    Just imagine living in a first world country where they provide free Netflix instead of maintaining an insanely large military.

      As an American, I’d rather die a preventable death then share free healthcare with someone I don’t think deserves it! /s

      It’s not either/or. I think even if we joined all the other modern countries in providing universal healthcare for all our citizens, we’d still be spending more on our bloated, unaudited military than the next countries combined, but feel free to fact check that.

      This point is overdone, but Americans spend more than other developed countries on healthcare, so it’s not even an austerity thing.

            Appreciate you for the links!

            Whoever down voted me, go back to your echo chamber where you can stay an ignorant dipshit that takes everything you see on the internet as factual.

            Im just asking for citations to encourage spreading good information instead of AI generated hallucination trash and right-wing/cult/heresay nonsense.

              If you don’t wanna be downvoted, maybe don’t be so aggressive when you ask for citations.

              I’m gonna assume you’re another liar spewing bullshit.

              is a bit antagonistic for “just asking”. A little civility will take you a long way.

              this isn’t reddit. you can ask for sources politely or you can get downvotes. we like to encourage civility.

      Don’t be smug about it. American insurance companies will eventually also come to your country.

        Maybe, maybe not. Our right wing idiots at least seem to value their own health and wellness enough to not approve of dismantling healthcare.
