President Biden: The NEW one and only politics thread

In the specific example you cited (“three mental health doctors”), they aren’t shopping around for multiple providers for the same issue because their employer-provided insurance pays a pitifully small portion of the bills compared to even 10 years ago, and the waiting list probably precludes it anyway. Maybe they have a psychiatrist and a psychologist, but that’s because forces way above them long ago separated out prescribing meds from talk therapy, not because they want an extra copay to feel special.

More generally, they don’t pay attention to 95 percent of the stuff we go on about in this thread, mine and yours alike. There’s a generalized dislike of politicians that exists as a background hum. If they’re worried about life they hate the president, whoever he may be. If things are going good they ignore him.

 

Why, oh why, oh why, can't we redirect Hurricane Hillary to crush Mar A Lago???????????????

 

Yeah, about this — it’s spot-on.

My son has a psychiatrist (who doesn’t accept insurance) for his meds, a clinical social worker (who doesn’t accept insurance) for his weekly therapy sessions, a psychologist (who doesn’t accept insurance) who did his neuro-psych work-up, and an educational advocate on retainer since his school decided to fuck around on providing special-education services.

This has been going on for two-plus years, and we’re finally turning the corner where we may not NEED all of this.

If we had waited for someone who accepted our insurance, we’d still be waiting.

 

My guess is 305. He got the fat sucked out of him sometime between 2021 and 2023.

Now he just looks like a grimy smelly drawn-out puddle of sweat.

 

The example that I provided was specific, and I wasn’t applauding the person’s approach. I was questioning whether that person actually needed that level of care.

 

There's a 100 percent chance Alma's hypothetical person is liberal, yes?

 

Why don't they accept insurance?
Was not aware of this problem at all, but that's tragically absurd.

 

I won’t pretend to speak to Creosote’s circumstance, but my son has seen a private-pay only psychiatrist the last several years. It indeed sucks that we can’t use insurance, but it means he actually got seen by somebody instead of going on a years-long waiting list (the monopoly insurance provider for our state squeezes doctors in a way that makes Wal Mart jealous) and that doctor actually takes the time to listen to what he is being told and develop a thorough plan for adjusting and updating meds. This is still more cost efficient and far more effective than a week in a psych ward. We’ve been down that road with him twice and pray we never have to again.

Oh, and my son votes somewhere to the right of YF, so Alma needn’t worry about him being a liberal squish craving affirmation.

 

Just a reminder that Trump's manifest unfitness for office extends far beyond his four separate impending trials.

 

Here's a video in which Fatfuck legitimately does weigh the 238-339 pounds his "doctor" has claimed.

1997.

 

Now that I can renew my driver’s license online, I will have hair, look 32 and weigh 170 pounds until 2030.

 

Those two idiots jerked each other off afterward,
but you have to be a Fox subscriber to see that clip.
