Medbeds are just a way for conservatives to fantasize about universal healthcare without being called "socialist."

It's a permission structure, an outlet for that unspeakable desire to see a world where the reaction to a person being sick is the very obvious thing: help them, help them get better, do it now.

@futurebird It's strange. Conservatives are mainly christian. I seem to recall jesus being all about selflessly helping the sick. Funny how christians never seem to follow their own rules!

@Nobodyknows789 @futurebird It seems to me, as a European Atheist, that what certain groups in the US (specially Evangelicals) call “Christianism” has nothing to do with the religion, it’s just a frame of reference to validate their bigotry. None of their beliefs fit inside Christian principles, but they feel validated calling themselves “Christians”. They’re quite simply bigots, racists and white supremacists. But that’s just my opinion. I may be wrong.

To be fair, the church in Europe also did some pretty horrendous stuff in the name of god. I don't think it's an American thing I think it's a people who like power thing.
