@randomgeek If you think America doesn’t have #SocializedMedicine, I have a subsidized bridge to sell you: https://ari.aynrand.org/issues/government-and-business/health-care/

If anything, the #pandemic exposed just how much obligating #HealthCare service has devalued doctors, nurses, and other professionals: https://newideal.aynrand.org/unsung-heroes-of-the-pandemic-part-1/

I'm applying for a remote job in another state. Pretty common these days, right?

Raises two issues which can only be resolved by universal health care. But I don't think our representatives have enough of a clue about worker life to grok this essential change/need

(1. I'm deeply invested in my current plan, with being thisclose to hitting my deductible. I can;t change insurance midyear, bc, deductibles aren't transferable. 2. Health insurance--a job perk, right, says Congress---will be useless to me [but part of my compensation package, even though it will cost me a ton to be out of network], as I will be living 1000 miles away from the state university offering me their state insurance.

Being self-employed, or being a remote worker, both demand #singlepayernow #universalhealthcare #socializedmedicine #itstheeconomy

#Intro continued:

As a beneficiary of both US #SocialSecurity and French #SocializedMedicine , I’m interested in both,and #Medicare . I think there”s a difference between #Fascism and #Nazism, but the US press doesn’t recognize it, much less politicians. I watch for signs of either, with trepidation. I also follow #ClimateChange news, admire #Greta .

The social issues that #Zappa wrote about 50+ years ago are still with us. Listen to “Concentration Moon” or “Trouble Every Day” and tremble.

The #MrBeast thing isn't new. It's just a big flashy example of the Orphan Crushing Machine.

Follow-up to my follow-up. Pharmacy called back after I got home. Though they were technically out of the prescribed dose, the pharmacist found TWO (a day's dosage) in the bottom of the bottle. I got back just before closing time. We'll figure the rest out tomorrow. All that took was two miles of walking on my bad foot, at least 9-10 hours of time, two office visits, and 15 miles of mostly wasted driving. And $1.97. 'Merica! #USAHealthCare #socializedmedicine

I love how my point was immediately proven by butthurt Aussies coming in to reassure me that they are in fact better than us LMAO #gunviolence

Like literally my entire point was that y'all think you are superior to us and know what we should do here because you have #socializedmedicine and less than 400 million guns in your country, and y'all just had to immediately make sure that was confirmed for me.

@suchusernamewow Sorry to hear that. Despite everything our idiot politicians in the UK do to undermine it, the #NHS still shines. One of humanity's greatest achievements. Wishing you good #Healthcare and eventually #SocializedMedicine

I live in the #US. The extended family is going on a trip to the #UK next summer. There's a discussion in the group chat about how to buy #healthinsurance for the trip.

...why? I always hear stories about people in countries with "#socializedmedicine" where they broke an ankle and ended up paying $10 for the taxi ride or whatever.

What are these older relatives on about?
