    This is the kind of shit that gets actually useful leftist ideals thrown in the trash by normies

    “Oh THOSE people? Yeah they’re all crazy China-Stan’s, who the fuck knows why”

    Bro 2% of your paycheck is not more than you pay now in premiums I’m begging you for universal healthcare

    “Why so I can’t *chose* my own doctor? So I can wait in line like in CANADA?”

    Ugh it’s fucking infuriating

      Unless it’s life threatening, we all wait in line at the ER. It takes me 4 months to get an appointment with my PCP, and any specialists tests take weeks to get (again, unless it’s a need-it-right-now thing like a chest X-ray for pneumonia). You wait your turn at any walk-in clinic.

      Dunno why anyone thinks we have it special in the US.

      Oh, wait…if you’re wealthy you can get seen immediately. Guess everyone’s wealthy in the US.
