It’s the old “why should I pay for someone else’s healthcare???”.
They’re too dumb to realize everyone else helps pay for their healthcare.
everyone else helps pay for their healthcare.
Everyone else minus a select few parasites who instead make their healthcare vastly more expensive to balance it out – the American way. 🇵🇷🦅⛪🗽🔫🎆
They’ve never heard of communicable diseases either.
"Why should I pay for someone else's healthcare?"
Because one day, someone will pay your healthcare you absolutely rotten piece of shit.
I have a friend whom I have this argument with frequently, not about health care specifically but other socialized benefits (e.g. SNAP). He's even a leftist, but still thinks he shouldn't have to pay for people who "take advantage of the system" (e.g. spend their SNAP benefits on things he doesn't believe should qualify, or receive SNAP benefits while spending their 'real' money on things he considers non-essential).
The fact that there are corporations getting orders of magnitude more in handouts, or that we're spending an unreal amount of money on the military, or that there's unfathomable amounts of corruption in the government, and that those benefits are in actuality a tiny fraction of what his taxes go to, makes no difference. He doesn't want people at the bottom to get an ounce more than he believes they strictly need or deserve, and I cannot for the life of me understand that line of thought.
When you say "leftist" I assume you mean liberal Democrat.
You’re already paying for everyone else’s healthcare. Medicare for all would just make it cheaper and simpler.
What do you think happens when somebody walks into a hospital with no insurance? Do they just turn them away? No. Who do you think pays for that? You do. It’s paid for in the markup of your hospital bill.
It’s the Southern Strategy, but without Nixon’s charm or Reagan’s intelligence.
Exactly
I....honestly am not sure if this is an onion. :'(
No silly, it's an online post
Bad if you hate certain people.
I hate uncertain people
He made a similar statement during 24 campaign that if Harris won we'd all have to live with everyone having healthcare. Party has been doublethinking on this for a long time.
Threatening people with good times
Only if you're a racist prick, which Trump voters are
Conservatives: well we already believe a story written by men thousands of years ago, we aren’t about to stop now lol
Their evil is showing
