Tiffany LiMy timeline is full of layoffs in media and tech. What’s worse is that healthcare in this country is tied to your job. If you lose your job, you lose your ability to pay for doctor’s visits, hospital stays, even life-saving medicine. America deserves better.
Clear Voice@tiffanycli you are telling me. In the richest country in the world, people don't have health insurance!!! And this is not changing any time soon.
author_is_ShrikeTron🔠💉x5@Voice99 @tiffanycli Like QElon, the country is "rich" because it's not spent on the people but horded among the rich and corps.
Esparta@Voice99 @tiffanycli that's correct, people who do the laws and blocks the change see themselves as saivors of their country, you don't want universal health care, that's communism!!
People who vote and support the above seem themselves as supportive of their freedom (?). Why in the hell would I pay for another guy's health?, screw them!
When they get old they just flee to a country with universal health care because healthcare in US is way too expensive!! Why??
Florrie@esparta @Voice99 @tiffanycli "Why in the hell would I pay for another guy's health?, screw them!" This is Republican/libertarian voters as a whole and their phoney patriotism. We should be looking out for each other, caring about our neighbors and even people we don't know. We're stronger and better together. But they can't see past the end of their nose.
@FlorriePuddlefoot totally agree, sorry if I miss the quotes, I was running out of space and the discussion had me so angry. I get why people in power do oppose to plans to provide minimal and dignified health care (they all are greedy, and look to keep their wealth for their own people,) but I don't get why the common people eat all that turd?
Is it so hard to understand that health is not an individual problem? Wasn't the pandemic clear enough?
@esparta I know that throwing the word "toxic" in front of another word may seem trite, but American (toxic) Individualism has sent us careening towards a cliff and we have got to find a way to pull back, find a way to get us all caring about each other. We have such a long way to go; voting rights, taxes, education, jobs, wages, health care. I'm not sure it's in American's nature though.
@FlorriePuddlefoot I'm not sure if it is an American thing. But I'm pretty sure it is human nature to try to be whatever "best" means for, and surely the ultra-individualist doesn't think it will be accomplished while also taking care of someone else's - again, besides their closest ones.
