You're the one picking on me for just handing out some advice to someone.
>I think the fact that you are not angry about this situation
Where did I ever say I was OK with the state of affairs here? You're projecting your own biases and assumptions onto me.
All I did was give some advice to someone who is a victim of a crappy situation. You lashed out at me for not coming up with some magical solution to fix all the ails of the American healthcare system, or instead just whining about how bad the system is, instead of offering constructive advice for his particular situation.
Suppose you need inhalers, and you're living here in America with our crappy healthcare system, and suddenly your inhalers cost $300 instead of $30. But you make $100k+ at a tech company, like so many people here. Someone suggests taking a vacation to Canada or Europe or whatever and stocking up. What are you going to do, so "no!! All the poorer people here can't afford that, so I'm going to pay full price for these inhalers even though I'm going to Canada next week!" Or are you going to take advantage of your ability to travel and save some money on inhalers? Personally, I don't see how it's morally justifiable to not stock up on inhalers on your trip to Canada, and instead enrich the domestic companies that are screwing you over.
- thulecitizen 7y agoI hear you. And yeah I see what you mean about the magical solution.
