The first thing we need to do to fix healthcare in this country is to decouple health insurance from our jobs. If you lose your job you should not lose your health benefits. And no, cobra is not a substitute.
Cobra is asptly named. Bunch of fucking snakes.
$680 fuckin dollars while I’m unemployed, per month??? Get da fuck outta heah
And this is why the longshoremen have to strike when it hurts everyone.
If it’s Boeing, I’m not going
Health care is a human right.
This will help the state of the company for sure.
Universal health is socialism tho
Yes it is. However socialism =/= communism. Awful people have just done a really good job of conflating the two, and treating it as a bad thing. Democratic socialism is a thing, and there was a golden era in the 70s-90s in most other western countries where it was supported by major political parties. These days, as neoliberalism has taken over the world, political parties have tried to walk back these systems. However, they enjoy far too much popular support to be dismantled that easily. Here’s a little bit of info about the support for universal healthcare in Australia:
It’s weird how every other civilized country seems to make it work, though.
Also, Boeing is being outcompeted by a company that pays its workers well, and that is considered a good employer, and that makes planes in countries with high taxes and universal care.
Feeding kids too
Introduce say…shall we call it CHIPS and Sciences Act 2 (milk that sequel).
More jobs in the semiconductor industry, microchips for everyone in the country to track them because everyone is evil, especially those darn foreigners.
Except you know it’s none of that and it hides healthcare for everyone instead, and no politician would ever know because like why the fuck would actually read something and those who do, well I’m sure they’d understand the purpose.
