He's trying to appeal to the "fuck you I got mine" crowd. If the peons get healthcare it's going to erode the quality of yours! More waiting! Less quality! Less privilege! Some poor person deserves the same respect and basic human dignity as you? Gross!
Of course most his supporters are borderline poor and it would transform their lives to have guaranteed healthcare, but they're looking ahead to the fanciful days they're millionaires just like trump.
Yeah my dumbass neighbor used to argue that he shouldn't have to pay for women's feminine care when he pays for his medical insurance. And I'm like, "Are you fucking kidding me? Do you have any idea how many male-centric diseases are covered by insurance?" Fucking stupid self-centered dipshits. And it was dumb because in every other way this guy was pretty intelligent.
I don't want my taxes to pay for someone else's healthcare. I want my post tax dollars to pay for wealthy CEOs' yachts, and my tax dollars to pay for some other person's healthcare but at ridiculous rates.
yeah... bombing kids in hospitals in Gaza and corporate tax breaks are aok... but god forbid a poor person gets affordable treatment for his cancer ?? communists !!!!!
Particularly those people, you know? The ones I can't mention directly so I have plausible deniablity, but we all actually know who I'm talking about and it's not even a dogwhistle anymore.
I wouldn't want those people to receive qualitative care. I'd rather pay for some other person's new yacht than for these people's bare necessities.
Right, definitely one of those things I don’t understand. For most of those people, universal healthcare can only be better than what they currently have. Haven’t they seen the mess they’re in?
I do have better health insurance than most, so there is every chance it will be worse for me. That is so worth it! At least it would be cheaper and hopefully less paperwork
