Yeah when I say fix healthcare I mean universal healthcare. ACA was a bunch of half-assed bullshit.
I wouldn’t say that fixing healthcare is a prerequisite for fixing transportation. Shitty people on transit aren’t as big of an issue as people on reddit (and now lemmy I guess) make it out to be, and frankly I’d prefer those people were on buses or trains instead of behind the wheel of a two ton death machine. Besides, there are plenty of shitty drivers who aren’t mentally unwell, so it’s not as though solving healthcare is going to do much to fix the issues with transit.
But yeah I agree, dismantling capitalism and the fascists supporting it is necessary to fix either problem. The oil industry is one of the biggest contributors to climate change, anyway, so there’s no reason why we shouldn’t be getting rid of them.
Tell me you weren’t paying attention to US politics in 2008-2010 (which were the two fucking years of nonstop backbreaking fucking effort it got the ACA to be passed) without telling me you weren’t paying attention.
Still not single-payer, still a half-assed solution. The rest of the world figured out healthcare ages ago, long before ACA was written up. There’s no excuse for this insurance industry enabling nonsense.
