So...no national healthcare?

@sunsporter1649 Imagine eating lettuce some migrant worker had diarrhea on because he couldn’t afford to see a doctor.

Oh, wait, never mind, you’re a hermit who grows his own food.

@LeopoldBloom To each, according to their needs. From each, according to their abilities

@sunsporter1649 Because capitalism has been working so well?

@LeopoldBloom Been to the ussr lately?

@sunsporter1649 No, idiot, I don't have a time machine.

Jesus based on the novel Christ by Sapphire, the USSR ended like 30 years ago! Have you been in a coma or something? Besides, I thought Russia was our friend now.

@sunsporter1649 nothing to joke about unless youre too rich to know what happens to anyone

@Elevatorpitches To each, according to their needs. From each, according to their ability

@sunsporter1649 maybe we're on the same side

@Elevatorpitches I seriously doubt it

@sunsporter1649 Imagine being forced to pay for 300 almost 400 monthly for said private medical insurance that barely affords medication when you need it and takes half of your barely minimum wage paycheck that you work 50 hours a week for. Oh the actual horror.

I'm frankly convinced that the people who are against national healthcare can actually afford good doctors. They can afford rent, they can travel, they have nice lives, a white picket fence, nice security system where they don't have to worry, gated communities.

Yeah sure feels good but I wish these same people had enough empathy to be able to look from another person's perspective.

@SatanBurger greed is blinding.

@SatanBurger To each, according to their needs. From each, according to their ability.

@sunsporter1649 as opposed to the US model, from each according to their ability, to each according to how easily we can hire your replacement.

@ViciDraco So you need your mommy to take care of you forever?

@sunsporter1649 mommy is dead and I bring in more income than my father and four brothers combined. My replacements are more difficult to find, for now at least. Just because I do well doesn't mean I don't see how people are exploited in our system. Hard workers get paid less and less. And then they are told people poorer than them are the problem.

@ViciDraco So your proposal is to eliminate corporations and small businesses, and have the mommy government provide free everything for everybody?

@sunsporter1649 I don't see how that follows. Taxes raise money to fund a health system. That doesn't eliminate corporations or small businesses. If anything, it takes the need to provide health care off of their plates. People like me who earn a little more may see our taxes go up a little. Earners more to the median that currently pay health insurance premiums are likely to see smaller increases but end up having money when they no longer have the premium coming out of their check. If anything, it helps strengthen small businesses and promotes entrepreneurship because people can take the risk of trying to open a small business instead of needing to rely on corporate masters for coverage.

@ViciDraco LOL, one size fits all, eh?
