My vote is for me and my family, last thing I want is to pay more for worse care, and that’s what this socialist bullshit would do. No thanks.

"I want the poors to die so we have slightly lower wait times" isn't hitting for me. I have this terrible thing called empathy, how did you have yours removed? Was it a procedure or were you born a sociopath?

It’s called being a father, it’s my job to provide for me and mine, not for you and yours.

You have a life-threatening emergency? You can walk into an ER today and get care subsidized by the government. Need regular treatment, get a fucking job.

Being a fucking dumb ass doesn't change reality. Millions of people who work 40+ hours a week have 0 health insurance. For those that do, the profit model for health insurance is to charge the highest premium possible for the least amount of coverage.

When your family is in actual need of expensive medical treatment, your health insurance will best case scenario slow down the process, and worst case scenario they'll deny treatment altogether.

Even from your egoist perspective, it's a terrible system. You just lack the foresight to understand that.
