    His message is for those who would rather suffer than have “those” people get help.

    I hate to break it to everyone but she does not currently support single payer nor will her presidency push for it. (At least, that’s the message they’re putting out right now.)

    Never forget that everything Trump says is a lie, even if it’s one you want to believe.

    That said, I think it would be easier to drag her into it than Biden.

    Oh dear god, You mean I’d finally have coverage, like an actual first world nation, to get my hereditary issues looked at, and treated?

    DEAR GOD, THE INHUMANITY OF IT ALL.

      During a rambling press conference at his golf club in Bedminster, New Jersey, Trump said of Harris, “She cosponsored legislation to abolish very popular private health insurance, which 150 [million] Americans rely on, dumping everyone onto inferior socialist government run health care systems with rationing and deadly wait times, while massively raising your taxes. She wants to take away your private health care.

      “It’s the best health care in the world,” he continued, adding, “You’re all going to be thrown into a communist system … You’re going to be thrown into a system where everybody gets health care.”

      She’s going to give you the bad health care. The kind that the foreigners and the blah people get. You’re not going to receive the special elite luxury care. You’re going to get the same care as everyone else.

          You mean like medicare/medicaid?

          The conservative theory is that Medicaid is shit and will kill your mum.

          Medicare is gold, but it only works if we ration it for Boomers exclusively.

          If you “steal” private health insurance to pay for Medicaid, you’re basically murdering people. If you open the doors to Medicare, you’ll use up all the good medicine and “swamp the boat” as it were, ruining it for everyone currently on the plan.

          Its a lot better than the big bowl of fuckall nothing I got now

          Obviously, you don’t need health care. You just need better bootstraps and a stronger pull.

      She does, she has discussed a number of methods of doing so, from expanding medicaid to all Americans, to doing a few other methods of basically using the government as payee, and negotiator, for insurance coverage that will be applied to every tax payer.

      Will she really do anything? Yet to be seen.

    It’s great when a quote is taken out of context, and then you look at the context, and it’s even worse.

    “She cosponsored legislation to abolish very popular private health insurance, which 150 [million] Americans rely on, dumping everyone onto inferior socialist government run health care systems with rationing and deadly wait times, while massively raising your taxes. She wants to take away your private health care.”

    As if 150M Americans have a real choice in private insurance, or that the bureaucracy of the system doesn’t already result in rationing and deadly wait times.

    As a side note, Project 2025 does something similar with cars. Something to the effect of “Americans overwhelmingly prefer cars” to justify ignoring bikes or public transit projects, again as if there was a real choice being offered.

      I just don’t think grandma should be in front of an Obama Death Panel.

      The Death Panel should be guys trying to sacrifice her to the line, someone with zero knowledge of her care typing “no” in a spreadsheet, or, fuck it, let’s get an AI with a 90% error rate (always errs towards denial). Those are the right arbiters to decide the value of someone’s life.
