A place to discuss positive changes that can make work more equitable, and to vent about current practices. We are NOT against work; we just want the fruits of our labor to be recognized better.

That's no reason to not have universal healthcare.

Sure, some people think as you describe, but they are the minority. We're supposed to be a representative democracy.

  • 90% of Democrats want universal healthcare. (30% of voters)
  • 70% of Independents want universal healthcare. (40% of voters)
  • Even 40% of Republicans want universal healthcare. (30% of voters)

(many polls, pick your favorite)

bOtH pArTiEs think otherwise, unfortunately

Oh no I totally agree with you. Not saying it justifies it or even that the math makes sense, but it feels that a lot of times when you have people who dissent against universal healthcare the reason I stated is why.
