The Zucht v. King Supreme Court case ruled that it is not unconstitutional to exclude unvaccinated students from public or private schools. This was in 1922.

Then we have the audacity to suggest a $5k "baby bonus," as though that even begins to cover the costs associated with insurance, medical care, fertility treatments, childcare... the list goes on.

And $1,000 out of your paycheck ALSO isn't affordable! Linking employment = economic stability clearly isn't true for so many of us and these gaps are made especially apparent when someone is experiencing a gap in their employment, are self-employed, cannot work, etc. We need so much better.

We need to talk about how expensive and precarious it is to be unemployed, even if it is temporary. We need better systems that recognize these gaps and support people through them.

As a chronically ill person who relies on infusions to stay healthy, I cannot opt out of insurance.

That's not the point. Nobody should be spending $1,000 a month for healthcare. Nobody should have to consider opting out. We need universal healthcare.
