Nobody even said “universal” anymore. Its all just “affordable”, as though the problem with health care is entirely bound up in the retail price.
Hospitals closing up shop because the cost of insurance and rent has skyrocketed.
The number of doctors heavily lagging growth in general population.
Access to all sorts of specialty medicine gated by region, because there just aren’t enough rich people with cancer to justify modern therapy in a poor city.
We’re still arguing over Medicaid expansion in states where they’re hemorrhaging all their medical staff due to shit pay. If that’s my two sides? Yeah. They’re equally useless.
I mean this is a social democrat vs a libertarian, so yeah, they are the same.
I don’t know why but when I think of leftism I always picture them on the right sight of the political compass picture for some reason so when I saw this meme I was like: ‘wait why do right wingers want universal healthcare’ and I uhhhhhhhhhhhhh
Anyway, this is what I always think when people call our party extremist. Extremist to whom exactly?
