What are those
- zdragnar 4y agoMoney paid through medicare and medicaid for treatment of the poor and elderly who develop cancer or COPD due to smoking, presumably.
- pc86 4y agoI think this was like the ancap version of concern trolling where you pretend not to know what simple words mean in a specific context to try to make some obtuse political point.
- mcculley 4y agoWhy assume bad faith?
- pc86 4y agoIn the choices between concern trolling and someone literally not being able to parse what "health care dollars" means in this context, the bad faith is a horse and the lack of reading comprehension is a zebra. Possible, sure. But probably not.
- zdragnar 4y agoI assumed the poster was unfamiliar with the American health care system, or only familiar with vagueries and stereotypes. The phrase "health care dollars" probably didn't translate very well, since health care programs such as VA, medicare and medicaid are poorly understood in the US, let alone the rest of the world. Much easier than assuming someone was trolling.
