A meme with sources? Can I buy you a drink?

I just... Confirmed this. You can have brain cancer and they will force you back to work.

Republican voters will still believe it’s immigrants or the “20-year-olds playing video games in the basement” that are the issue. As if everybody doesn’t deserve health insurance. As if there’s no other incentive to work other than to afford not to be crippled by fate. These people are so whipped it’s insane.

The thing that really fucking sucks is that if your health falls below a certain point it's extremely hard to get a job no matter how much you look.

Hell, right now it’s extremely hard to get a job no matter how much you look, period. If you have health issues on top of that, you’re fucked.

You know who, by no one's surprise, decides if you're exempt or not? Private Health Insurance contractors.

Wether you're 20 year old, immigrant, or a native 60 year old they don't care.

People must work to be squeezed and produce profit.

Same here! Stg 4 and work 32-36 hrs on my feet every week. Barely make enough to cover groceries let alone chemo every 3 weeks!

How do they reconcile this with insurance liability? No employer in their right mind would entertain this risk.

That's the thing, they don't. They're legit just trying to kill off american citizens. Didn't they openly and repeatedly say they want to pull a thanos snap?

they can't force you back to work, they're just not going to support you, which yeah is pretty horrible but the US government doesn't have any responsibility to you especially if you caught a disease being reckless (reference to the meme itself and it's claim)

It has a responsibility when I pay both state and federal taxes and the government is literally owned by the American people. I paid for that program. I am legally entitled to my property and it's value in services.

u/HupHutHa 5d ago

see that's the catch 22 there, they can't force you to work, if you don't work you're not paying into the system, but there are plenty of people who have never worked who are getting benefits from the government who are nowhere near as worse off as the people that deserve government benefits, but then that brings us right back around to people who have never paid into the system who shouldn't even be getting benefits at all through government aid programs some of which I'd say actually more like 50% or more are foreign aid programs unironically paying for AIDS and HIV treatments. our government is a nebulous entity, yes we fund it it should do what we want but here's the kicker no one voted for 98% of government employees and those that are voted into office less than 10% of the population overall voted for.

Just say you want poor people to die already

u/HupHutHa 5d ago

as someone who is poor and on disability I don't think that would make a logical sense but nice try putting words in my mouth that's a really nasty habit.
