Healthcare is a human right, fuck everyone who thinks otherwise 🤷

When talking with anyone who disagrees that healthcare is a human right, you only have to pull on the thread a little bit to arrive at the logical corollary to that position:
"If you can't afford healthcare, you deserve to die." 🤮
@dusk I would state it like:
“Those who make it unaffordable deserve to die”
I thought healthcare CEOs would get this by now
@stux Pharma lobby doesn't want to hear anything about that! Their mission is not to cure people, they just keep them healthy enough to create more profit. Otherwise Africa would have been vaccinated during COVID and AIDS wouldn't be an issue anymore.
@stux BuT WhAt AbOuT ThE BiLlIoNaIrEs?
/s in case it's not obvious
@stux YES!
My province is exploring adopting a US based model, like WTF.

@dansup @stux One option would be to have her live in the US and try to register for healthcare there - just average healthcare. Then, try to access it.
When I lived in the US recently I paid high premiums through my employer, and had to guess how much healthcare I would need that year.
I happened to get lucky and when I needed healthcare it was available, but the combined premium and out of pocket expense was almost 20% of my after tax pay, both years.
So be careful what you wish for ...
@stux You are god damn right it is!
@stux If that's the worst thing they think I'll consider it. Otherwise I feel they can just go fuck themselves and I'll do the same.
