United Healthcare: "but is it really necessary to stay alive?"
"I DUNNO MOTHERFUCKER, IS IT?!"

"if you wanted to stay alive, you should have gotten a better paying job"
Dear God do I hate how true that is. Not sure if intentional or not, but either way I’m with you. And I think they’re working to a plan.
I had a call center job while finishing college, but I’m currently a professional software developer. The difference in coverage is crazy. Dental crowns went from 25% to 75% coverage. My annual maximum out of pocket for healthcare is so low I keep hitting it by accident and wondering why things are suddenly free.
Why? I think it’s a deliberate plan to make life pretty good for like 51% of us, so we won’t vote against the way they absolutely wreck the other 49% of us.
I hope it stops working soon.
Same. I think they want enough of us to throw the rest under the bus as a "got mine" and keep dividing and conquering. It is so exhausting having to tell the rest of my high earning peers that the enemy is NOT people just trying to survive...
I think it has a lot to do with humans just being incapable of understanding large numbers. Like yes you're a bigshot surgeon and you get paid mad money. You're rich, anyone would say so right?
But what if I told you that you have more in common with a fry cook at McDonald's than you do a CEO?
United Healthcare: .... we make money first ... we just do health care on the side
That's just the thing isn't it though? They don't do healthcare. At all. They don't DO ANYTHING but make money as a middleman. We must destroy the health insurance industry with universal healthcare, if we ever get another chance.
Average American: but that's socialist/communist!
It had to be forced on the people of the UK. The idea was quite unpopular. Once they tried it, it became the most popular part of the government. I think it has a lot more support here.
