He joins his dad and older brother in the ranks of those without medical insurance. -
lnxw48 (Linux Walt) (lnxw48)'s status on Wednesday, 04-Mar-2015 19:10:26 CET lnxw48 (Linux Walt) Legacy of #ACA: required to buy medical insurance, but if we could afford to buy it, no one would have to require it. #SCOTUS really screwed up when they approved the individual mandate. "Punish those who cannot afford coverage!" Little chance that we'll ever get a real healthcare system (like the rest of the civilized world) now. Roland Häder likes this. -
Roland Häder (roland)'s status on Wednesday, 04-Mar-2015 19:17:13 CET Roland Häder @lnxw48 I hope the same for #Germany as our #unsystem here is mostly driven by corporates (increased rate). #eGK is the "elektronische Gesundheitskarte" which acts as an access token to centralized large database servers. #notGood -

Charles Roth MPC (encycl)'s status on Wednesday, 04-Mar-2015 19:27:59 CET Charles Roth MPC @lnxw48 single payer would be so much better. I’m on Medicare now and it’s great. $25,000 in bills discounted to $14,000, then Medicare paid all but $300.
lnxw37 repeated this. -

lnxw48 (Linux Walt) (lnxw48)'s status on Wednesday, 04-Mar-2015 19:43:51 CET lnxw48 (Linux Walt) @encycl I only know what he tells me, but he says he has to pay in FL. In CA, taxpayers paid for him. -
Charles Roth MPC (encycl)'s status on Thursday, 05-Mar-2015 02:37:46 CET Charles Roth MPC @lnxw48 that could be. WA and CA seem to be exceptionally progressive.
