A reporter for The New York Times suggested in an Instagram story that the United States is a "trash country" because of its current healthcare system.

Taylor Lorenz, a technology reporter for The Times, was answering a question from one of her followers, who asked why "COVID hasn’t woken new Americans up to fight for free healthcare." Lorenz then gave an anti-American response to the question.

"Yeah if a global pandemic doesn’t help people in this trash country recognize the problems in our healthcare system [I don't know] what will," Lorenz wrote Monday.

Well we're working really hard at trashing it. But, if it is SO bad, why do foreigners of means ($$$$) come here when something serious needs medically fixed? And, taylor, name the places that are better. We'll wait. When things are "free" they become quite costly.

I’ll never understand why people like Taylor stay in the USA. If I hated a place so much, I would decamp for greener pastures post haste.

When other people have to pay for it, it isn't "free." Forcing other people to work while still others collect the fruits of their labor is slavery.

I thought we did away with slavery?

I LOVE that little graphic. That is conservatism in a nutshell, isn’t it?

I saved it for future use.

Yup. We suck so move to utopia. PLENTY of illegals arriving in this hell hole that could do taylor’s “job” just as well or better. And they may not have journalism degress either.

True. Bill Cunningham (talk show host) said Mick Jagger had to have the same stent heart procedure done as he did.
“You’ll notice he came to the United States to have it done, not the British system near his home or going to Cuba. If our system is so faulty why do people try to get here to use it?”

after Romney-ObamaCARE, medicine was doomed.

fees went to the Congress, Vatican, UK, and prying
investigators/lawyers
instead of nurses and physicians and hospitals.

too bad.

now the doctors are transformed by the
FDA and CDC into lying murderers.

will they leave

will they be on the side
of the concentration camps as their Mengele du jour.

so many “choices” as Freedom has been lost.

Can it be market-based and affordable? Competition? People paying for the little things such as checkups? HSA’s?

That is further proof that Stolen Elections come at a very high price and bring dire consequences with them. There is also the fact that our bloated government is loaded to the rafters with self serving reprobates who have come to the notion that they are unaccountable to the Sovereign Citizens of this Republic.

This must not be permitted to continue.

... free healthcare...

Do people still believe in a free lunch. What this really means is the working, productive, members of society pay for everything the unemployed, unproductive, members of society want. If you like Amtrak and the Post Office, you'll love gov't-run health care.
