So...no national healthcare?

All we hear is folks will have to stand in line. Choices to turn away very ill patients. Whatever.
But the choices that folks are making...not wearing masks, joining gatherings with no precautions, thumbing noses at sound scientific evidence, irresponsible state leaders...these things are happening right now. And guess whose fault it is? It's your fault (you know who you are).
And, btw...this free vaccine? Pffft. Pfizer has just raised prices on other meds. Guess who pays for that?

Was uncertain if this is healthcare or political. So...in to the go to🤷‍♀️

The more and more full time employment with benefits is replaced with contract and gig work, the more desperately it is needed. We no longer have an economy capable of supporting private health care

@ViciDraco no we don't, please stay active

Carla · 61-69, F

@ViciDraco the fewer that have the means to support it, the more expensive it will become.

sunsporter1649 · 70-79, M

@Carla Oh goody, now you are going to pay my health care insurance! Nice!

OggggO · 36-40, M

@sunsporter1649 We already are, genius, and have been since you turned 65.

sunsporter1649 · 70-79, M

@OggggO LOL, not collecting SS or on medicare

OggggO · 36-40, M

@sunsporter1649 Then you're even less intelligent than I thought you were.

sunsporter1649 · 70-79, M

@OggggO Did it ever occur to you that I do not need either?

OggggO · 36-40, M

@sunsporter1649 If you don't need them, why are you asking Carla to pay for your insurance?

Carla · 61-69, F

@sunsporter1649 bullshit.

sunsporter1649 · 70-79, M

@Carla Some of decided early not to rely on mommy government to provide for our needs

Carla · 61-69, F

@sunsporter1649 if you worked and paid taxes, ss is yours. If you choose not to draw it, you are a fool.

sunsporter1649 · 70-79, M

@Carla When I need my mommy to take care of me I will let her know

Carla · 61-69, F

@sunsporter1649 giving what is rightfully yours to the federal govt is as foolish as it gets.
Sounds as though you have unresolved mother issues.

@Carla for federal employees there are two retirement plans CSRS and FERS. In FERS you collect SS. In CSRS you don’t but your retirement package $$$ wise is financially more.

When you become capable of helping the most vulnerable people in your society, let me know

sunsporter1649 · 70-79, M

@newjaninev2 You mean people are incapable of caring for themselves and need mommy government to support them throughout their entire lives!

ViciDraco · 36-40, M

@sunsporter1649 humans are social animals, we are evolved to care for each other in social groups. If you want to play lone wolf, go find an uninhabited Island somewhere and enjoy yourself.

sunsporter1649 · 70-79, M

@ViciDraco Yup, another one incapable of taking care of themselves. Which one is you?

newjaninev2 · 56-60, F

@sunsporter1649 [quote]need mommy government to support them[/quote]

Yes, for the most vulnerable people in society, that is indeed the case.

Of course, there have been other régimes that have found a ‘solution’ to that situation

sunsporter1649 · 70-79, M

@newjaninev2 Which is just the kind of government you want in the future. Enjoy it.

newjaninev2 · 56-60, F

@sunsporter1649 lol! The first thing a communist régime would do is to shoot me 😀

sunsporter1649 · 70-79, M

@newjaninev2 Then why do you insist upon supporting the demonocrats who are attempting to impose that bullschiff on the USA

newjaninev2 · 56-60, F

@sunsporter1649 Despite America’s recent 4-year flirtation with one, you’re not too familiar with totalitarian, autocratic régimes, are you?

When an autocratic régime finally gets to replace American democracy, you’ll understand that it’s the same thing as communist totalitarianism. What you somewhat simplistically characterise as ‘left wing’ and right wing’ aren’t different ends of a straight line... they’re points where a circle joins.

@newjaninev2 LOL, got your kung flu shot? Enjoying your $4.00 a gallon gas? Got your Christmas presents yet? Kung Flu passport, please....

Carla · 61-69, F

@sunsporter1649 did your kids enjoy their polio series?
Do you enjoy living in a capitalist society that operates on supply and demand?
You get your cdl yet? Truck drivers are needed, sporto, you should do your part.
And certainly, I have my vax card right here. Thank you for checking.
