    Amen - I could retire early and comfortably if I had guaranteed healthcare. As it is, I’ll have to work until I die.

    Republican’s response:

    A little bit of Venezuela in my life
    A little bit of Greenland by my side
    A little bit of Cuba is all I need
    A little bit of Canada is what I see
    A little bit of Mexico in the sun

      Considering how the Trump administration feels about soldiers, I don’t expect that to be a sure thing for long.

    Trump: We have healthcare, the best healthcare actually. Better than anybody else. Some people say… you get it

    The healthcare at home: Venezuelan oil

      We have healthcare, the best healthcare actually

      We actually do. We have some of the best healthcare in the world if you can afford it, and healthcare stats that make it absolutely clear just how few people that is.

    I’m blocking you because you post too much politics to what I think should be non political communities. Bye.

    Good news! The democrats will win a landslide victory in 2026 and guarantee you health care!

    Until 2028 when they need to compromise with the republicans on a spending bill.

      Even if support for democrats is at a landslide level, there’s a whole lot of things that the Trump admin can do to avoid them getting a victory, starting with voter suppression and ending with lying about the results.

      Somehow everything the Democrats promise takes until very close to the cycle after they’re elected until they even talk about it. Then, of course, they need your votes again so they can do the thing they promised the first time. Then (Insert Needed # of Dems here) will have some problem with it so it falls through and Dems lose the next cycle because of some reason that is the voters’ fault.

        dems(*DNC) dont want to lose thier only single issue voter cards: healthcare,etc. which is why they always try to use it as a carrot, and drops it or half-ass it when they get elected.

          Maybe if voters weren’t so goddamn fickle, they wouldn’t feel the need to do shit like that. If they didn’t do that, they’d just never get elected period.

            Or they could pass the things they promised when they have the chance like everyone wants and improve people’s lives buying themselves tons of goodwill with the voters in the future.

      doubtful, if they are just having newsom, for '28. especially with Walz dropping out in minnesota, is problematic, because the gop/conservatives are trying hard to get a GOP elected in that state. if he can back down from a race this easy, it would be easy for republicans to keep threatening people til they dont run anymore.

    “if I were to give you free healthcare, ok not free… lightly subsidised healthcare would you stop asking about the Epstein list and about all those kids I raped?” Tick one answer below:
    (A) Yes.
    (B) No, keep going to war and doing other shit to distract us!

    Don’t you plebs get it yet… having healthcare would make you less indentured to the ownership class, and there’s absolutely NO WAY the shareholders should have to endure that. Wake up!

      I recall one party trying really hard to improve things, and the other trying really hard to make sure they could still use healthcare to punish people

        I recall one party trying really hard to improve things

        I recall that party finding just enough no votes like they always do. No party wants healthcare.

        If democrats supported healthcare with a quarter of the tenacity with which they support netanyahu, we would have free healthcare for everyone in this country.

    Get invaded by Canada, Cuba or Greeland (Denmark) and you’ll get first class healthcare (you’ll have to give up your guns though). Get invaded by Mexico or Venezuela and the situation is a bit complicated, but you at least get basic medical care for free.
