It’s an edit. The original has one guy saying 6, the other saying 9, because the creator naively thought “oh the political divide is really just down to people not understanding each other”. This is a fairly common opinion of dipshit american centrists.
The edited version points out how this is incorrect, and that in reality different people have entirely different political views which cannot be reconciled. The example used is that rich people (the same ones that make up the US government and receive bribes from health insurance companies, for instance) want to keep making money from predatory health insurance and so oppose universal healthcare, while the average citizen supports universal healthcare.
It isn’t just fucking poor people. It’s paying out the ass to fuck poor people. Are they so committed to their principles that they wouldn’t want to save a ton of money?
The actual rich who control our society aren’t paying out the ass, they’re the ones being paid.
Rank and file “working class” conservatives are deliberately poorly educated and fed endless propaganda to get them to vote against their interests and in favor of the rich.
Conservatives of moderate wealth, the “middle class” of small business tyrants and boat salesmen, live in constant abject terror of losing what they have. They know that if wealth were distributed equally, their quality of life would go down. As a result, they fight against any change towards redistribution of wealth, even if it would be beneficial.
It’s not. The two people in the picture are disagreeing. The joke is that normally this picture would be captioned with two people simply disagreeing over weather the shape is a 6 or a 9, but instead they’re disagreeing with a political position.
Why’s universal health care bad for poor people? Please educate me.

Because the cruelty is the point

Yeah, doesn’t the US congress have one of the best healthcare plan available to an American citizen? Really makes you think
Ah, thank you very much. So, that’s the actual meaning of the post.

Thank you. Make sense.
Says why right in the picture.
“Fuck them poor people”
