Don't threaten me with a good time

I know, right?!

Unfortunately, Trump is lying as usual:

Harris, who has had shifting stances on health care in the past, confirmed in late July through her campaign that she no longer supports a single-payer health care system.

This was one of my big complaints with Biden and now Harris. I'll still vote for them, but I have to stay at a shitty job that I fucking hate so that I can afford my mental health subscription.

[–] Juvyn00b@lemmy.world 2 points 3 months ago (1 children)

They charge a subscription fee for mental health?

[–] PriorityMotif@lemmy.world 5 points 3 months ago

$25 copay per month for a 5 minute visit so I can get a refill on my $10 prescription. Without insurance the visit is around $200. I've considered trying to get prescriptions through one of those online pharmacies to avoid having to go to the doctor every month.

Sooooo.......universal health care?

[–] Viking_Hippie@lemmy.world 18 points 3 months ago (2 children)

Nope, she's back on the ACA train 😮‍💨

[–] Tyfud@lemmy.world 9 points 3 months ago

The ACA was intend to support single player health care.

She's taking the Obama position which, it's the politically savvy one, if they can get all the measures of the ACA through.

The ACA is what Canada did before transitioning to single payer. That had anyways been the goal of the ACA.

The issue is a lot of Americans are resistant to single payer. They think having only 1 choice is like communism or something.

Which is why the ACA had always been the first step. Obama had said as much, publicly.

It's telling that there's a chance for big healthcare to come over to her side. It's the worst kind of good news, since they need to die, and must be aware that any kind of functioning democracy will eventually kill their business model.

But apparently their other current option doesn't stay bought...?
