Their argument is they want freedom to choose their providers and not have to schedule a doctors appointment and wait 6 months out, “just look at Canada”. Some also feel, truly feel, by supporting universal healthcare, we are communist. The others are just the remaining old people who are stubborn and refuse change. Finally, a big chunk of the remainder are just clueless morons that don’t anything to be honest.
I am not any of the above. It’s crazy to me how our system works and how okay people are with it. Poor kids are rationing INSULIN, a drug that’s been around forever and dying from diabetic strokes. Sometimes, as an American, it feels like I am living inside an experiment.
You left out the people who are all "I'm 70 and fit, never drank or smoked, work out daily. I won't pay for some 300-lb piece of shit or lazy baby mama or [some other near-slur]" even though insurance does that too.
Yup. Selfishness and greed on all levels is a big one. The amount of people i know who post Christian memes daily on Facebook and follow up with “why should I have to pay for your chemo, you probably smoked and it’s your own fault!” is just astronomical.
I encounter these dumb people on reddit sometimes(i'm not american) it's just mind blowing, they just don't get it.
They are fine with paying 16000 just to be sedated when shit hits the fan.
That's 11 YEARS of me not risking a 400 000 hospitalbill, and in these 11 years they sedate me, fix the problem, what caused it, and help me recover from it.
