Universal Basic Income or Class Warfare

That was kind of a reason I guess.

The results of mutually beneficial trade have been quite incredible though. We wouldn’t have pretty much all of the things that exist in the material world without it.

What a scientific assertion.

Americans should have free health care.

"Poor" on a federal level which means that if someone can't afford health care because of the high cost of living where they are but land above a threshold that makes sense for Alabama, they get hit with the penalty. ACA was a step in the right direction but was clearly meant to be a short term solution as it's incredibly flawed and unsustainable.

**** a penalty. **** a form. **** paying something. **** logging on to some piece of **** website. **** prescriptions. **** premiums. **** co-pays.

Free. Free for everyone no questions asked. No drug test. No x-ray. No doctor being pushy about sticking a finger in your ass. No bull**** about curing cancer. No pretending there’s an opioid crisis. No being in pain since we have the drugs to stop it.

Unfortunately, the ACA was the best Obama could do. He wanted a single payer system, but there were too many so called Democrats that were pressured by the insurance companies. Thus Obama had to settle for what Hilary was pushing in the 2008 primary even though he didn't like it.

If the best you can do is stick a red hot poker up my ass then kill yourself instead.

Then someone else is just going to stick one up there and twist it, too.

Patient: I’m in pain.

Doctor: Sorry. There’s been news stories about people overdosing on street drugs.

Yeah makes sense.

Also stupid:

Person: My knee hurts.
Another person: Smoke weed.

Weed doesn’t do ****all for pain. Sorry.

Next time you’re against something, don’t vote for it. There’s a start.
