I'm a mentally ill cripple with multiple chronic illnesses and severe social anxiety. I've been in spots in my life before where government assistance of multiple kinds has been the difference between life and death. Don't give me the 'You're being dramatic' bullshit unless you've vomited blood to the point of near exsanguination, had to ration life-saving medication, had breakdowns on the side of a freeway, shattered a thigh, went quite literally without food for days for lack of means, etc etc etc etc. In all of those cases, government programs have, at least once and often multiple times, been the difference between life and death for me.

Go fuck yourself.

Isn't it amazing how detached people can be from the real-world effects of their thoughts and beliefs, so long as they don't get to personally experience their impact?

I've personally experienced a universal healthcare system and its effects. It killed a family member and almost killed me.

Sorry for that guy's experiences, but the sort of things he went through are systems and programmes you'd get in most governments throughout the whole political landscape.

So they shouldn't want better life conditions for themselves? You don't want any improvment for even yourself? Please tell me you are a troll or a bot.
