What is the most promising pathway to reach universal healthcare?

LesserAbe@lemmy.world to Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world – 84 points –

Let's assume we want all people to have health care. What are the steps / methods most likely to get us there?

In the U.S. seems like we're a long way from that goal. I'm curious about chunking down the big goal into smaller steps. Interested to hear perspectives from other countries too.

First you do Universal Pet Health, which you push by just talking about how good it would be for dogs and ranch families.

Then you talk about how silly it is that we have UPH, but not UBH, especially when UBH would help with our nation's combat readiness.

What is the B in UBH?

Basic: we want to ensure everyone drinks pumpkin spice White Claws, has a pH of at least 7.1, or is basically healthy. Their choice.

Nah fuck that. Everyone benefits from universal human healthcare, but free vets overwhelmingly benefit wealthy and rural people.
