You said ...

But I'm on the fence with type 2, since it's a completely preventable, and reversible lifestyle illness that only requires patient education and accountability.

Someone refusing to look after their own health shouldn't be a burden on the healthcare system or taxpayers, IMO.

I didn't 'misinterpret' anything. You blamed people for having type 2 diabetes, added a quote you took out of context, and generally alluded to the assumption that anyone with type 2 diabetes should be left to their own devices.

So a bit more info on this ... if you look up the average of the demographic that tries to game a system it usually sits somewhere between 2-5%. Unfortunately the powers that be have decided that even tho 95-98% of people follow the rules, everyone has to be vetted (and often denied) so the 'bad' ones can be filtered out.

Untold b/trillions are spent doing this, far surpassing what it would cost to just have basic vetting where people in need would be able to access funds/services within 30 days.

Edit to add -- This is ONLY good for individuals. All corporate entities should be held to a minimum wait of 6 months to be completely vetted.

Yup. There is little difference in Canada (except for universal healthcare, which is decimated across the board rn).

Honestly, if they were that far ahead they wouldn't be going nuts with the voter removal bullshit.

The orange asshole is scared he may not win, so is hedging his bets by having Black, Brown, unhoused and poor people removed (this list is who often doesn't have so-called 'proper ID').

This has absolutely nothing to do with Israel.

Please stay on topic.

Your lips are moving and you're complaining.

I didn't 'misunderstand' anything.

This is all on you buddy.

Poor you.

But him knowing that and continuing to fight until his last breath is fucking amazing.

I'm pretty sure I couldn't do the same.

Looks like the Liberals are following the US Democrats' playbook.

I wonder if this is a warning shot over the IS militants' bow to warn them off attacking Israel?

Canada currently has a shortage of physicians and other healthcare workers, and 6 million Canadians don't have a family Dr (source).

But you want all those people - even ones living in remote regions with zero access to physicians-- to be forced to toe the line you've drawn in the sand?

I imagine you support the Conservatives as well.

I always appreciate it when people screenshot tables with no attribution. 🙄

Opposition Conservative leader Pierre Poilievre, whose party is ahead in national polls by a wide margin, does not support the legislation.

Canada needs to be reminded of this come next election.

I get that there are verifiable threats here, but giving that piece of shit military vehicles and air transport -- which he would point to as his 'right' as President-elect -- would almost kill any chance of him losing the election.

America is FUBAR'd. :/

Pretty shitty actually, especially when politicians don't think we have the maturity and competency to manage our own heath care.

How do you feel about Competency and Maturity?

As always, ACAB.

Money from being a politician. Dude's become a multi-millionaire from politics, not work.

I got "and" and "Nature".

The rest I have to look up.
