I'm a Candian here so take my advice for what is worth. Vote Democrat as cross the board.

I have cancer. Hodgkins Lymphoma. A felt a lump in my neck on Friday. Called the doctors office on Monday and saw the doctor on Wednesday. In the next two months I had an ultrasound that was, "worrying" followed up by a chest x-ray and full body CT. That necessitated a biopsy which resulted in the positive diagnosis of Hodgkins. That triggered a PET scan, respiratory study, and echocardiogram. I saw my oncologist a week after the PET scan and started chemo two days later. I just had my second infusion this morning and I'm feeling a bit beaten up. They gave me Ondensetron for the night after chemo and Olanzapine for nausea as needed. All I pay for is parking at the hospital and I can claim that on my taxes.

Universal healthcare is really, really hard to implement. That's why only 22 of the 23 most developed countries in the world have it.

The US health care system is a grotesque lie.

If you’re got universal health care, I don’t see how that would lead to voting for Democrats?

[–] MapleEngineer@lemmy.world 10 points 3 months ago (1 children)

I'm a Candian. I'm suggesting that voting for Democrats would be far more likely to get you universal healthcare than voting for the neo-fascist Christian nationalists.

Sadly, it is not.

Democrats could have implemented a universal health care system under Obama, but chose not to. They, as much as Republicans, are profiting from the price gouging in our health care system.

They didn't do it last time so vote neo-fascist Christian national because they surely will? Give you fucking head a shake.

They didn't do it last time.

Respectfully, it's not "they didn't do it last time". It's "they never do it". It's never going to happen. Democrats have demonstrated that they are just a corrupt cog in the system, a system that ensures the wealthy keep acquiring vulgar sums of money they don't need, while life gets harder and harder for the working class and the poor.
