    Absolutely. It’s becoming the replacement for actual care and support, legalized, a coerced, slow-moving genocide of the mentally ill and disabled because not even “socialist healthcare canada” (as idiot Americans call it) wants to support people who can’t churn the cogs of capital.

      What is funny about the US is that if you can’t turn the cog of capitalism, healthcare is free. Being very poor is really baller for treating your horrific medical conditions. So is being old.

      I’m an able bodied worker who has to worry about medication to keep at bay my murderous condition only because I can work. If I just quit my job and was willing to live in public housing and all my bullshit, all the stress of treatment would actually go away.

      I have no idea why Americans are against expanding Medicare when poor people already get it. Why would they want to deny themselves what they’re paying for anyway by virtue of not being able to have it.
