    It’s not just that. It’s also the “I don’t want my tax dollars paying for some other person’s health care” crowd.

      Yeah my dumbass neighbor used to argue that he shouldn’t have to pay for women’s feminine care when he pays for his medical insurance. And I’m like, “Are you fucking kidding me? Do you have any idea how many male-centric diseases are covered by insurance?” Fucking stupid self-centered dipshits. And it was dumb because in every other way this guy was pretty intelligent.

      I don’t want my taxes to pay for someone else’s healthcare. I want my post tax dollars to pay for wealthy CEOs’ yachts, and my tax dollars to pay for some other person’s healthcare but at ridiculous rates.

      Particularly those people, you know? The ones I can’t mention directly so I have plausible deniablity, but we all actually know who I’m talking about and it’s not even a dogwhistle anymore.

      I wouldn’t want those people to receive qualitative care. I’d rather pay for some other person’s new yacht than for these people’s bare necessities.
