31. Free healthcare? What fucking planet are you living now? My family and I.

Fri Jan 20, 2023, 10:51 AM

Jan 2023

never had any free healthcare.

You must be one of those boomers that were extremely lucky but most of them weren’t. Who had a father who worked at a union job and your family didn’t have to pay a cent for medical care. And a salary that allowed your family to have a middle class life style.

Lots of boomers weren’t so lucky. Especially those who were POC or those who didn’t have a father.

I Hear Ya, Even The Generations Can Have There Own Divisions GGoss Jan 2023 #85

To be precise, a 1945 born's a last year Silent Gen, a 1965 born's a 1st year Gen Xer, not a Boomer Celerity Jan 2023 #90
