Only when you're so poor (earn less than 15k/yr out 21k a year in some states) not having it functionally costs more money, but only so long as you follow all the bureaucratic rules to continually prove eligibility.
And don't forget, you still have to find healthcare providers that accept Medicaid, pay copays, etc.

You gotta be fucking kidding me. What sort of disconnected boomer statement is that!?
I hate using such terms as "boomer", but how else am I going to describe this?
I'm in Denmark, and I can just about get by on one job. I have friends from America struggling to make ends meet, and they're working TWO jobs!
So the fuck is this guy talking about!?
I mean Republican assholes is a much better and more accurate adjective.
They're close to saying the quiet part out loud here. The reason (one of them) universal healthcare gets so much pushback is because an employer provided healthcare is a major way to keep the working class in their place.
I know so many people who have stayed in shitty abusive jobs because they can't lose the healthcare. Imagine if people could fuck off and decide to live a less resource intensive life? Would be terrible for the economy.
I'm pissed at the state of ~~healthcare~~ health business in this (u.s.) country, and I think you should be too!

Theres people that was scared of losing their jobs that they didnt disobey managment and leave the factory before it was washed away in the helene floods... many died. But dont worry, the family got a $100 walmart giftcard for compensation...
how do i leech off of free healthcare that sounds really good
Get elected to the US Congress. They don't do anything and get 6 figure salaries AND free Healthcare!
Become a congressperson, they get Medicare for life just like every other citizen should have but don't because Congress will grant it to themselves but not everyone else. If it's good enough for them it should be good enough to cover us.
Yeah how does that work? How do I get my Healthcare to pay my mortgage?

Meanwhile: Politicians who never had a day of honest work their entire life.
Those neoliberals are getting cocky.
This is rich coming from someone that has literally never worked a days labor in their lives.
Young men as a cohort have a 90% employment rate.
Where are they getting free healthcare from? I'd like it. Oh does Canada have this problem? No? Huh
We still have widespread disengagement in Canada too because the problem isn’t the healthcare.
The problem is wage suppression and corporate greed.
this dude and his son monitor each other's devices to make sure they don't consume porn. i don't think he should be allowed to talk about literally anyone else's habits.
this dude and his son monitor each other's main devices to make sure they ~~don't~~ have "proof" that they "don't" consume porn
anyone that obsessive is addicted and has at a minimum one burner porn tablet lmfao
Where are they getting the money for the games? Those are expensive as shit, I’m still making do with games I bought decades ago because I can’t afford new ones.
How are they eating? Food is fucking expensive, are they getting free food as well?
How are they paying rent? Have to have a roof over your head and electricity in your walls to play video games all day.
This mother fucker thinks all guys are like his son, lazy mother fuckers mooching off their parents. What a dumb, ignorant moron.
I think he might be speaking about 16 year old boys. He seems mad that they're children instead of working father's.
Imagine living in a country that has turn to shit so long ago that you can't believe that it is possible for people can be motivated to work without resorting to the constant threat of being left to die if they don't.
What free healthcare? It's Murica...
-
No job, grind away the entire waking day with a low paying zero hours contract while filing job applications, No videogames, no relaxation, more stress, costs healthcare providers more
-
No job, spend some of the day working while filing job applications, Yes Videogames, relaxation, lower stress, costs healthcare providers less
Yet another case where if the politician seriously thought about the issue for just half a minute they'd realise their attitude makes no sense.
Oh, he knows he’s completely full of shit. If you keep that in mind, his attitude makes perfect sense. Make up whatever bullshit he can to fake a justification to enrich his wealthy daddies.
Sure. Let's just pretend video games are free. And so is healthcare. Also, how much health care does he think young people use? This is a stupid argument.
Free healthcare doesn't pay rent or utilities. I would love to stay at home and play video games regardless of my healthcare status, but I simply couldn't afford to.
"I want to check that old building for treasure!" vs. "I want to check my son's porn usage".
Why is this specific to men? Are women not able to take advantage of these same programs? Are men having job placement issues where women are not?
What is the root cause of this? Since jobs and people have both existed for a looooooong time, I doubt this latest generation was just born lazy. What's the behind the scenes info here?
the behind the scenes is that they made it the fuck up. Men 25-84 have about a 90% participation rate in the workforce.
The only places where men are at low participation in the workforce is 16-19. He wants more children working.
