    My dream is creating a nonprofit healthcare insurance where money are actually used to save people’s lives instead of inflating shareholders’ pockets. It’s good to have dreams sometimes.

      That’s called universal healthcare. America voted against that because we want to live in misery and despair.

        No, we voted against it because too many of us were too stupid to believe a bunch of crooked bastards who said universal healthcare was a scary monster that would make us all gay socialists and take away our guns and freedom like Obama’s curly light bulbs did.

        Yeah luckily I don’t live in America. Can’t believe I’ve had a ride in an helicopter for free to rush to the hospital. Since then I’m happy to pay my taxes lol.

        Btw until the law changes, a nonprofit healthcare insurance would be amazing I think (unrealistic of course)

        Thus there is a goddamned political seesaw for decades, where nothing meaningful and long term can get systematically adjusted for the better, things are always at Square Minus One. Then when the shit hits their fan…

        iT’s An OuTrAgE!

        Over and over again, the ignorant and impatient electorate through pettiness and smug inaction, angrily stab themselves in the chest with a rusty knife. With no medical coverage for that.

      That would last until inevitably some narcissist took over. Then it would turn into regular insurance. By regular I mean corrupted and evil.
