It's not a surprise anymore when every medical is 3000% inflated by default

They got the print all wrong.

...SMBs are already illegal so long as you went to the emergency room, or went to an in-network hospital. The fuck is he talking about?

Don’t worry, I’m sure that he has concepts of a plan already.

Did even his supporters think that was going to be true?

There's nothing to think; this is literally something he did in his first term. He's now undoing it for ~~Putin~~ reasons.

Geez man, I thought trump would have great with healthcare. I can't believe he's not. This is an outrage!

[–] ripcord@lemmy.world 4 points 6 hours ago

Who knew that health care was so hard?

[–] Botzo@lemmy.world 11 points 13 hours ago (1 children)

By "we" of course, he means shareholders. So, no surprises anymore, your bill will be astronomical every time!

[–] henfredemars@infosec.pub 4 points 12 hours ago

In total the procedure costs… How much money do you have? Alright I’m expanding that to cover your projected income for the next 30 years… And here you go!

I can't believe they made it thru till today

The budget cuts have left them empty and hollow

I know in time we'll find this is no surprise

The hospital we used to go

What bills will come? No one knows.

Elon musks left us high and dry

I know in time we'll find this is no surprise
