It's hard to stomach the commentary on Reddit. I glanced at that thread and could post examples of this; in short you have a lot of speculative, off-the-cuff, freeform-braindump-type advice giving and opinions. I have a lot of trouble with Reddit although HN folks have mentioned certain subreddits have articulate people in them with interesting back and forths.
Yes, though, the spirit of the thread is correct: the health care costs and insurance mechanisms are absurd and hit the lower-middle class the hardest.
- freehunter 8y ago>certain subreddits have articulate people in them with interesting back and forths Very, very few. Even on some of the "deep" subreddits, they went off the rails years ago and are now echo chambers where the most insightful comments are just re-statements of the article's main point. The closest thing you get is the heavily moderated subreddits like askscience or history or space, etc. But even then, good luck navigating any discussion, because 9 out of 10 comments will be "this comment was deleted by a moderator", with a few now-contextless comments thrown in here and there.
