r/tuesday This lady's not for turning 25d ago

Semi-Weekly Discussion Thread - December 9, 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

So, despite what the CEO killer did, his main goal was achieved: He sent a very loud political message and now we are discussing our healthcare system and it's genuine flaws.

The genuine flaws are there because of government. Less government not more government is the solution.

I'm sure there are some issues that could be resolved with less government, but I try not to boil it down to "less government not more" and just look at the issue as is.

After recent events, I think it would be healthier if we added a regulation requiring health insurance companies to publically show their denial rates when purchasing healthcare options.

How can I, as a shopper, make an informed purchasing decision when they hide information like that?
