I know no one on Lemmy likes Jubilee and I don’t either, but I still watch it every now and again.
Last month there was a Gen Z politician vs Boomers and one of the old guys was talking about how student loan forgiveness shouldn’t be done. The politician says you won’t feel it. The Boomer said, they would because of the numbers of the ledger, politician says you’ll feel it due to the all the people being able to contribute to the economy properly and giving it a huge boost. Boomer says him or his wife had their loans forgiven and it was a huge help, but that not everyone should get it.
Jubilee is a conservative channel, that pretends to be on “both sides” they showed thier true colors when they host conservatives, magats , and even charlie kirk, to debate “woke” people, usually its 20 people vs the left all the time.
The entire health insurance industry is built around taking a cut. Literally every single person who works for United Healthcare, BCBS, Aetna, and Humana is being paid by money the health insurance company took from you and is not using to provide healthcare. Not only that, but hospitals dedicate entire departments to battling health insurance companies for authorization for treatment. All that money could be redirected toward actually providing healthcare.
Healthcare should NEVER be private, it should always be public, with a progressive price (people below a given income and/or heritage threshold should not pay, people above that threshold should pay but in a percentage equivalent to their income and heritage, so the richest pay, proportionally, more than the poorest, instead of it being regressive and the poorest paying proportionally less than the richest), universal, democratic and decentralized.
And I mean, that goes for any socialized benefit, and it should be like that with taxes too, and even with individual goods and services. It simply doesn’t make sense that the ones that have the less, have to pay the more.
Hell, we all pay for other people’s healthcare now! When people go to the emergency room and can’t afford to pay, the hospitals crank up the cost of everyone else’s healthcare to make up for it. We have literally the least cost effective system possible.
Common misconception. You’re paying for other people’s healthcare, yes; plus the salaries of insurance agents, plus the commissions for insurance brokers, plus the bonuses for healthcare execs, plus the yacht money for healthcare investors, plus the bribe funds used by lobbyists, plus the apocalypse island money for the handful of people who own it all.
I’m probably forgetting a few. Like probably more being spend on private security now too for some reason.
“Why should I pay for someone else’s healthcare?”
Because one day, someone will pay your healthcare you absolutely rotten piece of shit.

Are there any channels you would consider non conservative that allow debates between racist talkshow hosts and non racist talkshow hosts?
Like their children that for some reason won’t visit or call during the holidays.
One day?! The entire point of health insurance is that millions of other people are paying to help you pay for your healthcare
And then a random dude in the middle takes a cut while providing no actual service.
