We don’t have a healthcare system in the US, we have an insurance racket.

    It’s weird because most hate it. I remember when Michael Moore’s movie came out and even those in red states were gathering together to say that if we let this go on then we’re complicit!

    Then I think I remember Fox News and the right-wing going on a blitz. “Death Panels” and shit

    Look at this disinformation campaign. This is what pisses me off about this “both sides” bullshit. Also, whenever any comedian jerks themselves off about speaking the truth and being philosophers going off on woke when they shut their mouths about shit like this.

      “Death Panels” and shit

      That was honestly the part that pissed me off the most about that whole discourse, mainly because we already had death panels and they were regularly sentencing people to death in order to save money.

      They were called insurance companies, and they were able to drop your coverage and sentence you to death because you can’t afford to pay to stay alive.
