I’m assuming he thinks prisons have free healthcare.

It’s not hard to look at all other western countries and see that it works better in almost every area and overall costs less And there is nothing stopping people from having private insurance on top of it I don’t know why Americans are so easily brainwashed

Some people in the USA celebrate relative success instead of absolute one. “Is your life really better when others suffer?”

Sorry, I expect consequences for every motherfucker spending the last 2 years blatantly flaunting the law before healthcare.

Meanwhile, everyone is required to have car insurance. Priorities.

It really is the “everyone” that annoys people. I’ve asked conservatives to explain to me how insurance works as a business model. They pretty quickly realize two things: Monthly premiums of everyone cover the needs of anyone in need today. (Some seem to think it is like a bank account, but pretty quickly realize why that doesn’t make sense. Framing it around car insurance instead of healthcare tends to help if they are struggling here.) As a for profit business, they need to collect more in monthly premiums from each customer than they will provide that customer with benefits. Otherwise, the business is not profitable. Once they understand these two facts, then they are ready to understand why government sponsored healthcare is optimal. It maximizes the number of people paying into the monthly premiums, while minimizing the profit margin because the government doesn’t need to be run at a profit. Many disagree with that last point, but will usually be satisfied by phrasing it as “bringing in a minimal profit. Otherwise, we wouldn’t want to be overtaxed, right?”

I’m be real, and ain’t nobody wanna hear this but… Even with full health insurance, most hospitals and doctors in my 50 mile radius area either do not accept patients or are booked out to 5 months. I really think we have a educational problem that’s leading to not enough qualified doctors. I also see a lot of “Nurse Practitioners” and actual MDs that are running rounds at multiple area hospitals. Not only does DJT know that Democrats won’t pass Universal Healthcare (setting them up for failure), but doing so would lead to cutting corners on actually educating qualified doctors, possibly leading to more harm than good. IMO the bigger issue is education, planning, and prioritizing. We (as a Nation) can’t go all in on Universal Healthcare without planning and prioritizing education and ensuring that our system can handle the flood of new patients.

Sometimes, I wonder if Trump is actually a leftist who try his best to destroy the US by being as right-wing as he can.

Why are Democrats never as cool as Republicans say they are? Like they controlled the entire government under Obama and the best we got was making it illegal to not have health insurance.

Here’s the part I don’t understand. In 2025, approximately 22 million Americans received subsidies through the Affordable Care Act Marketplace to help pay for their health insurance. That’s millions of working Americans who depend on these subsidies to afford coverage. So who exactly is this statement supposed to appeal to? A significant number of Trump’s own constituents rely on healthcare.gov to purchase their health insurance. Without those subsidies, many of them are going to face the same financial reality I would. Without my subsidy, my health insurance would cost approximately $1,800 a month. That’s $21,600 a year just to have health insurance, before paying a single dollar in deductibles or copays. That’s absolute insanity.
