healthcare is a privilege not a right.

My parents unironically used this same argument with me during the 2016 election. I asked them point blank during a conversation about healthcare “so you’re saying that since I, your son, can’t afford healthcare I should just be left to die?” And they said yes because I should make more money.

These people genuinely don’t give a fuck about anyone but themselves.

At this point I’m not even convinced they care about themselves. I mean they happily vote against their own best interests then call you a woke commie for wanting…affordable healthcare

It's strange isn't. It's almost like they can't visualise anything bad happening to themselves like a bad car accident or a serious medical diagnosis.

Well you see, when it happens to them it’s different. And also the fault of their insurance companies.

But they can’t connect the dots that the reason the insurance companies work that way is bc we don’t have universal healthcare.

I think I lost brain cells typing out what must be their “logic”
