Or, what if their healthcare continued to be free so they wouldn’t have an incentive to find a way to live on $700 month?

I know one of those young men playing video games, and he REALLY wants a job, but no matter how he works the math, the medication that keeps him alive costs more than what he’d make. So, his only choice is to budget around permanent poverty or die.

Same reason I’ve been unemployed for a long while, my disability and medicare covers so much of my costs that working would likely result in less money in my pocket.

HeyJoe,

What are you going to do after all this is over, and it’s either even harder to get or just completely gone? Im sorry you have to go through any of this…

No idea, I have a good support structure, so I’m probably not completely fucked if/when it comes down to it. Also my doctor has implied he has some way of helping, should the shit hit the fan, not sure what that could possibly entail though.

ms_lane,

They’d have to have free healthcare in the first place…

Does getting health care mean leaving your basement?

If so, young men aren’t doing it.

Hell, I leave my basement frequently and don’t want to get health care because I’m sure it will bankrupt me.

If someone callled me an ambulance I’d fight them because I don’t have ambulance money.

Newsmedia that repeat blatantly pro-fash talking points as headline grist, are complicit

Sonicdemon86,

Yeah just get disabled, unable to work, and get ssi, then all the free health care. Just have to live with being disabled and not really able to do much, and being poor and hoping that the government doesn’t turn off your ssi cuase it will save them money.

Mirshe,

Also, unless you’ve got a way to pay rent or a house you own, good luck getting on housing assistance. Most cities have a waiting list months or years long - I know last time I had to look into it for myself, it was something like 15 months of waiting for a potential open slot anywhere in the city.

Sonicdemon86,

Took two years, much faster than when I waited five years for ssi.
