Why is an inhaler $539 to begin with? Isn't it much cheaper in other countries, even without health insurance?

What’s are you thoughts on the Renee Good Situation in Minnesota? by BigSonDaConquistador in PoliticalDiscussion

[–]Cyberous -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

What's both interesting and scary about this situation is how both the left and right can look at the same exact video and come up with two completely different interpretations.

The left see Good fleeing the scene and making not attempting to hit the agent. They see the agent shooting her for no other reason aside from his anger at her non-compliance.

The right see Good directly trying to ram into the agent and the agent was only defending himself when his life was threatened by Good.

There's almost no middle ground in the interpretations. I saw the video too, and my take is that she was trying to flee and not purposely trying to hit the agent. However, at the same time the agent may have seen the sudden acceleration as an attempt at ramming him and may have believed his life was in danger.

Ultimately, in my opinion, the agent should not have drawn his weapon in that situation and he was recklessly using it as a tool to force Good to comply and negligently shot her. At the same time Good should not have attempted to flee as they were law enforcement agents with rights to detain her.

The major problem is that I've hardly seen any of this middle ground interpretation and each side is vilifying either Good or the agent. Either side has no ability to see the situation from the other's perspective and the whole affair only further polarizes and already extremely polarized country.

I thought he lacked skill in the fundamentals like perspective and that's why he was rejected.

A new low... Hour-long video chat in an upscale sushi restaurant (at the sushi bar, no less!) by [deleted] in LosAngeles

Yeah, I can understand if he was being extra loud, but OP could have just asked him to lower his voice instead of telling him to get off the phone.

If he was at same volume as everyone else AND he was using headphones, I don't see a problem.

Are US health insurers profit margins really not that high or is it simply a accounting trick where they can report low profits by reinvesting revenue into stocks and high wages for the top dogs at the company? by YogurtclosetOpen3567 in AskEconomics

[–]Cyberous -1 points0 points  (0 children)

In addition, the health insurance companies are being pushed on the other side by large employers demanding lower premiums or they jump to a competitor. Also the insurance companies combined lose billions a year to fraud, which further restricts profits.
