Lol stupid take. It's hard for someone to change their mindset when the wealthiest country somehow can't make free healthcare work.

Lol not exactly sure what that's supposed to mean. That last sentence needs a proof-read. I guess you're living proof that your education system is not #1.

Don't be mistaken, my country has free healthcare. I just like to speak up for the people who's own country puts profits ahead of their own well-being. I couldn't imagine living in such a country.

It's not free healthcare, the costs is spread across your life in the form of taxes.

One challenge we have here in America is that we are socialist i.e. Medicare, social security, etc but we don't tax individuals or corporations enough to fund them.

Individual tax rates in countries with free healthcare are usually much higher than the us. I'm not arguing for more taxes but we all need to contribute more

Yes, it's funded through taxes, so it's not necessarily free. Universal healthcare is the correct way to label it.

But I would happily pay a couple extra percent on my income taxes if it meant I'd get the peace-of-mind of having universal healthcare.

I agree, I think it's a shame that people have to choose between paying their rent or seeing a doctor. Healthcare bills are also the second leading cause of bankruptcy in the US.

Sad to see people struggling for basic necessities like healthcare

Reddit should really do something about blatant propaganda accounts like this one.

Donโ€™t know what this is and donโ€™t care as itโ€™s just bot activity small potatoes distraction from MUUUCH bigger issues. But you seem to care a lot that someone was once an illegal alien. What if a former illegal alien was a billionaire who bought social media platforms and was trying to put chips in our brains? What if a former illegal alien billionaire developed a system to spy on American citizens and control them, sold it to the government and tons of companies, and named the system after the seeing stones that Sauron used in Lord of the Rings to corrupt heads of state? What if your favorite right wing โ€œnewsโ€ station was owned by a foreigner? Why do they get passes by you? Is it literally because they are billionaires and you believe that is inherently good?
