Here's a breaking update on numbers of people who have lost their health insurance as a result of COVID-19, by country.

@Budwick Profit from peoples misfortune is immoral!!
WWJD? 🤷‍♀️

@Harriet03 How about making money for research and development?
How about covering costs of testing?

How about paying for talented researchers?

None of that happens anymore with government run shit.
They just buy from private sector.

@Harriet03 PS - curious - do you PAY for your aspirin?
Or, just steal it, cuz it would be immoral for you to pay?

@Budwick Guess how many people are going to pay for treatment (including) meds here? 🤷‍♀️

@Harriet03 Guess how many give a rats ass.

Your point is you want / need a nanny state to care for you.

My point is I want government to take care of securing the nation - not a lot more.

You're leaning commie - I'm solid conservative.

@Budwick The first priority of a civilised country, is the health & wellbeing of it's citizens.
Not fucking profit!!!!! 🤦‍♀️

@Harriet03 The first priority is national security.

@Budwick Pointless trying to defend dead people!!
If I hear another conservative say they're pro life ever again after this!!

@Harriet03 Cuz, national security is all about dead people?
You are conflating issues and not doing well at it either.

@Budwick 🤦‍♀️

@fairefoutre Especially 'those that gave list'.

@Harriet03 frustrating to be wrong all the time I bet.

@Budwick You are a terrible advert for America!!

You have no security. All you have is paranoia.

@Budwick

@Harriet03 That's OK. You can't travel here right now anyway.

@ThePerfectUsername If you listen to media, I can see how you might think that.

TIP: Don't assume what the media tells you is true.

@Budwick And don’t assume it doesn’t

@MissTaken Fool me once, shame on me.
Try lying every fucking time on every fucking topic while defending the lying opposition - eat shit and die!

Is that how the old saying goes?

@Budwick Why do you feel the need to swear - it makes you appear even more stupid

@MissTaken It's sort of like sprinkles on ice cream.
Add's a special something.

And besides, defending the lying media is far more stupid than anything I've said.

@Budwick Ah, yes, so that must be why every other developed country with public healthcare spends less money and gets better health outcomes than America. Because "government has no business in healthcare."

We're Americans, and we have FREEDOMS. And that includes the FREEDOM to have a shitty healthcare system that is worse than everyone else's.

Good point. Except for the fact that thirty two other modernized nations have publicly funded healthcare and they do...all that stuff. Better than America does.

It's like you forget that this information is readily available.

You support the arming and funding of Muslim terrorists and jihadist groups. You get to shut the fuck up about national security, terrorist-lover.
