Twitter star "Hamfisted Bun Vendor," a cancer survivor, responds to Trump's Universal HC tweet.

Donald J. Trump? Verified account @realDonaldTrump

The Democrats are pushing for Universal HealthCare while thousands of people are marching in the UK because their U system is going broke and not working. Dems want to greatly raise taxes for really bad and non-personal medical care. No thanks!

system. So many RWingers still believe that because they don't travel and don't read information about how defective our health care system really is. They don't see the logic of universal health care i.e. people who have health care provided through the taxes everyone pays it makes us all healthier, cuts down on infection rates and cancer is caught earlier.

The ambulance was called, she was taken to the hospital. FREE. In the hospital in traction 6 weeks with a hairline fracture of her hip. FREE. Transferred to convalescent center for 6 weeks FREE. Before she was allowed home, the visiting nurse inspected the house, to make sure it was safe for her to walk in a walker. The nurse came over once weekly, checking on her. FREE. Hearing aids are FREE. I paid $3,600 for mine. Do not let them tell you National Health Services do not work. They do. The politicians need the large donations from pharma companies, and others, so they keep us all in debt for healthcare. How many politicians own nursing homes, or run health insurance companies? As long as there is big money to be had, we will continue to be royally SCREWED. Of course, the politicians get the best of care, even after retirement. It is a scam.

29. The NHS is absolutely brilliant.
Mon Feb 5, 2018, 05:44 PM
Feb 2018

It is not perfect. But it is brilliant.

My grandfather had two pacemakers, and a whole load of medicine for his emphysema. My father has had multiple heart surgeries, bowel surgery, and prostate cancer. Neither of them had to file bankruptcy, nor received any bills in the mail asking for payment. All were treated - on the NHS. No copays. No deductibles. Paid through National Insurance Contributions through the pay cheque, paid according to their means.

Oh, and the NHS covers everyone in the UK. Costs a whole lot less than US medicine too. Yes, it is groaning at the seams and it has always been groaning at the seams. But you know what? Unlike US health care systems... it works.

As for marching to save the NHS... yes, my father's been there and my sister has been there (she's a RN, presently working NHS). I'd join them but I'm here in the States. Ironically it is so strange that the marching to save the NHS happens whenever there is a Conservative government in power.

The Royal family try to go NHS where possible as a matter of principle. Prince William worked for a time as an Air Ambulance pilot. So if the NHS is good enough for royalty, it's good enough for the rest of us peons... ehe

All Brits pay for their healthcare with taxes.
Like our Medicare.
Kinda.

Some will think it's picky, but I think it's important.
Right wingers will latch on the to 'free stuff' meme.
No, they paid for it, BUT they are getting good value for their money AND the peace of mind not to have to worry about medical bills bankrupting them.

It is not free, but there are no bills to be paid. My family in the UK are happy with the NHS, and do not want to lose it, especially for a system like the US has.

Maybe we shouldn't have kicked all the Brits out back in the 1700s. Maybe we should have kept a few around to help us expand our new United States vocabulary.

I usually limit my description of Trump as an "a**hole", but the Brits, at least this one, spread it out into a nice burning shot to a Trump-like ego.

Those in the north wanted Washington as a king. The southerners created democracy. Jefferson lost and we wound up with the imperial president. Canada is better now, Britain too, but up to 1980 we were doing better. It has been the rise of royalism that has done this to us.

compromises to give more power to slave states resulted in the electoral college. And the USA's history of slavery and white supremacy, and the erosion of that white supremacy with the Civil Rights Act, Voting Rights Act, increasing non-white population, and election of a black president, are what led to Trump, the Birther-in-Chief, winning a major-party presidential nomination and an election.

I'm from Wisconsin, home of the Birchers and Joe McCarthy. We need to own our history good and bad. Yes, the EC was created by slave owners. The horror of the first 70 years must be remembered. But it was southerners who designed the republic. It was Washington and Jefferson who chose democracy and the foundation of inalienable rights.

It goes without saying. But you don't throw the baby out with the bath water.

IMO, most of problems, in western democratic countries, are caused when Conservatives cycle into power for a few terms. At least the less moderate ones. That is where instead of increasing funding, for more doctors, nurses, equipment, hospitals, they cut funding, and privatize whatever their own health laws allow them to get away with. They do this partly to stoke a self fulfilling prophesy that public healthcare is failing. At least that is what our Con PM tried to do for 10 years up here in Canada before Justin Trudeau and the Liberals won back power.

But when they do this, it only exacerbates problems of longer wait times etc. and gives fuel to Con media personalities to use that on less educated listeners to demonize the public system.

Even if properly funded, any single payer configuration will cost much less than what the US has now for every person. The one big hurdle is to convince a large percentage that paying half as much, but as a TAX, is better than paying double as an insurance BILL.

"Anyone who needs a meal, you are welcome, no questions asked, you don't have to talk unless you want to, and if you do, I'll listen."

Not an exact quote but pretty close. Asked his followers to re-tweet the invitation and donate if they could.

He said "I can't just sit in my town and watch people suffer during the holidays without doing something."

Also not an exact quote, but once again, pretty close.

All of the money from his "Shitgibbon" Trump merchandise goes to charity.

He's probably one of the most interesting people to follow on Twitter.

He also has a penchant for Carolina Reaper, Scorpion, and other hot peppers that would burn a hole through the Incredible Hulk.

Schiff has more integrity in his right testicle than you have in your entire body. While you are as much use as a serial wanker with two dicks and no arms, he’s honest, credible and intelligent.

Oh fucking fuck me, Fuckbleberry Quim.. you’re serious.. Excuse me while I slam a frying pan in my own face.

I realise you have the IQ of a genetically defective guppy, but “soooo”? You’re the fucking President. Allegedly. Act like it, you shrewfaced hog-rocket.

Pat Robertson has had a stroke. Katie Hopkins collapsed on Ketamine. Karma, you may take the rest of the day off. Unless you fancy giving an orange lunatic a bout of explosive diarrhoea on live television.
