#and universal healthcare

[toughtink]

there’s a lot of things i would love to change about the usa if i was in charge for a day, but probably the least controversial are:

immediate cessation of daylight savings bs nationally. none of this waiting for individual states to pass laws about it, just the whole thing all at once. whatever side of it we’re on when that happens, that’s how it’s gonna stay.

no more medical ads. why is this normal here!!! a lot of places have this banned already because i’m not a fcking doctor and probably shouldn’t be choosing medicine based on a marketing budget!

billboards outlawed. at minimum we should ditch these out in the countryside, take the vermont approach. but seriously, who would miss these? it’s just one step removed from ads blanketing the sky and i want them GONE.

People rarely talk about this but the reason why countries have universal healthcare is because the powers that be understand that for society to work people have to work so when we or our family get sick it’s important to get us back to health. Harsh but true. It’s the same reason why European countries try to find a balance between work and paid days off. A stressed out worker who ends up crashing is no good in the long run.

Which is why it makes no sense that the US doesn’t have universal healthcare. I had no idea how overworked you guys are until I started watching videos were American’s abroad are baffled by “how little” they are expected to work. Some like it, some miss the grind, but they’re all like “Wtf? Why am I not even allowed to work extra hours?”

Universal healthcare just seems like the logical cynical choice for a society that expects its people to work so much, ya know?

Very cool that in the US I have a problem with my ankle that's been ongoing for a year... on real bad days I can feel something in my foot grinding or clicking over something... and I gotta clear this with my insurance before I can get a test that will diagnose this problem I've been having for a year. Extra cool that I have to wait for the time of year when you're allowed to switch insurance providers, bc I want to negotiate with the new insurance providers vs the old ones about whether they should X-Ray my ankle that doesn't work.

Remove health care from your employer. Abolish the idea of medical debt. Give everyone the freedom to change jobs and retain all health care benefits.

Remove the burden on small businesses to provide health insurance.

Imagine that he died because he couldn't get to the hospital because protesters were blocking traffic and the ambulance couldn't get through.

There'd be massive bloodthirsty rage. There'd be massive demands for the government to make sure this never happens again.

There should be just as much rage and demands for change here.
