Oooooo myyyy goooooóoooooood!
He's threatening us with a good time
Healthcare would be great, but at this point I'd still settle for taco trucks on every corner...
Best we can do is one half price taco for every ten major medical procedures you can't afford.
Basic tacos only! Not premium tacos!
…that’s still a lot of tacos.
Neoliberal swine abound…we ain’t getting healthcare.
Yet another Trump lie.
According to the article the latest word from Kamala Harris is what Trump claimed. “Her spokesperson” (unnamed in the article) reversed it, but the article gives no report on Harris’s actual position.
If you know of more up to date information on Harris’s position, please mention it.
I think the original comment might be referring to the fact that the US wouldn't allow it even if it were the current sitting president's stance. See the last 50 years for references
The horrors!
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
That’s not what this article claims.
Don't threaten me with a good time!
A vote for Bart is a vote for Anarchy!
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.
If you’re got universal health care, I don’t see how that would lead to voting for Democrats?
I'm a Candian. I'm suggesting that voting for Democrats would be far more likely to get you universal healthcare than voting for the neo-fascist Christian nationalists.
Sadly, it is not.
Democrats could have implemented a universal health care system under Obama, but chose not to. They, as much as Republicans, are profiting from the price gouging in our health care system.
They didn't do it last time so vote neo-fascist Christian national because they surely will? Give you fucking head a shake.
They didn't do it last time.
Respectfully, it's not "they didn't do it last time". It's "they never do it". It's never going to happen. Democrats have demonstrated that they are just a corrupt cog in the system, a system that ensures the wealthy keep acquiring vulgar sums of money they don't need, while life gets harder and harder for the working class and the poor.
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 :(
I'm sorry you (and all of us) are stuck with this system.
I wish Democrats were as cool as Republicans make them out to be.
The old Simpsons is pure gold
Be the radical leftist they're afraid you are
Absolutely!
So all former presidents are now campaigning for Harris?
Looks like it 😄
“You’re all going to be thrown into a communist system … You’re going to be thrown into a system where everybody gets health care.”
I thought that it wasn't possible to be that stupid and that you just took his words out of context, but.... once again he proved me that he could sound more stupid every time he opens his mouth
words out of context
lol when your "context" is "the only truth that exists is whatever i just sharted out of my mouth," then does anyone else's perception of context even matter?
someone tried to argue that everyone was taking the "you won't have to vote anymore" statement a couple weeks ago out of context. then some GOP muppet tried to say he was joking. after years of GOP bleating about "i love trump because he speaks his mind!"
for someone who speaks his mind and tells it like it is, trump sure does need a lot of ~~explanation~~ olympics-tier mental acrobatics to get to what he really meant when he said ___________ (literally anything)
