Putting aside your arrogant "you can't possibly know better than me, I worked at A BIG COMPANY in the industry" bullshit, that was a strawman no matter how much or how little I know or comprehend.

Since you apparently aren't aware, this is the definition

straw man

An argument or opponent set up so as to be easily refuted or defeated

What my argument was and is: the vast majority of health care funding is not going towards record keeping. That most of it is going to corporate profits is the main failing of the ACA.

The argument of your strawman version of me: The ACA is bad because record keeping doesn't matter.

you just have to write his name. Same for Trump in Colorado

Are you sure? I read elsewhere on Lemmy that he's ineligible for voting for, not just literally appearing on the ballot.

Besides, I don't know if Maine and Colorado are amongst them, but some states don't allow write-ins.

Family is more important than money.

Wanna buy an extra brother, then? I've been having compatibility problems with one of mine for over 37 years now and am looking to downsize.

Nah, I use a sleep apnea machine and my cheek NEVER looks like that!

Admittedly, the fact that I have a big bushy beard might have something to do with it 🤔

I'm still enjoying the old one, thank you very much.

if I never sweated on them I would be fine for fogging up

There's your solution then: play hockey as lazily as you possibly can 😛

Yay, another strawman! I never said that record keeping isn't important. I said that it's not where anywhere near the majority of the healthcare funds are going and neither is treatment.

The giveaway was mostly to fund electronic medical records and the upgrade to standards in line with the WHO documentation standard

Bullshit. The vast majority of health care funding goes to health insurance companies profits, not fucking record keeping 🤦

The money that was provided

I'm talking about the money STILL being provided every day of every year. Whichever cherry picked one time payment you pick, it's nothing compared to that.

I was at a top ten health in the US org

Ah, so THAT'S why you're so adamant about defending the ACA! You're one of the ACTUAL primary beneficiaries!

when the ACA was approved, we really started to make a lot of big jumps in progress

That's an odd way to spell profits.

Not all criticism of corporate democrat greed is "both sidesing". It's a fact that they are raking in tens if not hundreds of millions of dollars in legal bribes from the insurance industry every election season.

It's also a fact that the ACA passed with 0 Republican votes, meaning that the ones who were responsible for making it extremely lucrative for the donors and not universal single payer were all democrats.

Just because the ones on the other side of the aisle are much worse (and I'll not for a second deny that. They're a literal fascist party) doesn't mean that the DNC leadership cares more about you than their owner donors.

Biden even said that he would veto M4A, based on a false talking point directly from PHRMA.

democratic party (...) agenda of allowing people to live a quiet life (...) without major medical complications bankrupting them

Yeah, no. While significantly better than the previous system, the ACA was a huge giveaway to the medical insurance industry.

Which makes sense when you consider how the corporate Dems recieve more in legal bribes from that same industry than Republicans do.
