I called my doctor from home and was sitting in an exam room 10 minutes later, no cash/billing involved. I know Canadian healthcare bragging is the very worst kind of internet bragging but while I was walking home I just couldn’t help but feel angry about our experience in NYC, how we had to haggle over every hospital bill, adding insult to tragedy, feeling...

It’s not okay because it’s a license to do things in the sexual realm that is counter to how things are supposed to be.

It makes it sound like Bioware/EA only cares about the white dude, when all other evidence the author brings up in the article makes it clear the...
