• Universal Health Care

    From Matthew Munson@VERT/IUTOPIA to All on Friday, July 03, 2026 13:07:00
    I will support Universal Health Care when Medical Assisted Aid in Dying is made illegal in the
    constitution.
    Single Payer is not exactly free. Canada tells their people just kill yourself instead of providing
    health care.

    Healthcare is a human right. I don't see any reason to not support universal healthcare.

    As a Canadian who to use a non-insignificant amount of public health care...

    what???

    I agree that MAID is not for everything or everyone, but no one is pushing it as an alternative to care.

    A quick search turned up a couple of articles from extremely biases sources, so I would say that this is
    some misinformation here.

    FYI getting MAID approved is extremely difficult, and one of the requirements is that the patient must VOLUNTARILY
    request it, if there is even a hint of coaxing, the request will be rejected.

    Also, no one said Single Payer is free, it is paid for with our tax money, I know I am paying for it, it is the same
    as insurance, only useable.

    :wq!

    California is getting broke paying for non citizen health care. If a non citizen of any country they
    should get stabilized if an emergency happens, and then send them back home if they don't have
    extended clearance to stay.

    My personal perspective is its going to get rationed no matter if we pay into the system or not. But
    I don't want one perverse incentive to curtail costs. I know California progressives want this to
    happen, but if MAID gets banned in our state constitution, id be ok with universal system.

    California is also stuck paying billions in fraud, Billions for a train that goes to nowhere.
    Gas taxes are either the highest or 2nd highest in the USA.
    Who the F*C* want's to live in a state like California?
    Also the mis-managed forrest lands that burn every year.

    No, it's not. ACCESS to health care is a human right. But health care costs money, which means if it's
    someone's right, it's someone's obligation to provide. That's called slavery.

    I don't see any reason to not support
    universal healthcare.

    Then you never took any history classes.

    Health care does cost money, so does roads, schools, public infrastructure of any kind.

    It is the obligation of the whole society to help its members, this is not a new or a revolutionary concept.

    You, as a member of said society, pay for all these things through your taxes.

    The issue is how much of those taxes are allocated and managed properly.

    California might be having problems because of management, but not because of the idea of the service.

    You are saying "we should not do X, because we suck at managing it", instead of figuring out a way to
    do things properly.

    There will always be waste in any public programs, but that is expected, as my Public Accounting professor used
    to say: "If the goverment is not losing money providing public services, something is seriously wrong"

    The government is too disorganized to provide universal healthcare.

    I do not want to pay for someone else's healthcare. Get a job with insurance. Many have them.

    It's not our obligation to help our members. We aren't a biker club

    That's crazy thinking, what you're saying here just promotes lazyness and relience on others to take care of people that don't want to work.
    I have two brothers that think like that and they have been living off of other people for years.
    It's not everone's obligation to take care of everyone else.
    My obligation is to take care of myself, and my imediate family.
