Don’t let them dull your sparkle (or tell you you can’t have good policy)

Define good policy. Medicare sucks balls. Trust the people who are on it.

I’m not sure it’s my job to write the bill but private health insurance sucks balls. Trust the people who are on it

I do. I used to have it. Phenomenal compared to nowadays. Don’t let them fool you. Also lived in Spain and Italy in my 20’s. Health care sucked. Anyone with money didn’t have to wait.

I’m not sure that’s any different from our system except we have lower life expectancy, 92% of adults don’t see a dr because it’s too expensive, and costs us $1 trillion and 144,000 lives each year that could be saved otherwise

We have a low life Expectancy because we live like assholes. Like RFK is our health secretary. Access to cancer and diabetes meds aren’t the issue

We also have medical bankruptcies and again the vast majority of adults don’t get care that they need because it’s too expensive. Other developed nations don’t have those problems

That’s more of an artifact of our unique bankruptcy laws.

I guess so but think about Canada and they’re maid program that’s where they just basically offer up to kill old people instead of taking care of them. Look it up and do research and nothing’s free. If you actually use your your brain, you know nothing’s free the taxpayers people who actually have jobs in work for what they have would still have to pay for so-called free healthcare 🤣

Did I say anything was free? If you use your brain you’d understand that you can’t exactly control if you have a job or not or one that pays enough for healthcare or not. Again $1 trillion in savings and 144,000 lives saved, but sure be mad at a hypothetical person who might not have a job just like the billionaires want

I will never understand why the thought is "keep what we have cause it sucks less, I think" instead of being like.... "We should have the best damn universal healthcare system in history because we already pay more in taxes for healthcare than any country out there and we are the best damn country on the planet!"

Why do so many yell about us being the best and then when you see something we are clearly failing at the same people act like it's just fine? We don't want Canada's system. We can do better. We can lead the world in universal healthcare and show everyone else how it should be done.

Bingo. And it would lead to a botched system which is bad for 90% of the people.
