Two newborn twins need a one-dose treatment that would save their lives: Zolgensma, a $2.1M drug. Insurance (also the mother's employer) cut coverage of the drug the day after they were born.

america is so fucking based man

in any proper country that company at least gets forced to pay by the government then ordered to shut down forever due to wanton cruelty. all the employees get generous severance except whoever made that call. depending upon your view of carceral punishment there are a few ways to go with that guy.

As an Australian the only thing I envy about the US is the Mexican food there.

"mexican" food... It's tex-mex, tasty but a far cry from the real thing

Close to 40 million Hispanics of Mexican descent live in the USA. You don’t think there is good Mexican cuisine there? Because in my experience, anywhere I find Mexicans, I find some damned good vittles.

I'm sure there is authentic Mexican cuisine in the USA as there is anywhere mexicans are ... I'm assuming that's not what op meant since it makes little sense

Why do you assume that? Why would it not make sense to mean Mexican food when saying Mexican food.

I thought it weird otherwise.... Like some saying they love going to France for the fantastic Italian cuisine...

You're being downloaded but this is true. You won't find a burrito in Mexico City.

Dude I just got back from Mexico City and burritos do exist there. They consider it USA food along with cheeseburgers. Mexico isn't static, they adopt food like everyone else.

it's made for tourists just like cheeseburger

Nah dude, they were definitely eating it. You could get a gordita from a street vendor and falafel from a restaurant with both of them selling Coca Cola. People like foods from around the world, including Mexicans.

Well I guess I wont go to mexico city for a burrito then. I've got news for you: the whole point of tex mex is that its very thoroughly americanized.
