  • Don’t ask for me to help pay for care for others when I can’t afford care myself. Until I can receive care too, my answer to paying for others’ care is solidly no.

    yknow the point of single payer is that it becomes cheaper for everyone because you all of a sudden have bargaining power… right?

    you could afford healthcare if you contributed to a big pool that paid for everyone… and more importantly, set the prices of care however they damn well please

    single payer is like a union, but far more powerful because it’s a monopoly (and a monopoly that’s actually good because it’s for the benefit of all)






  • basically the way it works in australia… the budget is considered a test of confidence

    if the government can’t pass a budget, the PM has 2 choices: resign or call an election

    if they refuse to do either of these things, the governor general can step in and dismiss them, in which case an intermediary government is appointed and elections are called ASAP

    if you can’t perform the most basic function of governing, you sure as shit can’t do anything new and deal with issues as they arise
