Texas Gets Emergency Universal Healthcare

Turn off your lights and heater, faggot.

Is this why they flipped the switch in Texas.. excuse to come in and take over medical system due Covid? What scam can we expect next?

Is this to cover up all the incoming invaders at the Texas border that likely have Covid?

>Not sure if satire
Texas Republicans are unironically and unintentionally satirical in all they do and say.

>Is this why they flipped the switch in Texas

our health care system is fine. what this article is actually saying is "wah waaaah why don't they have free socialized healthcare in texas why do they reject communism waaaaaaaaaaah"

I'm alright jack, keep your hand off my stack.

I gonna chop that hand off with my sickle, bitch, after we take your guns outta your greasy fat lil fingers.

Everyone is going to want health insurance, because everyone wants to be able to afford medical treatment if something happens to their health. It's something subject to inelastic demand. And there are actually practical arguments around the cost effectiveness and affordability of any given healthcare system in providing for the public health. There's something to be said in terms of actual cost and public health outcomes for the government providing everyone basic insurance and negotiating prices with providers, instead of leaving that purely to the private sector.

Right now the Republican position is basically leave everything to the private market and when the inevitable inclement weather or economic downturn happens every year the federal government will just swoop in and rapidfire socialism to get things back to normal; mostly because they have no political ideology, they just say whatever they need to entrench their own power. And sometimes that means kowtowing to corporate interests by claiming markets are the solution to everything, and often that means totally ignoring that and pretending to care about their constituency when the existing system fails particularly badly.

Bad weather, infectious disease, and economic recession just aren't strange outlier events that we can afford to ignore when designing policy that governs utilities and healthcare and then every other year the federal government swoops in with emergency powers; that's not sensible way to structure governance.

Better to struggle and survive through disasters and learn how to prevent/better respond to them in the future than give 1 inch of ground to socialism in Texas. Cope seethe and dilate, Chang.
