Flint, Michigan replaces most lead pipes 10 years after Michigan water crisis

The residents should be able to sue for healthcare from probable lead exposure. It is mind blowing people don't actively vote for nationalized healthcare.
codeddesign•7mo ago
Sue for what and who? The lead pipes weren’t illegal and pipes being lead weren’t hidden from the public. Beyond that, the water travels through multiple counties to get the Flint. Regarding healthcare - that is actually run on a state level since Obama. Each state has the choice to subsidize healthcare or not. There is no “nationalized” in this, unless you are talking about Medicaid? In that case, all medical is private and can choose which insurers they want to accept, including Medicaid. For those that have Medicaid know it’s absolutely horrible to work with and even worse for doctors. The only real solution is that each state exponentially increases income taxes to cover private insurance. However, if they did that it would be a political death sentence.

Just read the timeline and you see incompetence and lies all the way.

>The lead pipes weren’t illegal and pipes being lead weren’t hidden from the public.

Lead levels above 5000 ppm makes water "hazardous waste". The lead levels reached 3 times that.

Emergency manager Jerry Ambrose overruled the coucil because of costs. His defense so far has been to plead the fifth:say nothing, answer nothing.

The charges against him were later dismissed due to a procedural error.

The pipes weren't illegal, but falsifying water test reports to hide the fact that people are skimming all the money out of water treatment chemicals which ultimately caused the otherwise stable lead pipes to corrode and poison people, certainly is. People also got legionnaires disease from the water, that wasn't because of lead pipes, it is also because the water wasn't being treated while complaints were suppressed using falsified water test reports. This being done after control over the Flint water supply was forcefully taken out of the hand of city officials and put into a dictatorial state assigned "emergency manager" because the state falsely claimed the city couldn't manage their water supply.

Great. Can we complete Chattanooga's [lead pipe] situation, next?

Quite a datapoint about how lead and violent crime correlate. TLDR yes. https://crimegrade.org/violent-crime-flint-mi/
