Welcome

We're not The Onion! Not affiliated with them in any way! Not operated by them in any way! All the news here is real!

The Rules

Posts must be:

  1. Links to news stories from...
  2. ...credible sources, with...
  3. ...their original headlines, that...
  4. ...would make people who see the headline think, “That has got to be a story from The Onion, America’s Finest News Source.”

Comments must abide by the server rules for Lemmy.world and generally abstain from trollish, bigoted, or otherwise disruptive behavior that makes this community less fun for everyone.

And that’s basically it!

Do you know what the majority of debt in this country is? Health care.

Get sick, go broke.

They’re using credit cards to buy essentials like groceries and gas.

We don’t have a spending problem, we have a wage problem. And people like you blaming the poor for the circumstances that people like you put them in is gross

That sounds like we have a Health cost problem. No reason for some meds to cost so much. We also get meds advertised to us, so they spend some money on that instead of lowering prices. Our health system I agree sucks.
