I hope so, but it's hard to see a path there unless things really change.

Absolutely not. I've completely given up on the idea of being able to afford to treat numerous health issues of mine unless I win the lottery.

No but if it did it would open up early retirement for a ton of people. I know tons of people that would walk away earlier as long as healthcare was covered. I know a fair amount at my job that arent there for the money at this point, just the healthcare. I know Id retire earlier if we had it.

We managed a black president twice, so I feel like it's hard to say what's possible to happen in my lifetime.

No, I'm pretty sure we'll hit full blown fascist dictator without the democracy before we'll get universal healthcare

i believe the US will cease to be before it gets universal healthcare. this country is a billionaire wet dream and you cant keep that around while also treating its citizens with common human decency.

^this. I've had to balance a now herculean effort on restarting the business and not let my health decline further. The physical part I cant even do any more. I'm way younger than when my friend started.

This would have gone better for me if I hadnt been forced down this path by other peoples greed.

Highly doubtful. That should be a goal that we keep striving for but with the understanding that it's probably going to take a long time to get there if we get there at all.

We all do. Countries that have universal healthcare actually pay less for it than we pay for our system.

well sure. that's because 80% of the money put into the healthcare system today goes towards padding the income of private insurance companies. ultimately a universal healthcare system that got rid of them would be 1000% cheaper to maintain, but that will never happen because the insurance companies making bank right now are also bribing the politicians to keep that income rolling in.

I think it's likely, just because the current system is deteriorating and I'm not confident that it's going to be able to limp along for the duration of my lifetime. The tricky part is surviving through the impending collapse.

Yes. But its either going to be a long and slow process of gradual change that finally happens when Im 85.

or immediately after a complete shitshow that makes the great depression look like just a minor inconvenience. then we get it as part of a second New Deal, and companies will slowly try to strip away at it over the next century.

Lmao, no way.

We don't get universal healthcare until our entire system is overhauled to no longer be run by billionaires and millionaires. We're talking like ground up changes to all 3 branches. That ain't never happening

Zero shot, healthcare companies have way too much sway in politics to ever make it even halfway viable.
