I think some of you who were young when Obama care became law maybe dont get what the horror of pre-existing conditions meant. It wasn’t just you disclosed your condition and insurers didn’t cover you, its that they would cover you, you would pay them, live your life and then one day, you’d need medical care and the insurance companies would comb through your past history LOOKING for an excuse to tell you that actually, because your GP told you twenty-five years ago that you might consider making lifestyle changes to avoid developing high blood pressure (changes which you did, and which worked), that stroke you just had is a pre-existing condition and you’re shit out of luck

And with the invention of social media and the ability to buy consumer’s data, if this practice is allowed to resume, a lot of people are gonna be so screwed over

[pbrim]

A good friend had insured their family (2 parents, 3 kids) for several years, paid their premiums regularly.  Then their eldest son developed diabetes, and the company claimed that he had been overweight all along, and thus had not ever actually been eligible for their policy.  Not only would the company not pay for his treatment now, they demanded back all the money they had paid for treatment in the past.  They did not, of course refund any premiums paid because it was a single price for a family with 2 or 3 kids covered.

In the 90′s I was working as a contractor in IT and getting my insurance through my husband who was a regular employee.  I was secretly make plans to leave my abusive husband, and was looking for private insurance.  But it had been recently discovered one of my heart valves is mal-formed.  It is a birth defect, discovered accidentally, that I had had without problems for 40 years.  But there was a chance that at some point it would need to be replaced. The best deal I could find for private insurance was a policy for which I would pay the same as everyone else, but there would be no coverage at all for ANY problem with my circulatory system because of my “pre-existing condition”,  (Other companies refused to insure me at any price.)  Not just no valve replacement surgery, no coverage for a heart attack, no coverage for high blood pressure, no coverage for anything that in anyway affected my circulatory system.  I had to remain with my husband for several more years until I could shut down my company and find a job with my own employee insurance.  (25 years later, and still no issues from that mal-formed valve.)

My best friend has several complex medical problems.  She was lucky enough to get coverage from the state under a high-risk pool (not available in every state), and that kept her alive.  But it cost almost half of their income every year for premiums and co-pays.  Her husband was not eligible for the pool, and could not afford to take a job that offered insurance, because that would make her ineligible for the pool.  He was fired early on from a job that did offer insurance, but it was a small company and his wife’s conditions were driving the premiums up for everyone in the company.  The insurance company rep flat out told them, “We doubled your premiums this year, and we will double them next year, and every year until you fire X.  Do that and the premiums for everyone else go back down.”  So he didn’t go to the doctor for anything for 10 years so they could keep the insurance that was keeping his wife alive.  He was afraid to get a checkup for fear they would find some “pre-existing condition” that would mean he could NEVER be able to get insurance.

This is what they want to go back to.  This is what they want to go back to in the middle of a pandemic.  This scares the shit out of me.

I’m sorry, but if you follow me or frequent my page and are voting for Donald trump, please unfollow me. I will not ask you to defend yourself, I will not ask for any kind of response to this because by you simply voting for Trump, I know everything about you and what you stand for.

I do not want this page, my posts, or any member of the communities I’m involved in to be associated with a symbol of systemic hate, racism, and disgusting behavior the President emits and a vote for him is an agreement to that.

Unfollow me. Do not like my posts. Do not try and defend your actions.

This country deserves better. Black people, LGBTQIA+ people, Hispanic people, Asian people, women, men, children, everyone deserves better than what we have in office now.

Vote November 3rd. If you can’t, help spread the word and try and influence people that their vote matters.

!!!IMPORTANT FOR BLACK US VOTERS!!!

I saw this on Facebook and went to check my registration status, sure it was fine because I voted recently, but I put in the info and it said I’m not registered

PLEASE, especially if you’re a Black voter, check your registration status at vote.org

[elyseeeeew-deactivated20250306]

Know your status

[mistressvioleta]

Does your last name sound anything like Lopez, Martinez, or Rodriguez? Mine does. When I saw this post I checked my voter registration status online with my state. Despite registering just three months ago, I was no longer registered to vote, and I did not receive my ballot. If you live in a mail-in voting state and you didn’t get your ballot, contact your county election official/county clerk for a replacement.

