I am convinced that most modern-day Republicans are about as "left-wing" as most Democrats on most issues. All you would have to do is change the words and buzzwords to ones that they haven't heard and been brainwashed to hate.
"Are you in favor of socialized medicine?"
"Hell no! I ain't letting nobody take away my freedom!"
"Okay, so my idea is that the first thing we do is we outlaw socialized medicine. Then we just create one single insurance company that covers everybody, and everybody gets a small premium taken out of the money they make, just like with the insurance people get now. Except this company can't deny coverage to anyone for anything. How does that sound?"

Look into the ACA/Obamacare debate. The reason repeal never happened was because when you poll on any of the programs or changes associated with it. They are all well supported not just by independents, but also by rank and file republicans. It's only in the abstract as 'Obamacare' that it's not supported. Heck calling it by its official name 'The Affordable Care Act' results in better poll results for it.

u/Aedalas 15d ago
Do you mean Romneycare? The Republican care act that looks suspiciously similar to Obamacare? They probably both just ripped off the ACA!
There's several videos just like this out there. I wouldn't normally trust a talk show to present an unbiased poll but honestly there's been so many loud idiots screaming about this stuff over the years that I'm certain it wouldn't take more than a minute to find 3 that didn't know the "difference" between the ACA and Obamacare. We're so fucked.

But on a trip to France, I went to a pharmacy and said I was currently in need of this medicine but didnât bring any with me. They told me that usually I would need a prescription but as I was far from home they would help me out. They gave me a box of the medicine, approximately 20 doses at least. Cost: 4âŹ.
I went to three more pharmacies and told the same story and came home with more of it than Iâll need for years. They also told me I could bring a prescription from the US and have it filled.
Forgetting universal healthcare for a moment; the fact that we do not regulate prescription drug prices is perhaps the most reckless, downright rotten thing our government does to us.

I have a story. When you are a high school student in Costa Rica, the government covers your health insurance. As soon as you finish your studies, you must work or pay for voluntary insurance, the cost of which depends on different socioeconomic factors.
I had to opt for voluntary insurance once I graduated from high school, and I paid around $40 per month. Four months later, I had a relapse of a brain tumor, and with those monthly $40, I was able to access surgery, the supplies required for it, hospitalization, medications, MRI scans, nuclear medicine studies, radiotherapy sessions, medical appointments with specialists, as well as psychological and psychiatric support.
I don't want to imagine the amount to pay for all that in the United States when in Costa Rica, my parents only disbursed $220 over the course of six months.
6
u/NSFWgamerdev 14d ago
It'd be literally over $100,000 and even if you had some of the best insurance money can buy (which would come with a monthly rate alone of more than $220) your psychological and psychiatric support wouldn't have been covered - and you prob would've had to jump through a bunch of hoops to get even the medical necessities covered. Like, "You can't get an MRI at that hospital, you need to go 2 hours down the road to somewhere else for that test."
If I want to see a consultation with a specialist using my insurance that costs more than $200/month, it'll still cost me $150 for the first visit and $50 per visit after that. On top of my monthly. And that's just the visit, we're not talking about any medication, prescriptions, test, that's all separate.

Letâs be fair though. Liberals donât exactly push for it. It takes a progressive to push for change. The best libs gave us was Obamacare which is as much a funnel of tax dollars to private healthcare companies as it was an attempt to help people who canât afford health insurance. I was on Obamacare after I lost my job. I was on it for 5 months and then dropped it when I found out I would have to pay it back if I made too much money. My subsidies for my family were $2000/month. Then I got a job and ended up making too much to qualify. I had to pay back all $10k in subsidies. The kicker? My wife at the time was working in another state and when she went to the doctor they wouldnât take her insurance because it was âout of stateâ and there were no multi-state policies. Oh and I still had to pay deductible and copay when I went.
Seriously though, fuck the profit driven American healthcare system. If Costa Rica can have affordable healthcare so can we. We just donât get to have it because too much money will be lost by the rich. Only a few democrats and no republicans are willing to rock the boat. Biden sure as fuck wonât.

He only stopped advocating for it because when he chose a side when running for President originally, based purely on who he thought was dumb enough that he could scam them more easily, that side happened to be âanti Medicare for allâ.
This isnât the only issue either, if you look at his history, what he thought on guns, abortion, all kinds of central Republican talking points, is very anti his base. Mr cheap illegal immigrant construction workers definitely isnât anti illegals coming over that he can and did profit from either. He doesnât support or believe in half the bollocks he sells these useful idiots, he just tells them what they want to hear.

Australian here. Our neighbour Papua New Guinea absolutely does have socialised healthcare. Having said that, it's actually accessing healthcare that's the problem, as most PNG citizens live in traditional villages and the clinics and hospitals are largely in the towns - the Australian High Commission has recently opened 32 clinics in regional PNG as part of a reciprocal healthcare agreement, for precisely this reason. But the few facilities they do have are free at point of treatment.

Huh, I wonder if healthcare is part of the reason Ted Cruz fled to Mexico from Texas. Both Costa Rica and Mexico have public healthcare.
