Good news! The democrats will win a landslide victory in 2026 and guarantee you health care!
Until 2028 when they need to compromise with the republicans on a spending bill.
Somehow everything the Democrats promise takes until very close to the cycle after they’re elected until they even talk about it. Then, of course, they need your votes again so they can do the thing they promised the first time. Then (Insert Needed # of Dems here) will have some problem with it so it falls through and Dems lose the next cycle because of some reason that is the voters’ fault.
dems(*DNC) dont want to lose thier only single issue voter cards: healthcare,etc. which is why they always try to use it as a carrot, and drops it or half-ass it when they get elected.
Maybe if voters weren’t so goddamn fickle, they wouldn’t feel the need to do shit like that. If they didn’t do that, they’d just never get elected period.
Or they could pass the things they promised when they have the chance like everyone wants and improve people’s lives buying themselves tons of goodwill with the voters in the future.
goodwill with voters, yes, but not with their constituents (big business)
I remember that time Obama gave us universal health care. Good times. 😕
Even if support for democrats is at a landslide level, there’s a whole lot of things that the Trump admin can do to avoid them getting a victory, starting with voter suppression and ending with lying about the results.
doubtful, if they are just having newsom, for '28. especially with Walz dropping out in minnesota, is problematic, because the gop/conservatives are trying hard to get a GOP elected in that state. if he can back down from a race this easy, it would be easy for republicans to keep threatening people til they dont run anymore.
Too bad you can’t invade healthcare
Mario’s Green Brother did
Not really, just made a hit on some lowlife insurance fraudster
Better than nothing.
No problem, those weren’t for you anyway. They’re for Exxon, Chevron. Elon, and all of Trumps friends and sycophants to divide up amongst themselves.
They do not want you in Iran.
They do not want you in Japan.
They do not want you here or there.
They do not want you anywhere.
They do not want you. Understand?
Just calm the fuck down, Uncle Sam.
Best I can do is a couple of forever wars.
Republican’s response:
A little bit of Venezuela in my life
A little bit of Greenland by my side
A little bit of Cuba is all I need
A little bit of Canada is what I see
A little bit of Mexico in the sunA little bit of oil makes me your man
Lou Bega intensifies
I would have loved a North American Union with free trade, freedom of movement, and shared currency between Canada, the US, and Mexico, maybe even Cuba as well if it didn’t infringe on their communism. But that was a dream from a more naive time when we could’ve been better neighbors.
These days it’s enough to demand that our borders and healthcare costs don’t increase. No new wars, no new territories, and we need to let Puerto Rico choose between statehood and independence.
Puerto Rico can’t currently choose between statehood, continued territory status, or freedom. Not because they don’t have agency, but because there’s no consensus among Puerto Ricans. There are advantages and disadvantages for all three options. As I’m not Puerto Rican, I don’t have a say in the debate.The majority voted for statehood… but as long GOP controls congress, they dont have a chance because they’ll lost their advantage.
Same with DC. Practically everyone there wants statehood, the license plates have “no taxation without representation” as a protest even, but Congress kills it every time it comes up.
The reason they are not a state has to do entirely with racism. Hell, they were actively sterilizing Puerto Rican women up to the 70’s to try and stop them from having so many brown babies
Ahh, sorry. My info was out of date. I live on the opposite coast so I hadn’t heard anything about PR in some time.
Amen - I could retire early and comfortably if I had guaranteed healthcare. As it is, I’ll have to work until I die.
Just the way they want it.
If you retire, how are the billionaires supposed to extract maximum profit out of you? Now get back to work, you lazy slob!
Women are so hard to read…

“Well, if you would just listen t–”
“So mysterious.”
Fuck my life. I just found out my medicine (life saving, cannot live without medicine) has gone up in price 10x because of new insurance I got this year. Fuck me, right? In other countries, it’s pennies, here it’s hundreds of dollars.
i just got too much income to use the state healthcare, but the ACA subsidies has ended? so i cant really afford that anyways. and i have chronic skin conditions which means i would need refills often.
try contacting the manufacturer, maybe they have a program to help make it affordable.
I’m sure they know that. Point of the post is that they shouldn’t have to.
sometimes its not much of a discount in most cases, if its something like expensive one like biologics. he might want to look into coupons, many sites have them, but EXPENSIVE name brand ones are still too expensive.
Run away from that shithole as fast as you can.
Just engage in the army and kill people for free health care.
Considering how the Trump administration feels about soldiers, I don’t expect that to be a sure thing for long.
Healthcare make line go down in the short term
I can guarantee that if the Americans try to take Canada a whole lot of them will have all their healthcare worries taken care of.
Hey US Americans, quick reminder that quality, affordable healthcare is available abroad; I use it and you can ask about healthcare here or in travel.
My sister travels to Mexico (from Nashville, TN) for healthcare she can afford.
That’s great. I hear from a lot of travelers that Mexican hospitals provide high quality, affordable healthcare.
If I ever get cancer then this is the route I’m going to cure it. Fuck this country when it comes to how they rob you if you have cancer.
I am right there with you. In Cambodia, I was friends with a group of old guys from the US and all four of them were able to treat serious medical conditions by avoiding US “healthcare”. One of them had won a years-long battle against cancer right before i met them which he never could have afforded in the US.
Would have died years ago in the US, instead he was sitting around a table eating sushi and drinking beer with friends.
My health problems have largely been dental, and Thailand dentists unequivocally superseded the quality of care in the US for less than 1/3 of the cost at the relatively expensive bangkok clinic, BIDC.
If you ever want info about health care abroad, reach out to me at Travel.
There’s some good healthcare info in this post, too.
Hope you got a nice vacation out of it too. My great uncle died in Thailand during the Vietnam War so I’ve always wanted to go there for that reason.
Thanks, i live abroad full time so it’s all been a vacation for the past 15 years!
Cambodia was great: angkor wat is fascinating, the towns are all chill and i got to hang out with those old guys at a great sushi bar/microbrewery while they told all their stories.
I’ve backpacked and lived all over Thailand more than a few times, i recommend it fairly constantly. Great food, people, nature, waterfalls, you’ll appreciate giving it a go.
2nd link is just a picture.
Thanks, fixed.
What she also wanted to do was fund a Nazi with a blue checkmark.
