As a father of two young men… Good!
Healthcare is a right. Especially in the richest nation in the history of humanity.
Young men are 'playing videogames all day' instead of getting jobs because they can mooch off of free healthcare, claims congressman

Yeah! We gotta give people the choice to work or die due to lack of medical care! That’s never been done before! What’s that called?

LOL, Says the guy mooching off all of us for free healthcare and a paycheck.
aceshigh@lemmy.world 9 months ago
It’s mooching off healthcare in the us, it’s a basic need for other countries.

There was a billionaire, CEO to multiple companies, arguing that he’s one of the best in one of the most grindiest games…

When I was unemployed and playing video games, I didn’t qualify for any free healthcare and I needed some
I don’t know what he’s talking about

Right-wing 101: “we need to destroy social safety net X because the immigrants/criminals/lazy/fraudsters are smooching it from hard-working, honest citizens!”
Translation: we need to take services away from the working class so gazillionaires can have an extra tax break and buy a bigger yacht to put their current yacht on.

I mean I do know a lot of people with no real jobs that game all day and they have some sorta shitty health care that doesn’t really get them proper treatment if that counts
alekwithak@lemmy.world 9 months ago
I’d love to play some video games, anyone know where I can find some of this free healthcare?

State Medicaid. Just make sure you keep your wage under the limits.
Buske@lemmy.world 9 months ago
It’s much worse than that, They have the entire US stock market rigged to so the same.

Looking forward to the federal thc hemp ban. Then I can grow weed and quit my real job. Wish they’d make alcohol illegal too. Moonshine is even easier to mass produce than weed.

Magats shit on women… Still get women votes… Shit in soliders still get soldiers votes… Shit on Mexicans… Still get Mexican votes… Shit on men…still get men votes…
I don’t know who this says more about… The voting group or Democrats that can’t win despite this shit.

Ah yes, young men. That notoriously healthcare obsesses group of individuals that do all they can to drain the system of all its funding. That’s the problem.
It’s a shame people actually fall for blatant lies like this.

forrgott@lemmy.sdf.org 9 months ago
Ah, yes, because I don’t need money for rent and food, just healthcare.
What a moron.
RubberElectrons@lemmy.world 9 months ago
They’ll just keep turning the screws tighter if you let them.
Don’t listen to their lies.
Pulsar@lemmy.world 9 months ago
Healthcare is just a way to coerce the working class to produce value for the wealthy. That is the real reason why there is no universal healthcare in America.

But where's the free healthcare?
nostalgicgamerz@lemmy.world 9 months ago
He’s probably (attempting) to reference welfare … essentially trying to justify work requirements for it

Rich people always think they pay for everyone. Wrong.
We are in the same society. A society with no hope is not a stable society.

Anybody who has ever been unfortunate enough to have to apply for any of these healthcare or food stipend programs would know that it’s not as easy as the government makes it seem. In fact, the amount of bureaucracy, means testing, and highly restrictive income limitations means that most people don’t qualify period and people who do qualify have to spend an inordinate amount of time waiting to hear back from the government to know if they have been accepted or not, all the while hoping and praying they don’t get sick and can manage their money long enough to continue feeding themselves.
Case in point, my fiance is out of work right now and actively seeking work. She applied for both MediCAL and SNAP and was denied for MediCAL because she had earned too much already that year to qualify and the SNAP benefits totaled out to $20/month in food stamps, based on historical income, which is insufficient even for the most frugal of individuals to make work. This is for someone currently earning $0/month and being almost entirely supported by me.
After a certain point, it becomes a massive drain on your time and resources that could be spent looking for a job, so you stop bothering with the system altogether because who wants to spend hours doing paperwork and submitting claims just to get enough spare change to buy a bulk bag of rice to feed yourself a struggle meal?
I don’t want to hear shit about “handouts” from anybody. My fiance paid her taxes faithfully for years without ever having to rely on the program, so where are her benefits? She has undoubtedly paid more into the system than she will ever extract.

Where does a young man get this free health care? I’m not young anymore, but for free health care I can pretend to be…
