Let’s assume we want all people to have health care. What are the steps / methods most likely to get us there?
In the U.S. seems like we’re a long way from that goal. I’m curious about chunking down the big goal into smaller steps. Interested to hear perspectives from other countries too.
People need to vote.
If all the eligible people voted in the US, we could have universal healthcare in a year. Biden needs a super majority in both Houses.
You’re not wrong. At the same time, I’m looking for steps, specifics.
That’s not how our democracy works unfortunately. We are a representative democracy, and regardless of the way the majority vote, our representatives can and do act against the general populace on a consistent basis.
What are the odds people actually vote for it though? I’m of the impression that most Americans would rather to pay for healthcare than have it taken out of their taxes.
I mean with all the republicans competing to defend the most departments, 2024 might be our year. Then again there’s a fuckload of people in the United States who still worship Reagan so who the hell knows.
Fuck I hope so this sucks. My mother just fucked up her ankle and refuses to go to the doctor because we can’t afford it. I’m afraid it’s gonna be something bad that ends up being permanent if she doesn’t seek treatment. Makes me feel sick.
