Quote Until October 2017, The Federalist had a "black crime" tag, which aggregated articles related to criminal activity by black Americans.[19][20][21] Dan McLaughlin of National Review, a former Federalist contributor, said that the phrasing of the "black crime" tag was "unfortunate," https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Federalist_(website) You have some strange reading habits.

D Angelo Barksdale Posted December 10, 2019 Share Posted December 10, 2019 Editor: We need another story about antisemitism on the left. How about 'Bernie is a massive antisemite' ? Me: Erm... He's actually Jewish himself. Editor: Doesn't matter, he could still be a massive antisemite. Me exasperated: His relatives were literally murdered during the holocaust.

NotThePars Posted December 10, 2019 Share Posted December 10, 2019 Can’t believe it’s still Bernie that’s the least racist contender for the Democratic nomination. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Savage Henry Posted December 11, 2019 Share Posted December 11, 2019 I can't click on that link for some reason, but what's the gist behind noted Jew Bernie Sanders being an anti-semite? Curious if there's any more to that than, "he hangs around with the goyim too much."It’s in the Federalist, which is increasingly unhinged. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now after insurance (which she pays $200 a month for) that went down to roughly $7k, but it gives you lads a decent idea of how much you'll be looking at when the mop topped dogfucker wins tonight. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Our insurance is $12k a year with us paying $5k and her work paying $7k. $6k deductible (excess, basically). 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We had fun at the start of the year when the missus had to get surgery and because we were at the start of the year and couldn't possibly have met our deductible, the hospital charged us $1,400 up front. And we didn't find out until the day of the surgery. The whole system is fucked up and there's no real incentive for anyone to get well. Everything is billable and focused on profit so rather than the NHS wanting you out of a bed in a ward and home, why wouldn't a hospital in the US not recommend staying another night at another few thousand dollars a pop? I'm suspicious of everyone involved in the medical profession, which is a really counter-intuative way to think. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm suspicious of everyone involved in the medical profession, which is a really counter-intuative way to think. It's basically a cartel. We worked that out when we found out the c-section rate in Miami was 64% of live births. Was very apparent that our quack hadn't bothered his arse reading the birthing plan he urged us to give him, and wanted her cut because it's another procedure that can be charged for. OR trolley appeared outside the room for no good reason. If we hadn't had a doula (god bless her; an angel in 4ft tall Jewish lady form) I'm convinced he'd have gotten his way and my wife would have had a C-section despite being vehemently against it. Totally wanted a natural birth; didn't even have anaesthesia, the mentalist. She got it, but not without a fight. If you ever see Dr Jose Bendayan at Mt Sinai Hospital, Miami Beach, please punch him in the face very hard on our behalf. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

D Angelo Barksdale Posted December 12, 2019 Share Posted December 12, 2019 I reckon that they should give you a mock receipt every time you use the NHS. Similar to the medical bills in the US. Tell you how much it would have cost you. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamieThomas Posted December 12, 2019 Share Posted December 12, 2019 (edited) Cartel is absolutely the right word. One of the bills had "anesthetist - $1400", then under it "anesthetist - $1400". Wee mistake? Nah, one was for the anesthetist, and one for his assistant. Was there an assistant? f**k KNOWS, SHE WAS KNOCKED OUT. An absolute scam, man.
