How dare someone who is dying of cancer and is too sick to work anymore get free Netflix! They can work for it like everyone else! I’m not subsidizing their Netflix /s
Do you ever ask them why they’re paying more to hurt people? I’d think they’d be on it just for the “you’re gonna pay less money” line, but racists gonna racist…
(It may just be my experience, but these types tend to be racist and that’s one of the driving factors, not paying for minorities)
It’s not even racism. It’s just plain evil. There might be a bit of it, it was just not wanting anybody benefiting.
At first they rationalized it by saying is cheaper, but when they shared the costs it was brutal. They then said it was better and started ranting about how it’s actually not good either. It was a bit weird and he was kind of my boss so I didn’t want to push it.
i’m white as fuck and if they could only choose one minority to not be on their health plan, it’d be the disabled. has been said to my face, by someone who had been a friend before they moved to an extremely conservative locale, shortly after i had some semi-vital organs removed.
"I’m going to aggressively call anyone talking about a widely known issue with American Healthcare a bullshit spewing liar!
Waaaah why am I being downvoted waaaah I fucking hate you socialists and your facts, you’re all ignorant dipshits even though you just proved I’m the ignorant one!"
As an American leftist, the above is the majority of my countrymen and it is fucking embarrassing and exhausting to live alongside them. It is incredibly frustrating how well our government has convinced the average person in this country to vehemently fight against their own wellbeing. The number of people I’ve come across who claim to be left politically but then call socialism the extreme right is just mind-boggling. It’s like they think other countries are just actual make believe and that the US is the only functional country on the planet
It’s not either/or. I think even if we joined all the other modern countries in providing universal healthcare for all our citizens, we’d still be spending more on our bloated, unaudited military than the next countries combined, but feel free to fact check that.
Just imagine living in a first world country where they provide free Netflix instead of maintaining an insanely large military.
As an American, I’d rather die a preventable death then share free healthcare with someone I don’t think deserves it! /s

I’ve heard people honestly defending paying more for healthcare rather than having “freeloaders”.

This point is overdone, but Americans spend more than other developed countries on healthcare, so it’s not even an austerity thing.
I mean, it still counts as austerity when the money is coming out of your own pocket
I’m gonna need you to cite them sources boss, or I’m gonna assume you’re another liar spewing bullshit.
I thought this was common knowledge around here, but sure. If you only want the numbers, there.
Appreciate you for the links!
Whoever down voted me, go back to your echo chamber where you can stay an ignorant dipshit that takes everything you see on the internet as factual.
Im just asking for citations to encourage spreading good information instead of AI generated hallucination trash and right-wing/cult/heresay nonsense.
If you don’t wanna be downvoted, maybe don’t be so aggressive when you ask for citations.
is a bit antagonistic for “just asking”. A little civility will take you a long way.
this isn’t reddit. you can ask for sources politely or you can get downvotes. we like to encourage civility.
You’re being downvoted due to being aggressive for no reason.

But then we wouldn’t be able to murder a bunch of random Venezualans or lose wars that we started against overwhelmingly inferior opponents.

excuse me it is audited regularly, just they fail every time.
edit: for anyone wondering, that’s worse.
Don’t be smug about it. American insurance companies will eventually also come to your country.
Maybe, maybe not. Our right wing idiots at least seem to value their own health and wellness enough to not approve of dismantling healthcare.
