It's about time for my once per decade ban for being a consistently terrible poster.

Question for those in this thread: how in the world do you respond to morons who tell you that universal health care is "slavery" because it's "forcing people to give charity"? I've run into this on another forum and its baffling, though I know it's a dumb way to reframe the issue.

I think it's against the rules to promote felonies, so I'mma just say that there's no convincing people with no to low empathy to have it. Best you can do is the utilitarian "Every single major look at what it would cost to implement says it saves the country money overall, and I like saving money". You pay now, or you pay later. You always pay for sick people. There is no FYGM there, no matter how badly someone's tiny narcissistic heart hopes it would be so. You always pay. You can have a good universal health care system and pay up front, or you can have a terrible one and society collapses in the face of a global pandemic and pay later. You always pay.
