hyphaethis image is so funny and so sad. healthcare in the united states costs roughly 18x what it does in cuba and yet cuba is overtaking us on life expectancy.
i just want healthcare. "how are we going to pay for it?" we could simply legislate it lmao. universal healthcare is so much fucking cheaper than dying to make the rich richer. we would probly have to raise taxes not to pay for universal healthcare but to control the inflation that would occur from all the extra money circulating in the economy. and it's had popular support for 2 decades. but since those in power refuse to do so we'll have to pay for it with the blood of politicians and corporate executives. their choice not mine.
i was just looking at charts of stuff like life expectancy, infant mortality, maternal mortality of communist states vs the u.s., as i do, and saw this image and just started laughing and sobbing
Levi Beach@hyphae do you happen to know where this graph came from? Very curious about all the reasons why cuz it’s wild. 🤯
