Well see thats you’re problem. Ditch cobra and join J.I JOOOOEEEEEE!!!
Then you can be paid under minimum wage to risk your life fighting in unjust wars, only to find your government abandons you and any help you were promised for injuries or complications to your daily lifestyle as a result of your time in the service.
See? 'MURICA!

I can’t wait to pay for groceries with my free healthcare.

When I was unemployed and playing video games, I didn’t qualify for any free healthcare and I needed some

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.

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.

We have free health care? Coulda fooled me.

What’s an enormous brain he has, it’s a meeting that fits in his itty bitty head.
So living in the UK which has free healthcare I can tell everybody that it’s super easy to do this.
Obviously I don’t have a job so I can’t afford food, so I just starve myself until I nearly die, and then the NHS turn up and put me in one of those pokeball rehabilitation things and I’m good to go.

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.

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.

It’s much worse than that, They have the entire US stock market rigged to so the same.

First they came for the gamers, and I did not speak out, because I was focusing busy hitting a sick 360° quickscope on Angel City.

Yes, that’s why they’re at home all day, and ignoring all the well paid jobs out there with free healthcare that I’m sure they’d get if they just went door to door with a résumé like these ghouls pretend they did in the 1950s.

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.

I’d be interested to know how I can pay my electricity bill with my free healthcare. Also I need to go to the supermarket today; how do I convert free healthcare into a trolleyful of food?
SpaceNoodle@lemmy.world 1 month ago
Also where the fuck is this free healthcare?
jaupsinluggies@feddit.uk 1 month ago
Civilised countries like the UK and other European countries. Technically it’s not free because it’s paid for by taxation, but it’s free at the point of use: if I go and see a doctor, I don’t get billed, but I do pay 9% National Insurance tax.

You’re happier not knowing, delete your account before since sicko comes by to gleefully explain this one.

Ah yes, because free health care pays my rent.

Is this a reference to something in particular or just picking a random shitty disease?
marlowe221@lemmy.world 1 month ago
It’s not just a shitty disease…. It’s a shitty disease that the Social Security Administration really, REALLY does not like to pay out disability for. Mostly because, unless something has changed recently, it’s hard to prove that you actually have it because it defies easily quantifiable medical testing, among other things.

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.

I must have been playing too many video games cuz I totally missed out on the free Healthcare. Can I still get some of that?

Have you tried just eating food? Every time I do that in games it heals me. :P

What free healthcare because it sounds like I’ve been fucking doing it wrong this whole time holding down job after SHITTY job since I graduated high school and don’t have shit to show for it. Fuck all the way off attacking the one thing that brings joy to my life you disingenuous piece of shit.
flop_leash_973@lemmy.world 1 month ago
What about all of those congress critters that get that big bad “socialized medicine” that the common people can’t (funny how it is fine when it is for them isn’t it.)? I bet that costs a shit ton given the average age of congress critters. How about we make some cuts there?
forrgott@lemmy.sdf.org 1 month ago
Ah, yes, because I don’t need money for rent and food, just healthcare.
What a moron.

Y’all got free healthcare?
Star@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 month ago
And? What’s the problem with that? In an ideal society with present technology we can afford to feed and house literally everyone. Let artificial scarcity rule you no longer. Let the people play games, and when 'work’is no longer, the obligation of wages they wil do it willingly, happily, and with enjoyment. Or at least wnough of us will to feed all.
So what if some get fed more than they work? I like helping people. We should have plenty to spare without the parasite class.
jj4211@lemmy.world 1 month ago
With the caveat that we can accommodate everyone so long as sufficient people put in their fair share of effort. In an ideal world that will mean very short working hours and/or nicely early retirement/late entry into the work force.
Certainly the usual talking heads are spoiled rich guys that have never known labor and have not done their fair share, but it is a difficult thing to balance to make sure we do take care of each other but make sure enough people are engaged to successfully do that
Star@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 month ago
People will use labor to make food if they only have the means. No one sane would rather starve, and even the bourgeoise can be taught the value of their labor once it saves a life, perhaps their own.