[symphonyofmars]

Make sure you check with your state’s voting site as well. I just had the shit scared out of me because that website said I was registered, but when I checked my state’s site (and made sure I had the right county selected) it said I was registered.

It’s worth checking your state’s site every few months anyway (especially when any election is coming up).

[explorerrowan]

Texas is definitely purging voters. They’re also making it harder to re-register if they purged you. I hate that this is true, but POC will need to check and check frequently to stay registered in Texas.

College students, too. In the 2014 election, I had to vote in San Marcos, and I can’t tell you how many Texas State students were turned away because they didn’t cross all the t’s and dot all the i’s on getting their registration transferred and current.

[hashtagloveloses]

i use a site called TurboVote run by a nonprofit that sends me reminders based on where im registered to vote before every election. it sends me an email to remind me to check my registration, to apply for absentee ballots, etc. it’s helpful so that you can check if you’ve been purged regularly (and participate in the local races that never get any publicity); https://turbovote.org/

[stevviefox]

Please register and check with your town/city hall often to make sure you are still registered. Please vote.

[waknatious]

THIS IS A REMINDER

You have about two months to make sure you’re registered to vote by mail in the US.

[deeplylearning]

It took me literally 41.5 seconds to find out if I was registered to vote.

Check!!!

Remember, it's not a charity, it's its own seperate Christian denomination and only cares about funding more of the same church.

Even if you yourself are a Christian they will likely humiliate you for not believing the exact same teachings they have, the only way they treat you decently is if you agree to everything they say and join them - and even then they use their semi-military structure to justify why you need to obey your "commanders"

a massive explosion just rocked the capital city of lebanon, beirut. footage of the explosion has been captured, and it is horrific and terrifying. dozens and maybe even hundreds of people have been injured and the reports have confirmed at least 10 people dead. reports are still coming in.

hospitals are overwhelmed. the lebanese red cross has sent out an urgent message in need of blood donations of all blood types. open transfusion centers to help aid in this disaster are currently

if you have loved ones in lebanon or you are aware of someone who has loved ones in lebanon, i strongly urge you to reach out to them as soon as possible. if you don’t have loved ones in lebanon, i hope you at least spread the word to help others and keep beirut in your thoughts today.

this all started just barely two hours ago, and the reports are still coming in with updates. keep an eye on the news, if you can. stay safe. 

[neonprotagonist]

the country of lebanon and it’s people have been struggling intensely recently due to political unrest, famine, covid-19, and an economic crisis. please read this twitter thread by a lebanese user for more information and how to help, along with this carrd

additionally, a carrd has been made concerning the beirut explosion and it consists of information on emergency relief, access to breaking news about the catastrophe, and, especially, information on blood donations.

multiple lebanese twitter users have urged against monetary donations as they will have a far far smaller impact than intended. what they are asking for is blood donations and raised voices, along with the sharing of these resources on current events in lebanon.

please keep your heart, mind, eyes, and ears open to lebanon, the city of beirut, and its people right now.

[spamton]

hey not to be a killjoy but can y’all spread the carrd about what’s going on in Poland

obvious warning for homophobia, transphobia, etc. in the link above.

I was born there. I have countless of LGBT friends there, and the fact that this is happening in the year 2020 is inhumane and terrifying. 

If you’re Polish, vote in the upcoming election. If you’re not polish, please spread the carrd around.

I am not an ideology. Nie jestem ideologią. 

[plain-and-simple-ninja]

Meet Wiktor, Michał, Dominik, Milo and Kacper.

Wiktor was almost 15 years old when he threw himself under the train. He was transgender.

Michał was 29 years old when he hanged himself on a tree. He was working as a model. He was gay.

Dominik was 14 years old when he hanged himself on his shoelaces. He was gay.

Milo was 23 years old when she jumped off a bridge. She was an activist. She was transgender.

Kacper was 14 years old when he hanged himself in his house. He wasn’t even sure if he was gay yet.

All of them were bullied in school. Some of them were assaulted, insulted, attacked on street. Some of them were denied psychological help they needed. Some of them were denied medical treatment.

All of them died because of institutional and personal homo- and transphobia here in Poland.

I will think about those five people - one of them I knew in person. I will think about them when I go vote today. And when I vote, I will think about countless children who might lose their lives in the future because of politicians who find themselves a new public enemy - “LGBT ideology”.

None of them was “an ideology”.

