It isn't fair whatsoever. But making fun of problems that affect Americans, the majority of which never voted for Trump, is a pretty low blow. We didn't decide for this to happen, I don't think it's fair that our issues should be poked at in jest. It's not offending the true culprit, it's just another reminder of how miserable circumstances are here. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most don't know what their bill is until they leave and they get hit with a $1 million bill. And it's not like they ever take their bills seriously, even if it were a reasonable amount.

Yes, I agree on that, you will not read any comment coming from me - making fun of the situation and the people dying. 1 minute ago, justhislife said: Let's not act like affordability was ever an issue for Americans in healthcare.

I'm not sure if I understood your comment right... not being American I'm not sure about the procedure once you're at the hospital, but they might ask you about the options, no? and if getting in is already a lot of money, I can imagine some people choosing the cheapest treatment option instead of this one, if it's possible...

They won't always ask about options no. And they don't tell prices unless asked for the most part. Even then people choose the expensive option without knowing or even caring how they will repay it.

But a whole lot of uninsured people did vote for him. And majority of people didn't even vote at all. For those people it's on them. I do feel bad for the people who voted for somebody else or those who weren't old enough to vote. But in the age of the internet, I don't feel bad for the ignorant people who didn't vote or those who voted for him because they hate socialism and can't stand the ACA.

I understand that, but it isn't really the point. America's leadership did something stupid, and people poke fun at issues that don't affect America's leadership, just Americans, in response. So it feels very off putting. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

LGMonster95 13,704 Posted July 1, 2020 Share Posted July 1, 2020 I know Remdesivir is just something to help you recover faster but did this actually had good results in the end? I'm glad that we find more and more working treatments. As for the US, I'm really not surprised at all. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
