luckily i dont have any diabetes or health issues 🙂

Universal Health Care is a meme on the Left.

2020-01-26 00:39:32 UTC  

They wouldn't be able to maintain it.

2020-01-26 00:39:33 UTC  

It would cost far too much anyway

2020-01-26 00:39:51 UTC  

I'd rather pay out the ass than have some people I've never met decide I can't get healthcare.

2020-01-26 00:39:58 UTC  

It would be possible with a conservative point of view of a system.

2020-01-26 00:40:05 UTC  

A better policy would be using UBI to try and help those in poverty pay for their own healthcare

2020-01-26 00:40:30 UTC  

Not a good one though xD

2020-01-26 00:40:31 UTC  

It wouldn't cost as much for one

2020-01-26 00:40:32 UTC  

The problem is that America isn't culturally read for it.

2020-01-26 00:40:32 UTC  

Or just deregulate the crap out of it.

2020-01-26 00:40:45 UTC  

Why should going into a hospital be any different from going to a convenient store?

2020-01-26 00:40:56 UTC  

the welfare state is causing people to stay in poverty. so we will give the impoverished more money because the problem is clearly that they arent being given enough money

i would look into Yang's UBI policies, and all of his other policies as well, he's the candidate with the most policies on his website. pretty insightful tax options, like a VAT tax.

2020-01-26 00:41:27 UTC  

No more taxes.

2020-01-26 00:41:30 UTC  

No it's because many people are not able to get employment or not able to get well paying employment and we need to be able to help those people

2020-01-26 00:41:34 UTC  

Yeah it wouldn't be enough to pay for it, he suspects massive economic growth which won't happen as it's just redistributing existing money

2020-01-26 00:41:44 UTC  

There's a 5 cent tax on Soda in my state.

2020-01-26 00:41:50 UTC  

I've written up a thing on healthcare comparisons before

2020-01-26 00:41:58 UTC  

and basically the U.S. has a way higher survival rate than most of europe

2020-01-26 00:41:59 UTC  

first you get some boots and some boot straps @The Electric Lizard

2020-01-26 00:42:01 UTC  

And people have the gall to say it's not a tax, it's a "deposit".

2020-01-26 00:42:10 UTC  

the UK has like a 45% higher death rate in hospitals than the U.S.

2020-01-26 00:42:15 UTC  

their healthcare system is basically garbage

2020-01-26 00:42:19 UTC  

copying it would be silly

2020-01-26 00:42:22 UTC  

then you know. you got a problem with google and your poor?

2020-01-26 00:42:22 UTC  

It's free

2020-01-26 00:42:25 UTC  

make your own google

2020-01-26 00:42:27 UTC  

boom.

2020-01-26 00:42:27 UTC  

it may sound nice on paper to have a UBI, but it's terrible

2020-01-26 00:42:37 UTC  

nothing is free as you have to pay for it in taxes xD

2020-01-26 00:42:39 UTC  

UBI is a brilliant policy

2020-01-26 00:42:42 UTC  

Also, isn't the only reason that those countries can have socialized healthcare because we're bankrolling their militaries?

2020-01-26 00:42:49 UTC  

With increasing automation unemployment will increase

2020-01-26 00:42:56 UTC  

GUYS GUYS

2020-01-26 00:42:58 UTC  

its not UBI

2020-01-26 00:43:01 UTC  

We need to make sure that those people aren't stuck in poverty

2020-01-26 00:43:02 UTC  

its the Freedom Dividend
