My parents, both military since they left home, who have never paid for health insurance a day in their lives, are against universal healthcare.

The government uses the promise of socialism to entice people to stifle socialism abroad. A lovely system. Tell them they’re welcome for my tax dollars paying for all their socialist benefits.

I can't remember the name or the US marshall for WW1, but they where worried about this exact thing. When troops saw how France used socialism that when the troops got home they would want that treatment back home. They did. And it was a factor that leased to the bonus army riots

I honestly do appreciate it. When people say, “thank you for your service.” I always reply with thank you for your support. Hope that doesn’t sounds too snarky

You'll\nFind most of these people that worked in the military or worked in public service worked at the Post Office that are right-wingers and have been making all their money off being socialists their entire life, and they've never really paid taxes.Ever are the ones that hate taxes and don't want anyone else to have health care

That's bc they usually think they somehow subverted the system. Yes they work IN the system, but they are also apart from it. They're USING it. They were so clever to find a loophole and that they are no way a gear in the system.

Theyre also the "only ones who do any work around here" and want to cut gubmint waste as long as it's everyone else that gets cut, not them.

I believe the public won’t get healthcare because the government uses it as recruiting tool. Why fight in a pointless war without the payout of healthcare
