote again.
That lack of anything Isreal related is fucking frustrating.
Not really…the average person doesn’t care. It’s two bullies throwing rocks at each other in a sandbox halfway around the world. If anything, the Palestinian protests of late made the US care even less about it. IMO, just pull out of that whole shit show and let them sort it out on their own.
