Obamacare is a stepping stone to achieving that, but Republicans are hellbent on either making it worse or simply destroying it like they’ve done everything else

I guess the remaining third is the die-hard trump voter who thinks health care is socialism or something?

You know if you voted for universal healthcare you could get it. See: Every fucking country for an example.

Well, if they really cared, they’d pool their money together and buy off congress members.

Provide for the common defense and promote the general welfare. Healthcare is not ~~inelastic~~ elastic demand. Abuse of inelastic demand is not capitalism. Its opportunism. Our government should know the difference and prevent this form of abuse.

1. Most people will support universal healthcare without knowing what it really means.
2. They will believe whatever Kool-Aid their favorite politicians are feeding them.
3. The people with money (and power) will pay the politicians to not support a true universal healthcare.
4. Then some of the politicians will craft various spins, none of which are practical or implementable or will actually help Americans and stop draining GDP.
5. Now the influential people (with money and power) will be screaming in social media how they hate to pay for other sick people.
The cycle continues.

Why half the people want to give a big chunk of dollars to insurance companies who deny service and add no value is beyond me. Look at nordic countries – universal healthcare & happier citizens.
I know universal healthcare will have issues – but it won’t be over how many peopled to deny coverage so executives earn their bonuses.

At this point in my life I am a single issue voter and my issue is ending health insurance and having a single payer, government run health system. I do not understand the absolute objection to this kind of proven system.

But do 2/3 of the billionaires?

The Republicans are SOOOO out of touch on this. Take that idiot savings plan thing they floated. Even the Wall Street Journal noted it wouldn’t cover much of anything, and that the issue is coverage.
The Republicans haven’t even gotten behind the existing conditions provisions; that’s even more popular with people.
Maybe they should see a therapist about their problem….

Our constitution should recognize Health Care as American human right.
A healthy nation has healthy people. Remove Trump and RFK now to save our lives.

Ensuring health care for all is Medicare for All.
1 pool of money
Single Payer – that payer being the US Government
It is paid for by a tax
That tax can be smaller if we actually had a progressive tax system that taxed the rich. In Australia this tax is 2% of your income. That comes to 166 dollars a month for a 100,000 dollar household. It covers your whole household including your kids. If you make more you pay more if you make less you pay less. If you don’t have a job its free and you still have coverage.
How does it work?
You pay a small income tax for health care like the social security one.
That money goes into a big pool.
When you are sick or injured you go to a hospital.
They don’t charge you shit. You get your care, you leave.
You don’t pay for meds.
The government negotiates the price of everything.
Which countries use this system?
Literally everyone else besides the United States of Fucking America.

Ah, 1/3 of Americans are still psychos.
Naughty-licious on
When two-thirds of Americans want government action, it’s hard to chalk that up to partisanship. People aren’t asking for less government, they want solutions. If politicians keep ignoring that, they’re basically sign-posting their own irrelevance.
rocketblue11 on
It’s funny, most Americans when asked overwhelmingly want liberal things like healthcare. They just want it from someone with an R next to their name instead of a D.
It’s the great American paradox, and it results in things like people hating Obamacare and simultaneously loving the Affordable Care Act.

Universal healthcare? What are you, some socialist??? /s

The people who decides not to give health care to all, already have there health care guarantee.

I guess wanting to be healthy and not injured instead of sick and hurt is socialism these days. All humans are socialists then 🤷♂️

“Ensure healthcare for all” isn’t what we want.
We want universal public healthcare. Not a for profit system. We don’t want employers holding employees hostage. We don’t want tax dollars funneled into investors and CEOs pockets, or wasted on TV ads. We don’t want half the country dependent on ERs because they can’t afford preventive care.
Van-garde on
Hasn’t it been this way for like 3-4 decades?

The other 1/3 is probably already on Medicare or part of the maga cult.

Good luck getting universal healthcare. The supreme Court will never allow it. 2016 determined that it would never happen.
grundee on
It’s not even cheaper doing it this way. An additional 5% tax would be cheaper than insurance premiums for 90% of people, including high earners too.
LomentMomentum on
That’s good to know, but there’s a big difference between saying you want the government to ensure health care for all and actually doing it.

Just a reminder that only two-thirds of eligible voters actually voted in 2024. Meaning, the combination of people that don’t vote and vote Democrat might make up “two-thirds of Americans,” but it doesn’t make up two-thirds *of voters*, which is all that matters.

Shame they don’t actually vote that way.

And half of those who vote for it, don’t vote in elections, which is why we don’t have it.

Remaining 1/3 is baffling to me. With the exception of top 1% of the food chain, are the 1/3 like they are okay not getting health insurance as long as the other 2/3 don’t it?
PeanutBubbah on
Then why don’t at least 2/3 of them vote? Democracy relies on people voting. Without participation it will die.

No problem, the other 1/3 will probably die of some curable ailments!
Just saying.

What choice will they have once AI eliminates half of the workforce? UBI is going to become a necessity in less than 50 years and they are still pretending that healthcare isn’t a human right. The future looks pretty grim for the USA.

100% of insurance company’s disagree. that’s who two many people in congress represent. they got big money and you don’t.
It’s a big club, and you ain’t in it.

Then these people should be voting, but instead they didn’t care enough to show up and vote or they actively voted against their own self interests. More than half this country is stupid as hell.
