Income is a factor.

You have to have the ability to navigate the system the time to do so and the mobility to access the services.

If the Republicans had spent the past ten years trying to make the system work instead of trying to take it apart...

A good read on the gaps in the system, difficulties navigating a hodge-podge of programs, and some ideas on how to streamline/remedy things:

Not much of a Safety Net: Millions of Americans lost their Health Care and Apartments when COVID-19 Took their Jobs

Obamacare literally saved my life.

I didn’t qualify for a really good plan until I got fired and qualified for unemployment.
Then I got a Cadillac plan called MEDICAID.

Cardiology
Orthopedic care
Ophthalmology
Dental
Nephrologist
Psychotherapy
Podiatry

I’m able to navigate the system because I have a masters degree in strategic communication.
Nothing like getting bureaucrats to WANT to help you.

After a year I also got rid of all my white doctors except the only woman, the cardiologist who was the first doctor to diagnose SVT (Supra Ventricular Tachycardia) which I have had recurring events since my 20s. Every other doc chalked it up to anxiety attacks.

I moved my care to Howard Hospital and chose specific practices within the system based on the theorem most of these doctors have old black grandfathers and when grandpa says something hurts they tend to believe him.

But I have a couple cars which gives me mobility and thereby increased my options.

Only thing that sucked was having to be personally broke but that was tempered by having no rent or mortgage and the wife on retirement.

You do what you have to do.

I am opposed to diagnoses by people who have not worked directly with the person about whom the diagnosis is offered.

Still, this is an interesting hypothesis:


Watch the video of him from today at Arlington.

This the reason the GOP is pushing the Joe Biden ‘Cognitive decline’ stuff they keep pushing through the Bernie Bros.

I would guess Trump does Abbott test.

How many false negatives do you suppose he has had?


Less than 10%, like everyone

but very likely none

Springer is allowing free downloads of more than 300 of their textbooks, across all disciplines. I strongly encourage folks to take a look.

25% were not very surprised.
5% were somewhat surprised.
7% were very surprised.

This Memorial Day, I’m thinking about what images in array or montage accompanying the words, “human stock capital” best convey the ethos of the republican party as it exists today.

Hart Island

Baby Cages

San Ysidro

Tyson food plants

Elmhurst Hospital

Bread lines

Fulfillment centers

Federal pens

Pickers in fields of strawberries and tomatoes

Nazi rallies in US cities

In situ bodies of those gunned down in public

People lighting the gasses coming out the spouts of their kitchen sinks on fire

Am so glad that sentence ended with kitchen sink taps! 

Have a fine Memorial Day y'all.

Those frontotemporal dementia symptoms... maybe,  but I'd say "loss of empathy" is not one of DT's symptoms.   Don't think he ever had any to lose.
