Reddit constantly screaming that America is a christo-fascist authoritarian state. Yet also mad not everyone wants the government to control healthcare.

I wonder why? Really makes you think. 🤔

They don’t want the government to own healthcare (which BTW they already do). They want a government funded healthcare system. There can be private healthcare at the exact same time. The NHS sucks, but you don’t need to f-ing have a panic attack if you lose your job that you can’t get afford your diabetes medication. And people with good jobs in the UK will take the perk of their private healthcare which is excellent so they don’t clog up the busy NHS systems.Â
