My favorite arguments against universal healthcare are ones where it goes “but imagine if we had that system and didn’t fund it and also it didn’t have to be universal?” yeah that wouldn’t be a great system I guess

started playing cyberpunk 2077 and it's still got some bugs after like five years, but i kinda get it because the open world is so bewilderingly expansive and sophisticated with tons of crazy ideas crammed in there. ea sports has spent decades screwing up a flat rectangle with 22 guys and a ball

Also like, there's nothing about single payer that requires that. That kind of arbitrary denial prerequisite is something that's grown out of private insurance as a cost-cutting measure trying to discourage people from seeking care.
