It’s not just that. It’s also the “I don’t want my tax dollars paying for some other person’s health care” crowd.
“I don’t want to pay $30 in taxes. I’d rather be bankrupt the next time I need medical care”
His message is for those who would rather suffer than have “those” people get help.
Ironically, most of those people are on social security and Medicaid.
I have a cousin who I wouldn’t say is a 1%er, but maybe a 5%er. Very well off. You know why she’s against universal health care?
Because “they” (poor people) would be able to see “her” doctor. And “she pays for a doctor that is good enough where he doesn’t have to work for ‘those’ people”. And she shouldn’t have to wait extra time for an appointment, dammit! Do you know who she is?!?!?!?!?
Yeah, she’s one of them. Needless to say, we don’t talk much. I just wanted to say that there are plenty of people who are against universal healthcare because they think that somehow a kid going to see a doctor for the first time will somehow inconvenience them.
Some people don’t pull the ladder up behind them. They kick it down, then wave bye-bye to you while watching you fall.
She could find a doctor who only accepts private insurance if she wants. Does she not know that?

She is, in every way, the standard, stereotypical 1%er Karen. Knowing that would mean she has awareness of the world around her.
She would probably complain about having to pay more. Make it make sense.
I wish I could.
Now that is an endorsement :)
Don’t threaten us with a good time, orange man!
Harris doesn’t support single payer?
She does, she has discussed a number of methods of doing so, from expanding medicaid to all Americans, to doing a few other methods of basically using the government as payee, and negotiator, for insurance coverage that will be applied to every tax payer.
Will she really do anything? Yet to be seen.
It’s great when a quote is taken out of context, and then you look at the context, and it’s even worse.
“She cosponsored legislation to abolish very popular private health insurance, which 150 [million] Americans rely on, dumping everyone onto inferior socialist government run health care systems with rationing and deadly wait times, while massively raising your taxes. She wants to take away your private health care.”
As if 150M Americans have a real choice in private insurance, or that the bureaucracy of the system doesn’t already result in rationing and deadly wait times.
As a side note, Project 2025 does something similar with cars. Something to the effect of “Americans overwhelmingly prefer cars” to justify ignoring bikes or public transit projects, again as if there was a real choice being offered.
Says the guy who never came up with an alternative to Obama Care and said “who knew health insurance was so complicated?”
Get rid of private insurance! We pay a ton in premiums and they still get to decide what they want to cover. Private insurance is bullshit. I’ll just laterally move that premium to socialized health care so everyone has it.
Oh dear god, You mean I’d finally have coverage, like an actual first world nation, to get my hereditary issues looked at, and treated?
DEAR GOD, THE INHUMANITY OF IT ALL.
During a rambling press conference at his golf club in Bedminster, New Jersey, Trump said of Harris, “She cosponsored legislation to abolish very popular private health insurance, which 150 [million] Americans rely on, dumping everyone onto inferior socialist government run health care systems with rationing and deadly wait times, while massively raising your taxes. She wants to take away your private health care.
“It’s the best health care in the world,” he continued, adding, “You’re all going to be thrown into a communist system … You’re going to be thrown into a system where everybody gets health care.”
She’s going to give you the bad health care. The kind that the foreigners and the blah people get. You’re not going to receive the special elite luxury care. You’re going to get the same care as everyone else.
You mean like medicare/medicaid?
I know people on both, they get fantastic healthcare.
Its a lot better than the big bowl of fuckall nothing I got now.
You mean like medicare/medicaid?
The conservative theory is that Medicaid is shit and will kill your mum.
Medicare is gold, but it only works if we ration it for Boomers exclusively.
If you “steal” private health insurance to pay for Medicaid, you’re basically murdering people. If you open the doors to Medicare, you’ll use up all the good medicine and “swamp the boat” as it were, ruining it for everyone currently on the plan.

Obviously, you don’t need health care. You just need better bootstraps and a stronger pull.
