Hold up.....do people think that "healthcare" is a viable alternative to proper diet and exercise?

Is THAT why Americans see "healthcare" as a human right?!

I mean, every alternative to the garbage food we have is too expensive :/ been eating some baked kale with salt myself tho lately, super tasty, would recommend.

And people generally don't take good care of themselves. We're more likely to give our pets medicine than ourselves. But most Americans do not exercise anywhere close to what they should as well.

Idk. They did get rid of home economics in schools so nobody really knows cooking unless they were personally interested in it or had a parent teach them.

That was my reaction. I support universal healthcare but damn... comics like this make me think maybe we don't deserve it.

Don't fall for the corporate slaver propaganda, everyone deserves healthcare.
