@stux@mstdn.social YES! My province is exploring adopting a US based model, like WTF. https://thetyee.ca/News/2026/11/09/Alberta-US-Health-Care-Billing-System/

@stux@mstdn.social Pharma lobby doesn't want to hear anything about that! Their mission is not to cure people, they just keep them healthy enough to create more profit. Otherwise Africa would have been vaccinated during COVID and AIDS wouldn't be an issue anymore.

@stux@mstdn.social When talking with anyone who disagrees that healthcare is a human right, you only have to pull on the thread a little bit to arrive at the logical corollary to that position: "If you can't afford healthcare, you deserve to die." 🤮

@stux@mstdn.social If that's the worst thing they think I'll consider it. Otherwise I feel they can just go fuck themselves and I'll do the same.

@stux@mstdn.social I agree. But: Healthcare can only become a human right if we make it one. So "fucking everyone" might not be the approach which leads to the solution. (Sadly.)

@stux@mstdn.social I would argue that when we’re breaking our rights down to having healthcare, or marrying who you want, etc., we’ve already lost the real right, which is to have *fairly* distributed support from one’s community and society. That’s what we are entitled to, IMO. Unfortunately, in the present US system (and beyond, but I can only speak as a GenX USian in 2026), the right to profit from the labor of others has *replaced* the right to support from society, such that all other rights have to be filtered through “but how are we going to PAY for it!” because we are expected to assume that someone (who is already wealthy) has to profit for these things to be possible. 🙄🤬😞

@stux@mstdn.social It doesn't have to be "everything free" or US model. Models where people pay a reasonable price so they feel a participation or whatever are very much possible. Other options exist too. I doesn't have to be all or nothing.

@stux@mstdn.social what do you mean by this? "free" healthcare? Or ability to receive healthcare in general? I am not against or anything, just asking because it may be not quite obvious as on the first glance. How can it be an opposite thing? Is someone preventing someone from receiving it or forbidding by some laws or what is this situation about at all? Maybe I'm not in a context and this is about some country govt policy I dunno.
