r/tuesday This lady's not for turning Dec 02 '24

Semi-Weekly Discussion Thread - December 2, 2024

INTRODUCTION

/r/tuesday is a political discussion sub for the right side of the political spectrum - from the center to the traditional/standard right (but not alt-right!) However, we're going for a big tent approach and welcome anyone with nuanced and non-standard views. We encourage dissents and discourse as long as it is accompanied with facts and evidence and is done in good faith and in a polite and respectful manner.

PURPOSE OF THE DISCUSSION THREAD

Like in r/neoliberal and r/neoconnwo, you can talk about anything you want in the Discussion Thread. So, socialize with other people, talk about politics and conservatism, tell us about your day, shitpost or literally anything under the sun. In the DT, rules such as "stay on topic" and "no Shitposting/Memes/Politician-focused comments" don't apply.

It is my hope that we can foster a sense of community through the Discussion Thread.

IMAGE FLAIRS

r/Tuesday will reward image flairs to people who write an effort post or an OC text post on certain subjects. It could be about philosophy, politics, economics, etc... Available image flairs can be seen here. If you have any special requests for specific flairs, please message the mods!

The list of previous effort posts can be found here

Your experience, while obviously a bad one, is not the typical of the way most people feel about their experiences. While struggles with the insurance company are not allowed, the overwhelming majority of people are satisfied with their coverage. That is not what a 'fucked' healthcare system looks like.

Oh cool, then I guess I should be totally satisfied with the way the system works then. Thank you for letting me know that they don't try to kill all the babies, only some.

You might consider that your experience is not a systemic problem if most people don't have a similar one.

Also the stats you are quoting include people who haven't gotten sick or injured. So they haven't even had to actually deal with their insurance companies. The article even states the satisfaction rate of insurance goes down dramatically when people actually get sick or injured. So it doesn't prove at all what you think it does.

Dramatically....from 80 to 70%. The overwhelming majority of those with fair or poor health, in other words.
