Listen to Malcolm X if you haven’t. In history, reformation follows revolutionary acts. While there are those who preach peace, there are also those who use violence to achieve peace. Those in power obviously don’t like to shed light on those that may take up violent acts.
I doubt if the french revolution was occuring today that CNN, CBS, The Washington Post, etc, would say anything. And if they did it would be to demonize the acts.
In the wake of the alleged shooting by Luigi Mangione, insurance providers started approving claims, saving lives. I don’t see major networks pointing out that fact.
how much you pay for it? premiums, copays, deductibles? Tied to employment?
It’s my spouse’s insurance from their employer so I’m not certain the cost they pay but the out of pocket max is $1000 annually.
that’s 1k too much already. especially considering that the NHS costs about 4k$ per person per year.
besides the dystopia of it being linked to employment.
I guess good is relative but it’s good for the USA. If my shit had gone down when I had previous insurance I’d probably be bankrupt. The insurance I have now is functioning as intended to protect me from medical risk and provide care at an affordable price.
But I’m not saying it’s better than care plans in other countries because I can’t speak to those.
