right, and i understand you didnt invoke evolution specifically and am thus going to plead Dobzhansky and implicit bias given our conversations yesterday.
Who pays for your medicine?
Actually, how's it work for anyone that's chronically ill? How do you pay for your meds and food and stuff?
no dude i am the same way right now
Yeah, I covered that bit but didn't say it was from du beauvoir, mostly because I forgot the name
Caffeine will make them worse too. They can last for a few hours or come off and on for a few days.
I presume it depends on your insurance. I have a dreadful feeling without insurance you pay everything yourself.
You don't understand if you were robbed by a minority its because of your bias!

You generally go broke if you don't have the money.
Leading cause of brankruptcy here is medical expenses.
Hospitals have to treat you when you show up in the ER so thats health care for the poor here.
Charities pick up some of the slack for people like Aids sufferers but not nearly enough.
Unless you have good insurance, you're fucked.
I get this too.
Lay off the coffee and get some extra sleep.
Sorry for any confusion, I'm trying to make this easy and transparent instead of the normal terrible neckbeard houserule thing.
What the fuck is wrong with you? Other then a lot?

I don't know HIV works, but generally you go on medicare/medicaid. With most everything if you qualify for them and can't get a job, you get SSI payments, if you're underage it comes from your parent's SSI benefits. If you have a job and can have a job, medicare becomes a secondary (I think?) and you need a primary insurance. Whatever the primary doesn't cover is picked up by the government with either a small co-pay or a massive one depending on what it is.
Generally, though, if you're terminally ill you can't afford to have a job and have to find a way to live off of $600ish a month.
the black/white version of this is so depressing
so many white people in America get this visceral reaction of anger when they see black people "taking" something that they don't "deserve."
I mean, I generally posit that this is what racism is really motivated by, on a fundamental level -- a desire to deny resources to people by rationalizing a group as "undeserving." Politics in general, really, to me seems to be about deciding which individuals or groups are worthy of receiving collective resources, and is thus deeply connected to concepts like "deserving" "earning" "ownership" and so forth, as well as issues like "scarcity."
Which you'll notice is all language that the GOP employs frequently and effectively, and which the much more technocratic, chart-oriented Democrats rarely do.
eddy you are fantastic
Many great directors do. I mean how often did John Ford do a movie about dudes on horses? Or Scorsese making movies about what would DeNiro do in various situations.
Seriously go to 4:04 this guy's wife is telling him she's calling the police! AND HE STILL HELPS THE HOT CHICK STEAL THE BIKE!

If they were both younger, sure.
Well worth taking a 2-minute break at work and fishing out my headphones.
that girl is really hot
I'm not that big on Queen. Like i don't hate them but yeah. not my favorite by far.
Also Comical Ali says Iraq is winning, so they must be.
This went about the way I expected, but I wish they had selected a black actor who matched the white guy in size and stature, rather than age.
Because honestly, the black actor cut a much less intimidating figure. Race surely plays a part here, obviously, but the black actor is simply scrawnier, less physically imposing, and that plays into it as well.
People would have been less emboldened, I believe, if the black actor had been as large as the white actor.
Don't worry about it. I'm just making sure I understand now so it doesn't slow down play at the table.
That's kind of a complicated question.
If you can work, even part-time, you're expected to pay for your stuff yourself (out of pocket or private insurance). If you are low-income and working, you can sometimes qualify for Medicaid, which is funded by the federal government but administered by the individual states. Sometimes the state and local governments have their own programs to supplement Medicaid, too. The city & county of San Francisco have some unusually robust medical care options for poor residents, for instance. But if you're in, say, Colorado Springs, Colorado, there's going to be far fewer options.
If you can't work, then your main option is Social Security Disability. It's a federal program, and you have to show that you are unable to work due to your condition. The payout isn't much (about $800-900 a month). That's meant to cover basic life expenses, not medical expenses It's also notoriously difficult to get on. If you get on Social Security, you also automatically get Medicare, which will cover your medical expenses. Again, there are state and local programs to supplement Social Security Disability.
sorry you went over my head there
Problem is I can't imagine any insurance company paying for HIV medicine for any extended length of time. They'd go bankrupt.
...
Government is the only organisation I'd trust doing right by chronically ill people.
