What about giving a sort of sex-voucher to those who need it and they can spend them on legalized sex workers? Socialized healthcare doesn't mean someone comes

What about giving a sort of sex-voucher to those who need it and they can spend them on legalized sex workers?
Socialized healthcare doesn't mean someone comes and takes my marrow, my blood or one of my kidneys when they need them, it just means that my taxes fund healthcare. So why can't it work the same way for sex, if needed?
- tathougies 8y agoBecause sex is literally not the same thing as getting life saving drugs
- toomuchtodo 8y agoCommercial sex is pretty close to a chiropractor or therapeutic massage, both of which my employer provided healthcare covers (from a quick glance at the benefits page). Universal/single payer healthcare isn’t all cancer treatments and life saving drugs.
- tathougies 8y agoIn your response, you first wrote about a benefit provided by your employer and then equated it to universal / single payer systems. Do you understand the difference between the two?
- toomuchtodo 8y agoI don’t make a distinction between the two, as the benefits provided by either system should be at parity with each other. We’re just haggling over the overhead involved (wrt employer provided vs single payer).
- tathougies 8y ago> the benefits provided by either system should be at parity with each other You say they 'should be' but do not justify it. In order to claim something 'ought' to be some way, you need to justify it. Not that it really affects your non-existent argument, but the government of the United States does not agree with you. For example, closely held corporations are not required to pay for drugs they morally disagree with, whereas the government can't make these distinctions, as long as the drug is legal.

- WalterSear 8y agoThey do something similar in Japan: special needs individuals can receive two sexual experiences in their lifetime, provided by a government agency.
