this would be a great time to deal with the health insurance industry

@db because if the companies are getting 40k a year from these people, it's going somewhere, and I doubt it's "a piggy bank to pay for their future care"

@dictatordave @patris Traditionally your family cared, but we kind of fucked that up in the 20th century to allow more labor mobility, so the government stepped in and with Social Security you could be comfortable that if you moved half way across the country you wouldn't need to rely on your family to take care of you when you got old.

@sickburnbro @patris poors and boomers who supported kang nigger deserve this
this is the result of their politics
we could just get rid of nigger care but of course thatd be antisemetic to stop letting banks and the gov run healthscare

@dictatordave @patris But my guess is that all these insane costs in healthcare isn't due to boomers. While they're expensive, I just don't think the cost of their care has exploded since like 2000.
The most logical answer is illegals and shit like PrEP

@dictatordave @patris yes, but I'm telling you - I don't think that's any different than it was 20 years ago.
I think the system is ok with you blaming boomers, when it's really the system failing under 100 million illegals that aren't paying into the system.

@sickburnbro @patris boomers are spending like a quarter million a year in med expenses the last few years of their lives on average
and yea people shouldnt take the femoid anti natal pill or be a stupid cunt so they have kids to care for them

@sickburnbro @dictatordave There's also a big heaping helping of plain old bureaucracy sickness underlying the upward spiral in costs. Hospitals are bigger and nicer. Construction costs more. More administration. More insurance. More taxes. More lawsuits. More payouts. More drugs. More disposable products. More expensive schooling. More beaks getting wet at every level, and way more levels.
Market forces were removed entirely from Healthcare in my lifetime. I think we're nearing some kind of singularity. Things can't go on like they have.
The labor and delivery room my last child was born in was 3x larger than the one my first was born in. Brand new building, standing on prime real estate. Totally unnecessary bloat everywhere, with no functioning limits.
But it's bankers, lawyers, and insurance people at the bottom. As it always is.

@patris @dictatordave right, and I'm sure the new building has super cushy offices for their 3x grown "administrative staff"
it's just like colleges - it used to be a thin layer of basically maintenance staff on professors, and now it's administration outnumbering faculty like 2:1

@dictatordave @patris for sure, but if there are 100 million illegals in the country, that's worse than maybe the 1 million homeless junkies.

@patris @sickburnbro agreed
dont forget that homeless junkies also treat hospitals as hotel stays with free drugs
because they do and then we foot the bill
