I want to emphasize that insurance does not function to GRANT healthcare but to DENY it. Doctors grant healthcare as providers. When they prescribe it, they've granted it. Then insurance steps in and says, "wait a minute." Their only function is to deny medical care. Not pay for it - the patient does that through premiums etc. To deny it. Why do we need a healthcare DENIAL system?

The answer for why corporations need private insurance denials, is because of Hot Coffee, Erin Brokovich - we could class action sue over the bad and contaminated products companies sell us, bc it would be able to be detected. Flint, MI, was caught by testing a kid on Medicare - because they have access to healthcare. The FDA, USDA, etc should actually pay for Medicare for all to GUARANTEE their work in making sure products are safe imo. That includes these shit ass groceries without safety checks. Why should I have to pay for the government's failure to do their job? They should guarentee it and track it so they can do their jobs.

    Can you read two paragraphs to understand how the "quality of food" part of the meme connects to this?

    Yup. I did this before commenting.

    understand how the "quality of food" part of the meme connects to this?

    Nope. Are the grocery stores the insurance companies? the doctors? Maybe the food producers are? Are they denying us… quality?

    You are the first in this post (including OP) to mention food safety, which you appear to have done randomly.

    The meme references quality, which is directly impacted by whether the food is rotten, full of lead, moldy, fermented, dry/squishy, worms/bugs, etc, and that is enforced by testing for quality control and issuing various consequences.

    Ad populum is a fallacy btw. It's okay to have original thoughts 🌈

    Sure. Also plenty of other things that have little to do with safety, as such, and more to do with them being generally nutritious, tasty, fresh vs processed, etc.

    Agreed. Not sure how this is relevant here, though.

    While you’re looking up fallacies, red herring is a good one that this particular comment chain has made me think about.

    Okay, I was referencing the safety aspect. You can tell by the words I used.

    Your narcissism is boring. Other people think other things and aren't extensions of you. Your policing is boring. The gaslighting is boring.

    This is ad populum

    Which you appear to have done randomly.

    You've just acknowledged the connection and even expanded on it here in this most recent comment:

    So I guess we're done here! I've thoroughly explained this to you, held your hand through my PoV as much as someone can get a narcissist to perspective take, and can't do more. Adieu!

    I know. The safety aspect that was tangential at best to the OP, barely a mention in your first comment, but somehow central to your thesis here.

    Your narcissism is boring. Other people think other things and aren't extensions of you. Your policing is boring. The gaslighting is boring.

    Holy projection Batman!

    You are the first in this post (including OP) to mention food safety,

    lol no it isn’t. Ad populum is appeal to a widespread belief. The quoted bit is me pointing out that you are changing the topic.

    Yours is an example of the fallacy fallacy.

    You've just acknowledged the connection and even expanded on it here in this most recent comment:

    Just because there’s a connection doesn’t make it relevant. You seem to have forgotten that the connected bit was buried in a paragraph after a paragraph talking about insurance companies.

    I've thoroughly explained this to you, held your hand through my PoV as much as someone can get a narcissist to perspective take, and can't do more.

    You haven’t. You’ve kinda shown that there is some connection to a buried sentence in a post ranting about private insurance, which was otherwise irrelevant to the post at hand, all while leveling lazy, incompetent armchair diagnoses at me (ad hominem).

    Adieu!
