26·12 days agoNHS costs 4600$ per recipient.
Current US public spending on healthcare (Medicaid, medicare, ACA subsidies, Veteran healthcare…) is 5600$ per capita (not recipient)…
We could lower taxes and give everyone free healthcare.
Fuck it, that extra 1000$ can go straight to the president pocket if he gives us Medicare for all.
sending to my kids, asked them to explain, wonder what they think is going on
straight up gaslighting the victims because they commented on how bad the police handled the situation.

I’m tired of repeating myself, but Stockholm syndrome is pure Copaganda bullshit.
ACAB
I’m know the whole “you’re not immune to propaganda”.
but damn, their marketing was pure gaslighting and everyone fell for it
mom was helping you.
never in my life I have understood why Starbucks exists. overpriced meh coffee.
yet people treat it as a religious ritual.
Wish I could boycott them for their union busting or zionism, but I can’t.
thought it was a rocket cup
meanwhile there are LLM call centers with no authentication
I called one, and the only authentication they asked was my birthday. instead of asking me my name or other details it just said “please confirm, are you [full name]?”
that’s all the security to access my private data!
then after going nowhere I managed to be transferred to a human and it took them a few minutes to authetify me.







NHS costs about 4600$ per recipient
Spanish healthcare system 5346$ per recipient
Canada’s is about 5000$
The US PUBLIC healthcare spending (Medicare, medicaid, VA, ACA subsidies) is about 5600$ PER CITIZEN (not recipient).
IE:
Americans already pay enough in taxes for 100% free comprehensive healthcare for everyone, but get fuck all. The average household pays between 15000$ to 20000$ for healthcare.
The American system is not inefficient, it is an extortion scam that steals trillions from working Americans and kills about 40,000 Americans per yeat.
Wanting the US healthcare system is like wanting a 9/11 every month.
We could give every American 100% free healthcare, without rising taxes. Imagine what would happen to the economy when every household has an extra 15k$ of disposable income?
