The #MarchForOurLivesLA #MarchForOurLives is obviously well-intentioned.
I just wish people *also* marched for the lives of the approximate 100 per day, 3000 per month, and 36,000 per year who die in our country for lack of health insurance.

And it should upset you, too. Because imagine if universal healthcare actually got this kind of a push, and this kind of media coverage. It could change the world. And unlike
#GunControl#GunControlNow, it *would* immediately save *thousands* of American lives *every month*.Pokaż ten wątek -
But it universal healthcare doesn’t get this kind of a push because the healthcare industry are also huge advertisers. And because, again, people don’t seem to care about deaths that won’t happen to them. This is why white people are less incensed about POC killed by police, too.

I encourage everybody to *always*
#followthemoney. Ultimately, money is why certain things are covered by our media, and other things aren’t. It’s not morals or principles, it’s just money. The same money that allows 100 poor Americans per day to die for lack of health insurancePokaż ten wątek -
In the end, the hashtag says it best: It’s
#MarchForOURLives, which denotes the self-interest at play. If people who have health insurance were to march for universal healthcare, it would be altruism; ie#MarchForTHEIRLives Self-interest, as always, is the problem here.Pokaż ten wątek

How does universal healthcare stop a cop from shooting an unarmed man 20 times in his own backyard? Why can't you dude bros see that some of us have more pressing issues than healthcare.

I like this part, but this is a March to save lives of children from gun violence, LED by those kids. Children normally don't think about, & shouldn't be expected to be concerned about healthcare or insurance. It's amazing what they have accomplished. Don't piss on their efforts.
