This feels like a scene in an old Kurt Vonnegut short where the dystopian government announces their plans for mass euthanasia “in a festival like setting”.
One of these days one of these clowns is going to propose the literal concept of the Hunger Games without a single shred of irony, I just know it.
In a FESTIVAL LIKE SETTING? /waT
Dr. Oz might as well be selling Herbalife and healing crystals. Dude is a top tier schmuck.
Diagnosed in 15 minutes? Maybe cancer maybe not. Yup, you can work, stop whining. Now enjoy the festival.
Luigiiiii!!!! Got another one for ya!!!!
Translation: we’re gonna round you up like sheep and have the vet check behind your ears, you filthy animals
oh look! the deathpanels i’ve heard so much about have arrived!
He didn’t “just” say it. It was September 2022.
Not that his comments aren’t reprehensible, just want accuracy.
“Festive like setting”
Doctor: I am afraid you have cancer. But religious conservatives ensure you don’t have any access to health care. So here’s a bible and a balloon.
Wait, is the festival setting thing real? You guys in the US are really speedrunning that capitalist dystopia arc, huh?
The guy who peddles bullshit snake oil remedies doesn’t think healthcare is a right? I’m shocked, ***shocked*** I say!
This is how you get more people like Luigi Mangione.
Remember when Republicans were fake crying about “death panels”? Now they’re like “Actually, that sounds like a great idea!”
Thank god he just wants to repeal Obamacare and not the affordable care act.
There’s gonna be 3 diagnosis:
Can work, no need to fix. -back to work
Can’t work, cheap to fix. -hey some form of healthcare, but soon back to work.
Can’t work, too expensive to fix. -no healthcare, at max euthanasia.
Funny thing is he’s a major investor to the tune of 10s of millions in health insurance companies. So basically he’s going to be regulating the companies he has active investments in such as UnitedHealth.
Is this even real life anymore? Have I died and entered an alternate universe of absolute fucking buffoonery? How is this shit happening?
Physicals provided by the government in a festival like setting. That’s some crazy stuff. It’s like he is writing a horror novel or a screenplay, but in real life. Good times.
Good. Fuck em. Covid clearly didn’t get enough of them. Maybe this will.
Like…speed dating?
Festive like the Spanish Inquisition!
What the fuck is he talking about lmao
Leave it to this clown to promote a circus
Mehmet really is a stupid, horrible, sub-human piece of shit.
‘Festival-like setting’ makes me think of fun times, like a Pumpkin Festival. You know, competitions for the biggest pumpkin and the best pie. Not a setting for learning you have cancer in your fifteen minute consultation but no resources to fight it. Welcome to the second Trump presidency, y’all! Enjoy!
Jesus Christ US….time to maybe stop with the Universal Healthcare is communism messaging and just fucking implement it the next time democrats have majority….this is getting bleak as hell….
That is patently one of the craziest concepts I’ve ever heard from anybody, let alone a medical professional.
It’s what they wanted.
I try very hard not to take this personally as I know I am just one of millions. But just one of my medications costs $6000/mo and without it I will be in horrible pain, 24/7, become first a cripple, then an invalid and hopefully, will die from a heart attack and not die suffering slowly over years like my grandmother did. It’s the kind of “have nothing to lose” rage and despair that breeds Luigis.
Only someone who is so disconnect and privileged would say such an awful thing
By that logic, no one has the right to anything.
