The first thing we need to do to fix healthcare in this country is to decouple health insurance from our jobs. If you lose your job you should not lose your health benefits. And no, cobra is not a substitute.
Cobra is asptly named. Bunch of fucking snakes.
$680 fuckin dollars while I’m unemployed, per month??? Get da fuck outta heah
After I was laid off it was offer to me at 750 a month while unemployment is 400 and barely covered my bills. I needed health insurance still Don’t have it and can’t see my doctor.
That’s a terrible situation, I hope you find a positive resolution sooner than later 🫤
At least it’s retroactive (unless that changed too). You can decide to pay if you have a big enough medical issue
And this is why the longshoremen have to strike when it hurts everyone.
If it’s Boeing, I’m not going
Health care is a human right.
This will help the state of the company for sure.
Universal health is socialism tho
Yes it is. However socialism =/= communism. Awful people have just done a really good job of conflating the two, and treating it as a bad thing. Democratic socialism is a thing, and there was a golden era in the 70s-90s in most other western countries where it was supported by major political parties. These days, as neoliberalism has taken over the world, political parties have tried to walk back these systems. However, they enjoy far too much popular support to be dismantled that easily. Here’s a little bit of info about the support for universal healthcare in Australia:
There is nothing socialist about universal health care, it is the only viable solution lol
Ain’t everything needs some cloen political ideology, sometimes we could just do what works 🤔
🤷♀️
It’s weird how every other civilized country seems to make it work, though.
Also, Boeing is being outcompeted by a company that pays its workers well, and that is considered a good employer, and that makes planes in countries with high taxes and universal care.
Clearly we taxpayers didn’t give Boeing enough state aid 🤡
Oh, you give Boeing a fuckton of state aid. A single example, check what Boeing gets for Satrliner vs crew dragon, which is also subsidized, btw
Ohh come on … The clown emoji is tell tale sign this was yuge sarcasm haha
But yes, American wage slaves is paying these parasites ton of money and nothing to show for it.
Feeding kids too
You disgust me
Introduce say…shall we call it CHIPS and Sciences Act 2 (milk that sequel).
More jobs in the semiconductor industry, microchips for everyone in the country to track them because everyone is evil, especially those darn foreigners.
Except you know it’s none of that and it hides healthcare for everyone instead, and no politician would ever know because like why the fuck would actually read something and those who do, well I’m sure they’d understand the purpose.
