    I have a cousin who I wouldn’t say is a 1%er, but maybe a 5%er. Very well off. You know why she’s against universal health care?

    Because “they” (poor people) would be able to see “her” doctor. And “she pays for a doctor that is good enough where he doesn’t have to work for ‘those’ people”. And she shouldn’t have to wait extra time for an appointment, dammit! Do you know who she is?!?!?!?!?

    Yeah, she’s one of them. Needless to say, we don’t talk much. I just wanted to say that there are plenty of people who are against universal healthcare because they think that somehow a kid going to see a doctor for the first time will somehow inconvenience them.

    Some people don’t pull the ladder up behind them. They kick it down, then wave bye-bye to you while watching you fall.

        She is, in every way, the standard, stereotypical 1%er Karen. Knowing that would mean she has awareness of the world around her.

      She could find a doctor who only accepts private insurance if she wants. Does she not know that?
