Oh no! Such horrors!
I wish Democrats were as cool as Republicans make them out to be.
Be the radical leftist they’re afraid you are
Don’t threaten me with a good time
I know, right?!
Unfortunately, Trump is lying as usual:
Harris, who has had shifting stances on health care in the past, confirmed in late July through her campaign that she no longer supports a single-payer health care system.
It’s telling that there’s a chance for big healthcare to come over to her side. It’s the worst kind of good news, since they need to die, and must be aware that any kind of functioning democracy will eventually kill their business model.
But apparently their other current option doesn’t stay bought…?
This was one of my big complaints with Biden and now Harris. I’ll still vote for them, but I have to stay at a shitty job that I fucking hate so that I can afford my mental health subscription.
They charge a subscription fee for mental health?
$25 copay per month for a 5 minute visit so I can get a refill on my $10 prescription. Without insurance the visit is around $200. I’ve considered trying to get prescriptions through one of those online pharmacies to avoid having to go to the doctor every month.
Sooooo…universal health care?
Nope, she’s back on the ACA train 😮💨
The ACA was intend to support single player health care.
She’s taking the Obama position which, it’s the politically savvy one, if they can get all the measures of the ACA through.
The ACA is what Canada did before transitioning to single payer. That had anyways been the goal of the ACA.
The issue is a lot of Americans are resistant to single payer. They think having only 1 choice is like communism or something.
Which is why the ACA had always been the first step. Obama had said as much, publicly.
He’s threatening us with a good time
Perfect example of how the conservative goal is not to “make things better for most people” but to “make things worse for specific groups”
Yup! Wilhoit’s Law is alive and well in the fascist Republican party!
"Conservatism consists of exactly one proposition. There must be in-groups whom the law protects but does not bind, alongside out-groups whom the law binds but does not protect.”
Kamala won’t give us healthcare.
However, back in 2016, Trump promised to give us universal healthcare “the governments gonna pay for it!” when he did that interview with O’Donnel? I think
U guys are about to become a 1st world country I’m so proud.
Sadly no. She’s dropped her support for Medicare for all. We’ll be closer than likely ever before, and we might get an option to buy in to Medicare or Medicaid, our two government run systems. If we ever got enough in Congress and Senate to push Medicare for all through, I’m pretty sure she’d sign it, and I don’t think she’s fight against it, but her focus is on Obamacare, because she’s now so tied to the Obama admin through Biden.
If only that were true.
In the US, people like to assert that we have “access” to health care, but that access is subject to a significant paywall, and therefore doesn’t exist if you can’t afford to be price-gouged.
Even with insurance I had to fork over ,$2k for an MRI. I have no idea what I’m gonna do if I actually need surgery
I’m a Candian here so take my advice for what is worth. Vote Democrat as cross the board.
I have cancer. Hodgkins Lymphoma. A felt a lump in my neck on Friday. Called the doctors office on Monday and saw the doctor on Wednesday. In the next two months I had an ultrasound that was, “worrying” followed up by a chest x-ray and full body CT. That necessitated a biopsy which resulted in the positive diagnosis of Hodgkins. That triggered a PET scan, respiratory study, and echocardiogram. I saw my oncologist a week after the PET scan and started chemo two days later. I just had my second infusion this morning and I’m feeling a bit beaten up. They gave me Ondensetron for the night after chemo and Olanzapine for nausea as needed. All I pay for is parking at the hospital and I can claim that on my taxes.
Universal healthcare is really, really hard to implement. That’s why only 22 of the 23 most developed countries in the world have it.
The US health care system is a grotesque lie.
Take a really close look at your insurance policy.
They fuck you over at the beginning with deductible. Then the out-of-pocket maximums come into play. The maximium you can be responsible for is $9,450. More than enough to bankrupt most people. My plan is at $4k per person through my wife’s union job.
Depending on what state you live in you can apply for income based bill reduction as well. These are common in blue states. In red states, consider dying.
I’ll check thank you. I really shouldn’t be complaining. I have a good job and decent healthcare and the issue I am working is not life threatening. Someone with less good healthcare and a chronic disease are fucked over much harder :(
