Glide path straight into your graves, suckers

Watching the debate unfold and seeing who is being asked what questions, I can’t help but wonder, who is coming up with these bullshit questions? I don’t want to get into a diatribe against big news corporations, but really, does no one care that Americans die every year because they are under or uninsured?

It can be somewhat counter-intuitive, people aren’t denied life saving health care even if they aren’t insured or under-insured (they’re just bankrupted by it). So how did this Harvard study find that 45,000 Americans die every year due to lack of insurance? Well I’m not going to copy and paste the study’s methods (please read through it yourself) but just put yourself in someone’s shoes who doesn’t have great health insurance.

Whoopsie, now you’re dead

I want to see someone ask these billionaire shills the real question. “In your opinion, how many American deaths are worth protecting healthcare industry profits?” Let’s see how the Billionaire’s Buttigieg and Biden(B3) responds to that question with a nice direct answer which he claims to value so highly.

Now inevitably someone is going to look at that study and say that it’s from 2009 and before Obamacare. It’s a garbage argument and I’ll tell you why, the number of uninsured people is rising for the first time since the study was published. Even without any increase, it’s still half of what it was so I would love to see B3 stand on a debate stage and say “healthcare industry profits are worth 22,500 American lives a year”.

I love how Buttigieg claims he wants to protect American choice and he “trusts them to do the right thing”. In this case “the right thing” is keep dying so the healthcare industry can continue to profit. With private healthcare you have fewer options on which doctor to go to, which hospital to visit, what procedures or medications are covered. It’s a completely hypocritical and disgusting frame to say that giving people access to any doctor and all medications as “removing choice”. Fuck off you billionaire bootlicker.

If B3 and their base got behind medicare for all we would find a way to make it happen, but instead they’re selling out the American people to protect healthcare industry profits. It makes me sick and they need to answer for it.
