Probably gonna anger both sides here, but I see both private insurance and single-payer healthcare as equally-evil scams. Why not focus on driving down costs of healthcare (i.e. EVERYTHING) so that you throw a couple bucks at the receptionist to cover your surgery then check to see if you have enough for a post-surgery soda?
It’s been going on for over a decade, so I’m pretty much used to it by now. Whether it’s a Republican or Democrat, a racist homophobe, or an anti-business bureaucrat who believes in taxing the hell out of everyone, every politician is a rich elite that ignores the will of the people and completely mucks up everything. I just accept it. I accept that they’re not the King. They’re subject to the Sovereign King, God, and will eventually answer to him, just like I will have to.
Also, I’ve had my own share of issues just finding steady work, so politics is just a background noise when it’s shaky where my next meal is coming from.
