    Healthcare should be available for all, not a luxury for the rich

    Politicians should not dictate medical decisions for any person

    Ignoring the shameless virtue signaling, it’s amazing to me how so many people can honestly think these two ideas can exist together.

      Easy: government pays doctors to work … and then fucks off, does nothing else.

      Got any more unsolvable dilemmas for me? I have a few minutes to spare.

        Never thought about it that way. I always healthcare system management, funding, and government representatives would be the hard parts.

      It means that the government should fund healthcare, and have no place in the treatment of any individual. That is a conversation between doctors and patients

      I can think of any number of ways to reconcile them. But they all require a functioning government.

      Which is why all developed countries do this, except the U.S.

        Which is a pretty large barrier. They have government healthcare, but there’s enormous waste and politicization. The US healthcare system is fucked, but we can do better than that.

          Because if there’s one country without waste and politicization in the health “care” system, it’s the US.

          You’re a fucking clown mate 🤡
