To those who say that not having healthcare or free higher education somehow equates to “freedom,” I’ll tell you what freedom is: freedom from the unbelievable stress & strain of going to a job you hate every single day just so you can pay for healthcare & your college loan debt.

The cost of post-secondary education is enormous and getting bigger. However, after living in Sweden for 6 months, I understand that when university education is free it is also often taken for granted. As usual the answer lies somewhere in the middle.

And apparently the best way to get it is by killing a bunch of mid-east civilians? That's what happens under Biden. I hope each death haunts all that voted for Biden.

Families who are ‘doing well’ appear to be the answer to an argument about #Capitalism EVERYONE could be doing well and probably a lot better were it not for atrocious healthcare conditions and and #Capitalism Truth Point: it only works for the wealthy

I will tell you Marianne what is not freedom. When you have to struggle every single day from oppression then have to PAY a corporation who made $60.1 BILLION and a 24% growth from fed subsidies to "cover" Medicaid patients. Then dare miss it like my son did. #NoMiddleGround!

Yes! And all being forced to pay for a health care system the government chooses with high taxes is freedom too!

I would have better healthcare if I was unemployed. Our system is backwards in it's incentives. We need healthcare for all, then employers could add to that.

A car, a home, the internet, food, healthcare...but still be miserable doing what society says you must do to be a good, productive citizen... Worship money and those who have it, regardless of how they got it, but accept feeling beneath them and being shamed for not having it.
