I'm a Benefits Administrator and have worked w employee benefits for years. I really enjoy having great benefits and explaining how those benefits work to our employees. I feel like I'm helping people w a complicated and messy system.
I firmly believe in universal Healthcare. It's a basic human right, it's cheaper than our current system, and everyone gets the help they need. I can go work elsewhere. It just makes sense. But, who knows if that will EVER happen in the US.
I decided to get my Certification in Employee Benefit Systems (CEBS) to become more knowledgeable. I came across this info in my study materials and I just wanted to scream.
I'm so fucking tired of the brainwashing and propaganda about how great our capitalist society is. We still have 26,000 people dying annually because of no Healthcare. I saw a video of a hospital discharge a stroke victim because she had no insurance. She wouldn't leave because she needed help, so the police were called. She died in their van.
And whenever I have a conversation w someone who is against universal Healthcare because it costs too much, I explain how it would actually save $100 BILLION / YEAR. Then the conversation basically dissolves into that person not wanting to pay for Healthcare for someone they deem as “unworthy”.
I'm so fucking tired of the bullshit.
TLDR: Being taught that America's Healthcare system is awesome and I lose it.
