    That's true about those drugs reducing the effectiveness of BC....I wonder if doctors even let women know about that.



    Then there is the FACT that no one should be forced to take drugs.

    In the country, the "Greatest country in the World" medical bills are the biggest cause of poverty …...and righties do NOT want to do anything about it ...they'd rather just ridicule and denigrate the poor..

    Medical bills are not causing poverty

    Dumb personal decisions by the chronic poor cause poverty

    The chronic poor never made enough money by woking to fille bankruptcy

    Many have been on the dole since dropping out of school and have avoided the debt trap by not having a credit rating to begin with

    It is all about the excuses for the left.

    I would be curious to know what % of the chronic poor became poor because of a catastrophic illness vs the % which are chronically poor due to their own laziness, poor choices, irresponsibility, etc. I would guess the latter vastly outnumber the former.

    As far as lesser illnesses / medical bills, those shouldn't bankrupt anyone responsible enough to live within their means and/or have a little set aside in savings. Plus the little detail that responsible people would have health insurance..... But now I've said "responsible" twice in one paragraph, so I'm sure the lefties here are :rage: :angered: :rage:

    Medical catastrophes cause huge financial loss. Filing for bankruptcy over an illness or accident shouldn't happen in the "World's Greatest Country"..

    Bankruptcy or not, even who don't/file for bankruptcy are thrown into poverty.


    But you and your fellow righties can live in your little dream world where reality never enters...it's all unicorns and rainbows to righties who can't face facts..

    They can cause losses if you fail to prepare for a serious illness

    Finding a job that offers good health benefits is a good place to start

    But oftentimes that requires staying in school and not getiing busted of felonies

    No, most Americans do not set aside 100 of thousands of dollars in case of a medical emergency.




    Finding AFFORDABLE health care would be a better place to start.



    You really think that the ONLY people who have suffered from huge medical bills were ALL high school drop outs and felons.....wouldn't that be a Really Stupid thing to think ?

    In America since WWII the best health insurance was offered through employers

    Not everyone was smart enough to accept less pay up front in exchange for better benefits later on when rhey really need them

    Or to join insurance pools that cpuld provide the same protection

    Too many of us in Ametica live for today only

    You have no sense. If you did, you would have a valid argument.

    ...and steadily rose in price..

    Utter hogwash.



    Like ACA ?

    So? That isn't going to change....human nature stays pretty much on course. And it's no reason to denigrate the poor or charge them huge amounts for health care.

    ..and you did not refute one word of my post :)

    Dont blame insurance companies for that

    Customefs expected to pay little or nothing out of pocket even for minor illnesses

    And the all wanted 5-star coverage

    Plus new medical technologies that also cost more

    Then the unelected judges ruled that Hospital emergency rooms have to treat the deadbeats for free - even illegal aliens

    And those losses are passed on to paying customers

    I most certainly will and note the usual righty defense of their Corporation as God meme.


    No, they don't. They expect to pay a reasonable amount

    ...and things like diabetes medication that went up 1,000 % simply to make more profits.

    So are the unbelievable wages of the insurance CEO's

    You are mistaken on every count

    Liberals in government cannot furnish 5-star healthcare to deadbeats no matter how high they raise taxes on the rich

    Yuppies ARE (or were, since that hasn't been a thing since 1853) Bogans. Or rather, today's Yuppy is the Bogan. They were disliked then, and they're still disliked today. It's the pretension and the display of status which attracts our derision. Whether that's via a giant McMansion in a new estate, or a nauseatingly hip converted loft in the inner city.

    Yet any halfway responsible mother manages to feed her kids at roughly the same time every day. And you know, keep them alive via her attention to essential routine.

    Seriously, are we down to this tiny special plead now?

    They both have exactly the same opportunity, yes. The poor kid could excel at the local public school and win a Harvard Scholarship, the rich kid could bomb out of her/his private school and end up on drugs. It's all down to the parenting - and good parenting is FREE.

    You'll recall that academically selective public high school in NY (the subject of a thread) has something like 40+% of it's student body derived from impoverished families. They earned those places via application to education. Which is FREE.

    Probably much surer than a 'guess'.
