Any Trump loyalist might wanna help this poor guy out...

@SatanBurger This is an indictment on the American healthcare system. Sad that this happens in a wealthy, Western nation.

@chrisCA Nah, people could simply eat better and not be chronic excusers of everything they've done in life. Where universal healthcare is important, is probably people in poverty who have cancer or may lose their homes. That is a very important aspect to free healthcare.

@SatanBurger No one here believes it is free. It is a mattet of priorities of what citizens want their taxes spent on.

@pianoplayingsteve I’m very sorry about that. I’m not on the left or right, I’m not even American, I just find it shocking that people would mock and scorn someone like this example above because they have a different political leaning. Where are people’s humanity? Shame on them. It’s disgusting.

@LilithoftheTrees I’m not American, either. Nor do I identify with any side as I see arguments for both sides. However, many who treat the left wing and socialism like their religion here then support the left in America. They treat their socialism like religion, they really do. And whenever I ask them how to solve so and so issue with socialism, they don’t have an answer. They want to feel somehow virtuous in very literally not wanting to bother to learn how to do things. They were used to everything being handed to them as kids with a side job to spend on consumer goods that as an adult they think the government should provide all those things their parents did, for ‘free’ and frivolously spend the little they do have after tax. The left could take the most stupid idea and say we need to do it through socialism and many would mindlessly obey and call any disagreement a far right conspiracy theory

@pianoplayingsteve I hear what you’re saying. You know how many times I’ve been called names on both sides for just trying to see things from various perspectives. It’s such a polarized society it seems. Yeah anyone who treats their political associations as religion has cut themselves off to an open and progressive debate that some kind of a resolution can be found. Here, our public hospitals have become so bad, that some have closed, many don’t have staff, people wait for hours, the ambulances don’t have petrol etc etc. it’s very sad really. That was socialist. If you do not have private medical care you’re buggered. The irony is that private medical care is dreadfully expensive and costs an arm and a leg. Now there is talk of government enforcing socialism in hospitals for everyone, of course that’s a wonderful ideology that I agree with in principle. Sadly however we all know that the funds will be mismanaged and misappropriated. Anyway what do I know…I’m just calling it as I see it. Thanks.

@whowasthatmaskedman not sure what a republican possibility is.

@whowasthatmaskedman okay, but what is a republican possibility?

@canusernamebemyusername That's why the hat is red, the signature is unreadable, and his logic is convoluted.

maga!

@JoeyFoxx Nope, but it's a start. Maybe if we stopped tearing at it and tried to craft a sensible solution we'd be about further down the road.

@JoeyFoxx 4 years of tearing it down sure doesn’t help.

@Like2play I'm not defending anyone trying to tear it down. But that doesn't justify claiming that it is something that it is not.

@Like2play I couldn't afford medical insurance through Obama nor Trump, and believe me I tried. Had a long argument with the representative I talked to last when it was time to enroll. All these groups lie.

The fact is, free anything always benefits certain groups of people with stipulations over others. That's how it always been. The people who benefit will mock others who don't because they're the ones who are privilege. They'll belittle or minimize their experiences.

Same with private insurance, if you got good private insurance and are lucky to afford it, the people who can't always get screwed and then the opposite happens.

This leaves little room for any compassion nor understanding for the two opposing groups.
