Third building (biggest of all): Medical Insurance Administration.

I wonder when they will go all Boeing and GE. The day when all they will have left is the ability to buy their own stock and lobby from the government for free money. Imagine the platonic peak form of health insurance. Processing no claims whatsoever.

I like this comparison cause miracle whip sucks. Also, I’m going to Duke’s Mayo Clinic every time.

[-] Assman@sh.itjust.works 0 points 4 months ago

Kewpie mayo is where it's at

[-] Cobrachicken@lemmy.world 0 points 4 months ago

Kewpie hits the dish soap very hard with me.

[-] Swedneck@discuss.tchncs.de 0 points 4 months ago

unless you live in japan/china i cannot fathom regularly buying that, not only is it shipped halfway across the world, you have no clue what the ingredients and manufacturing is like, and to top it off it comes wrapped in a fucking plastic bag as if the shipping wasn't terrible enough for the environment..

Especially when it's mayo, something you can make with eggs, oil, some spices, and an immersion blender!

[-] JusticeForPorygon@lemmy.world 0 points 4 months ago

It's fucking crazy how many people either prefer miracle whip or think it tastes the same as mayo. Like what kind of mayonnaise are you eating?

[-] danc4498@lemmy.world 0 points 4 months ago

Might be a genetic thing. Like some people think avocados taste like dish soap. I think miracle whip tastes rotten.

[-] can@sh.itjust.works 0 points 4 months ago

Pretty sure that's cilantro you're thinking of

[-] danc4498@lemmy.world 0 points 4 months ago

You’re right. I know somebody that is allergic to avocados, so I mixed those up.

[-] JusticeForPorygon@lemmy.world 0 points 4 months ago

I don't think avocados have any flavor at all

[-] angrystego@lemmy.world 0 points 4 months ago

They kind of taste like butter to me. It's a mild flavour, but nice.

[-] JusticeForPorygon@lemmy.world 0 points 4 months ago

I suppose that explains the popularity of avocado toast

[-] Leviathan@lemmy.world 0 points 4 months ago

I find they have a faint botanical/vegetal perfume and a buttery flavor.

[-] altima_neo@lemmy.zip 0 points 4 months ago

It has such a nasty sweet taste that I can't stand.

Though I haven't tried it since I was a teenager. I don't intend in trying it again.

[-] Tenthrow@lemmy.world 0 points 4 months ago

We prefer Blue Plate General

[-] penquin@lemm.ee 0 points 4 months ago

And you have to pay for both.

[-] Sam_Bass@lemmy.world 0 points 4 months ago

Miracle whip makes better chicken salad

[-] thesporkeffect@lemmy.world 0 points 4 months ago

Booo! Chicken salad isn't a dessert, you heathen 😛

[-] NutWrench@lemmy.world 0 points 4 months ago

Isn't it amazing how often the Miracle Whip people end up in the hospital emergency room whenever they have a serious medical problem.

Not being able to breath has a way of reorganizing your beliefs in a big damn hurry.

[-] Holzkohlen@feddit.de 0 points 4 months ago

Don't worry, they are back to their beliefs right after. Same with the anti abortion crowd.

[-] Veneroso@lemmy.world 0 points 4 months ago

As a Miracle Whip enthusiast this is sacrilege.

It is also hilarious.

[-] Hathaway@lemmy.zip 0 points 4 months ago

I live near Rochester, MN. This is hilarious. I’m sending it to many people I know

[-] MacNCheezus@lemmy.today 0 points 4 months ago

Glad I could be of service.

[-] thesocavault@lemmy.world 0 points 4 months ago

American Healthcare > Canadian Healthcare - 3 to 7 months for an MRI in Canada

[-] HubertManne@moist.catsweat.com 0 points 4 months ago

canadian healthcare > american healthcare - denied preauthorization for an MRI

[-] MacNCheezus@lemmy.today 0 points 4 months ago

Why yes, I do have a meme for that too:

[-] afraid_of_zombies@lemmy.world 0 points 4 months ago

Funny picture, not accurate, but pretty funny. The US is the only developed nation with a life expectancy going down. Hovering around a low established in 1996. Canada on the other hand continues to increase with a tiny rate of growth dip during the worse of Covid. Worse pandemic in its history and all she gets it from it was people were living longer each year at a slower rate.

[-] Player2@lemm.ee 0 points 4 months ago

Having lived in both, Canadian healthcare >>> American healthcare. Walking out of a hospital after they saved your life with a bill of $0 is very nice in my experience.

[-] NikkiDimes@lemmy.world 0 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago)

Canadian Healthcare is better if you're immediately dying, US Healthcare is better if you're slowly dying...and have money. Those who do not have money need not apply.

[-] Timecircleline@sh.itjust.works 0 points 4 months ago

The Canadian system is triaged according to priority, as opposed to who can or can't afford it. I've had several MRIs, including one during the height of COVID, and have never waited more than a few weeks. One was scheduled a couple of months out and then moved up after a radiologist reviewed my x-rays. Granted one of them was at 3am but would rather have answers and an inconvenient appointment time

[-] Glytch@lemmy.world 0 points 4 months ago

Hey, that's how long the wait is at Mayo (unless you're part of the Saudi or Jordanian royal families).

[-] afraid_of_zombies@lemmy.world 0 points 4 months ago

The proceeding was a paid message brought to you by Atena.

Atena, the last time we paid out was 1998 and we fired the person who did that so it won't happen again.

[-] Leviathan@lemmy.world 0 points 4 months ago

I never understand this, the last time I needed an MRI I got it done within the same day. Canadian healthcare can have its downsides but when you need something you get it quick.

[-] Meron35@lemmy.world 0 points 4 months ago

Wow, can't believe American healthcare is still segregated. Literally only for mayos 😔

/s

[-] thesocavault@lemmy.world 0 points 4 months ago

American Healthcare - if you need it, you can get it done. The amount of people who come to America to get simple procedures done vs joining the Canadian wait list is more than you think, and all of this information is based on a conversation with - A Canadian.

[-] Aux@lemmy.world 0 points 4 months ago

I don't know about Canada, but I'll continue getting medical help here in Europe.

[-] efstajas@lemmy.world 0 points 4 months ago

Ah yes. If you need it, you can get it done. Except for the fact that you probably can't afford it.

[-] Leviathan@lemmy.world 0 points 4 months ago

Canadian healthcare - I got surgery within the space of a month for something totally non-life-threatening and didn't pay a cent other than my taxes, which cost less than American health insurance monthly. The amount of people I know who went to the US to get simple procedures done is exactly zero, and all this information is directly from - a Canadian.

[-] null@slrpnk.net 0 points 4 months ago

this information is based on a conversation with - A Canadian.

Hear that, folks? He talked to one, whole Canadian. That's a wrap!

[-] thesocavault@lemmy.world 0 points 4 months ago

Yep! It's a wrap!

[-] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 0 points 4 months ago

Having been to the Mayo Clinic this year and having been totally fucked over and given no real help, I'll take neither at this point.

[-] Fisch@discuss.tchncs.de 0 points 4 months ago

Wait, is miracle whip a real thing?! I thought that was just an exaggerated joke

[-] MacNCheezus@lemmy.today 0 points 4 months ago

Of course it’s real. I grew up on that stuff and I’m not even American.

[-] LemmyFeed@lemmy.world 0 points 4 months ago

Gross. Miracle whip on pears.... Wtf are they thinking...

[-] Drunemeton@lemmy.world 0 points 4 months ago

Oh you sweet, dear, child…

You can never unsee some of these, so proceed with caution, and only after waiting a full hour after your last meal.
