I also think this may depend upon the State you live in. At this moment of time, I expect Bill lives in a Red State.
But as time goes on, I can see this spreading to all States as the US continues on with Privatizing Medical Care.
With the new incoming admin., I expect this will get worse. Not that the Current administration did a great deal fix health care for the US. He did lower some drug costs for Medicare, but nothing for other people.
- zackmorris 2y agoYa this is the fallacy with leaving human rights up to the states. There are certain shared values which must be defended in order to have a free society. Which means that people who don't see a problem with these eventualities (due to their intolerance) can't be allowed to control government. The tolerant can't tolerate intolerance because the intolerant break the rules of the game and eventually collapse civil society. Unfortunately I've watched intolerance reign for most of my life, definitely the last 25 years, which is roughly everything after the Dot Bomb, 9/11, etc. Now ignorance fueled by propaganda created by billionaires under wealth inequality determines our election outcomes and I worry that it may be too late to stop the global societal collapse that's coming.
- jmclnx 2y agoYes, I agree with you on this. But we are seeing one big bomb coming our way. Climate Change. It is a race on what happens first. To me Climate Change will be like a cleansing, and since most governments of "first world" countries refused to address it over the past 50 years. Everyone will get to pay the price now :( Now/soon the US is doubling down on speeding up Climate Change, and as usual the young will suffer the most.
