Why is America so against Universal Healthcare unironically? We’re more than capable of having it
>>
america is just a bit bloody shit
>>
>>220292887
I honestly don't want to pay for care for people that do not care for themselves.
If everyone contributed, sure, whatever, but some people are just drains on the system and make choices that are detrimental to their health while still seeking for their care to be paid for by others.
>>
no one looks like that
>>
i don't care what happens to others
>>
>>220292887
Most Americans don't even realize it would put a leash on medical spending. They want to get raped up the ass paying $2k for a half mile drive in an amberlamps.

If you're referring to fat fucks, then I agree. That's a whole 'nother issue with our garbage food system here that also needs to be revamped

Yeah fat fucks in general.
Then there's just another whole category of lazy and entitled people.

You guys are still too retarded to realise that good healthcare actually lowers the overall cost of healthcare, for example getting pre-diabetics to a doctor as soon as they're experiencing symptoms and getting them to follow a diet costs far less than people ignoring symptoms because it's all too expensive then suddenly their foot falls off and they become a massive burden on the healthcare system.

Maybe they shouldnt be retarded and refrain from shoveling sweets into their mouths like a child
this is not my problem

>>220293432
it is your problem because it raises insurance rates for everyone else.

In any country, when vested interests seize power, they fear losing it.

However, I think America is an extreme example.
>>
>>220293468
I don't have insurance, don't need it because im smart enough to take care of myself
So no, it's not my problem
>>
>>220292887
I'm against a government entirely.
>>
>>220293432
>Maybe they shouldnt be retarded and refrain from shoveling sweets into their mouths like a child
Ideally those people would be euthanised but alas that's a somewhat unrealistic proposition, healthcare is the most realistic solution.
>this is not my problem
It literally is though, why are Americans so insanely retarded about this.
The people around you and in your community matter to your wellbeing, it's not impossible to live in some fully self-contained bubble even if you are the kind of loser living out in the middle of nowhere and only shopping at the megamart once a week.

STOP RIGHT THERE RETARD
>>
>>220292967
we end up paying anyway. It's a myth that people are dying because of lack of medical care. The emergency room never rejects people who can't pay, and never asks for cash up front. And when they can't pay, the cost gets passed on to the rest of us.
>>
>>220292887
I would only support it in cases of workplace accidents, victims of violent crimes, and minors doing dumb shit because they're twelve. If some grown ass faggot deliberately tries to boof a can of febreze to try and get high it's not my problem, xis parents can pay for the fallout if they even care enough.
>>
>>220293733
emergency rooms will stabilize people but you won't be able to get care outside of that, which is what saves people.

Much better to give everyone guns to shoot themselves with.
>>
>>220292967
>>220292887
Because of bring retarded and spiteful
America pays about the same tax as us, canada, england, poo peeland. And the American government pays more per capita on healthcare.

But because there is no public healthcare and that money is getting shovelled into insurance companies faces, people think less money is being sent
>>

no, USA has way lower tax rates than us other than maybe New York and California which would be about a little less than us as best.

>>

wrong, you can literally buy guns in walmarts there lmao
>>
>>220293946
he knows; he's trying to imply that most guns are purchased illegally, which is only true for black gangbangers who typically do not use their firearms for suicide.
>>
Americans will gladly pay $800 a month for insurance + $10k deductible when they actually need healthcare as long as that money isn't instead used for higher taxes that would be used for free healthcare at half the cost.
>>
that's gommunism o algo, americans are slaves to big corp lobby

>>220292887
our economy and government is based on pure capitalism, and parts of it always have been. FDR was an anomaly created by public outcry against the pur capitalism that wrecked the world economy. He created Social Security, which the capitalists have been trying to get rid of for 90 years. LBJ came up with Medicare and they've been trying to get rid of that for 60 years.

It would take a complete economic collapse, again, for anything to change again, and there are some safeguards against that. Ironically, it was FDR that created those safeguards.
>>
>>220293986
Most guns used in crimes are legally registered. Many of them have been stolen from the legal owner.
Black crime is the direct result of southern farmers importing blacks for cheap labor. This has resulted in the crime we see today. Yep, lazy, fat, southern redneck farmers created the black culture in the US.

So you want a system that can either forces you to call your insurance provider and the hospital/clinic constantly or get totally fucked by the insurance saying "nah we ain't paying for that"? A system where non-healthcare workers, midwits and drop-outs, or non-practicing doctors and surgeons can decide that you don't need that vital surgery or that they'll only pay for steps three and five in a seven step surgery treatment like it's a fucking buffet?

Because making goods and services others must provide into "human rights" and centralized federal systems is innately rife with corruption and leaves citizens no meaningful recourse against or consent to those systems, and enshrines an additional element of slavery into the system for no actual tangible benefit (people can still sue and collude and drive costs up through fraud)

I'm genuinely convinced that Conservatives in the US don't actually have any thought out principals derived from logical reasoning, they simply opposed universal healthcare because the status quo is no universal healthcare and Conservatism (literally on the name) is just about keeping the status quo.
If the Status Quo was universal healthcare then they'd be in favour of it, but since it's not they viciously oppose it. That's it, there's literally nothing else to it, they don't really think a lot or have any iron principles.
I'm quite conservative for Australia, but American Cons are just unbelievable and I refuse to associate with them.
