@eladar saidWhy is it culture ??
I think this covid thing brings to light something very strange in the US. At least it is strange to me.
If I get sick, I go to my doctor or go to an urgent care. This is because I am not of the lowest socio economic group.
The poor go directly to emergency rooms at hospitals if they get sick. The poorest people go to the most expensive option because they will not actually pay for the services they receive.
It is actually their culture that overloads hospitals.
Wouldn't a more accurate description of what you pointed out better be a reflection of your current health care system.
Perhaps improving Affordable Health Care (stop calling it Obamacare) might reduce the number of "freebies" you aptly pointed out ?
It seems that the term "culture" has become a very convenient go-to term. 🤔

@eladar saidHow about taking your vaunted, sanctified white "culture" and come up with a healthcare system that takes care of these people?

You just like bitching about people not like you.
You DO understand that they are people too, don't you?

I was starting to think I was the only one beating that drum.
@suzianne saidYou mean I need to change minority culture so that they stop being thieves and start being law abiding citizens that show up to work on time?

Sorry, that is out of my power.
@cliff-mashburn saidAnd no, that's not racist at all.
Indeed. I was at Loma Linda Medical Center, a huge top-notch state of the art facility run by the 7th day Adventists. The waiting rooms on every floor I went to were filled with people that obviously had no insurance and weren't going to pay a dime. Buncha tattooed foul-mouthed thuggish looking vato locos all over the place.
@eladar saidNo, I mean you need to petition your great white hope politicians to simply do the right thing.

@eladar saidPerhaps you and your Republican buddies can just get the hell out of the way.
Funny how with Obama Care things have not changed.
Time to get off your knees and wipe off your chin.
Maybe we should get "BernieCare" going?
No, no, no, your Republican übermenschen don't give a damn about anything that doesn't do anything for themselves. Stop being the concrete blocks in the road.
@eladar saidAgain with your claim that blacks have lower IQ?
All? Of course not. There are those that have extremely low IQ or severe mental issues.
But a majority of the poor do not fit this description. Most blew their chance at getting an education because they did not value education and blew off school. Many also have issues with authority in general and blame others for their lack of financial success.
Being a drug addict a ...[text shortened]... ng a life based on what feels good at the moment does not lay a good foundation for success in life.
I don't see how you live with yourself and your complete disregard for humanity.
