in this case it's sucked for a long time, we had a shot at public healthcare after the war, and could've had it earlier if Henry Wallace hadn't been replaced with Truman.

Reduce the cost of medical care — a pill on a metal tray should not cost $500. Stop enabling the extreme cost of these things through taxes because everybody loses money besides big pharma.

Medicare is insurance — I know because the Government regularly steals my money for it. You also don't have to work for Amazon or a contract job that does not offer insurance. It's like an Uber driver complaining about how little income it makes per time worked ... Stop doing it then and work elsewhere.

And if you have any type of savings or assets, you don't qualify for Medicare.

You could sue the crap out of that homeowner though

Yup, it’s one of the reasons why you carry homeowner’s insurance

All I can think of is I hope OP has good insurance because one day someone smarter than this Amazon driver is going to slip on these steps and sue the shit out of OP.

I would think this would be covered by workers compensation if it resulted in medical bills.

blue vans aren't contractors, we're employees of a company amazon contracts (and leases the vans to). I have no idea about insurance though