We are not an ideology, I am not an ideology either. Nie jestem ideologią.

[smallmatholichuman-deactivated2]

from me as a polish actvist i want to say more about situation in Poland because i feel that more people should know.

from begging:

(12.06.2020) in tv program one of the guest member of Sejm Jacek Żalek from „Agreement” party which allied with the ruling party of Poland said that „[LGBT+ people] are not people, this is an ideology” Katarzyna Kolenda- Zaleska, the journalist hosting the tv program decided to throw him out from her program.

(13.06.2020) Andrzej Duda the president of Poland gave a speech to his electorate in which he compare „LGBT ideology” to neobolshevism” and once again said „this is an ideology”

people went mad. rightly

(15.06.2020) this is Helena Biedroń. she is a mother to Robert Biedroń (the first openly gay member of the Sejm, leader of the „Spring” party, one of the three leaders of The Left, candidate to President, MEP) she read the letter from polish lgbt people parents to president. one of the quotes from her moving speech:

„I came here from afar, but i have something important to say to you Mr. [President]. I can’t stay quiet when my child is hurt.”

(bless this lady she deserved the world)

(17.06.2020) Andrzej Duda invited Helena and Robert Biedroń and Bart Staszewski (polish LGBT activist) to a meeting. only Bart Staszewski showing up in President Palace. after the meeting he wrote this on his twitter account:

Helena and Robert Biedroń didn’t show up because they claim that president did not want to debate with them but he invited them so he could had a photo with them to manipulate that he atleast tried.

this is the end of mine post but this shit is still on. and you know what? i feel threatened. as a Pole, as a activist, as a LGBT+ person, as a human.

one last word from me. VOTE

[if you see mistakes in mine text then please inform me about this, i will editing in the loop]

[blazenek]

I’d like to add that we lost the presidential elections, in case the international readers of this post didn’t know it yet. It will most likely lead to the implementation of the so called “Family Card” which will, among other things listed in the carrd itself, prohibit “spreading lgbt propaganda in public institutions” which will surelyfurther repress lgbt people and activists. Małgorzata Szutowicz was accused of “active participation in events taking place on 27th of june 2020 in Warsaw’s Wilcza street” which means: she allegedly took part in destroying cars driving in our capital, which are covered with homophobic lies (“homosexuals are 20 times more likely to be pedophiles, 91% of children rised by lesbians are molested” etc.) and people in them yelling similar propaganda with megaphones. She also allegedly pushed a man who was recording the whole situation injuring his wrist and back. The homophobic cars are technically illegal in poland since october 2019 based on a decision of the court (Sąd Okręgowy w Gdańsku), however nobody actually does anything about them and the police ignores the reports of them driving around our cities (so much for “we’re all equal in the eyes of law lmao”), including Warsaw, and accusations of slander from lgbt activists towards the people responsible for the propaganda campaign have been largely ignored. It’s a very hard time for the polish lgbt community and we’d appreciate spreading information about what’s going on in our country.

And to my polish LGBT friends- Grupa Stonewall offers free psychological support for LGBT people affected by the current situation.

He was ordered to resign. 💅🏻

OMG I live around there. I am beyond grateful I chose not to attend Weber's Criminal Justice program.

[starrynight0612]

Guys,he rescinded his resignation and I am physically sick by the amount of support I've seen in my community (I live in Utah) that he is receiving because a man "shouldn't be fired over having an opinion."

"He was just emotional......Haven't you said things in anger....Freedom of speech.....what he said was wrong but you shouldn't be fired over an opinion......Hes a great teacher."

He's a damn criminal justice professor! How is any minority supposed to feel safe going into his class?

I just...Ahhhh! My screams aren't loud enough to convey how angry I get being a BLM supporter in a state that has an extremely small black population outside of Salt Lake City (still really small). I have had to bear so many "All Lives Matter" speeches and pro-police from my husbands family and ugh. My mental health is being taxed.

[massacre-girlypop]

Cannot stress how bad this is. I live in Utah as well and if people are protecting a man like this, we are in an extensively bad position.

Guys, you know I normally don’t do this, but please consider helping if you can. The Bolsonaro administration has been rolling back protections for the indigenous peoples living in our territory since the very beginning of 2019 and it is honestly not above them to weaponize this virus against the most vulnerable.
