A place to discuss positive changes that can make work more equitable, and to vent about current practices. We are NOT against work; we just want the fruits of our labor to be recognized better.

We shall have to agree to disagree then. Calling a healthcare system that doesn't cover all available healthcare universal just doesn't make sense.

I can accept that's what people call it, but that's about it.

I think they're wrong.

By this logic the USA has universal healthcare, because a hospital must treat you for emergency, life-saving care, even if you're unable to pay.

So, the definition is absurd if it's just that a system covers everyone.

The definitions I've seen mention the ability for anyone to receive medical care without fear of financial hardship. Which I guess also isn't a perfect definition.
