    Unemployment insurance is not health insurance... Mel was saying a lot of people that lost their jobs also lost their health insurance at the same time.

    You're dealing with people prepared to die for Trump's economy rather than to embrace socialist programs. And I'm not making a metaphor. A number of Republican boomers have suggest that while the rest of us quarantine they all go out and work and spend until coronavirus literally kills them. You're arguing with people who think this is a better solution than universal basic income, healthcare, and education. They worship a president who just denied NY's request for more ventilators. Then they all get in their cars with their pro life bumper stickers. It's a farce and I cannot take these people seriously

    You know what is wrong here? You want things shown to you, hand held. That is not the way the world works. You hav3 options there. Options for healthcare. That is what is wrong. Socialism has incompetence. completely incapable of doing such minimal work yourself.
    Health Care Coverage Options for Unemployed

    Not to mention CDC said they would cover tests and treatment for covid19

    seriously. “ What about me.... me me me. “

    Why aren’t you forgoing what you get and helping out Italy?

    pretty sad when a canadian has to show you the way, but I am thinking socialists should be getting on a plane to save the world since there is such concern about trump and what he is not doing. Get off your ass and do something, even if it is just for yourself. Are you incapable of doing even that?

    I don't think the majority of us "crazy socialists" in this thread are worried about themselves... So it's not about "me me me" at all.

    Or call 1-800-729-5470. That is Medicare. Apparently the have recently made changes to their plan because of covid19. So call to see if the new benefits are available in your area at no additional cost.

    then who are you worried about? People are complaining about things that seem to be available if you would just do a little look. Worried about Italy? China? Who?

    not sure why you quote crazy socialists like that. Did I say that or are putting that in quotes because that is how you see socialism?

    There's only one kind of socialism. The bad kind!
    So eat your capitalist stew and like it or you clearly love dictators and poverty.

    Other Americans that just lost job and health insurance at the same time...

    Do you have a problem with that? It's called compassion... Maybe you've heard of it before... Maybe not.

    read the websites above. Learn to buck up here, that is what you are going to have to do, or anyone who lost their job. Like everyone. Not just socialists, they just seem to complain the most instead of looking into solutions. It is there is you are willing to look.

    these are church run of course,

    soup kitchens, food banks, shelters, public showers, and if you lost your job you can still continue with Medicare benefits, then there is unemployment to apply for. Time to stop living the life you once had and tighten up the boot straps for a bit, figure it out. Most of us have done that. Never enough, want want want,

    Charity has never been sufficient to sustain the poor. Ever. That is why there are government programs.

    never said it was but it helps, and there are government programs that have been 8n place, which started prior to the depression, which a republican started up in the USA,

    I wonder how many socialists are hoarding toilet paper, would this be greed?

    Because quotes denote something somebody may have said... doesn't have to be even remotely true, but so and so may have said it.

    None of us are socialists. Anything to the left of center is not automatically socialism. What part of that don't you understand?


    Ummm... None of this applies to me. As I said, it's not about "me me me"

    But that’s socialist and is bad, right?
    So we should rely on charity. Which is not enough.

    .

    oh I don’t know about that. I have heard old should die, talk of how old people should not be given benefits on this forum. By the left, and now the fake worry about how people will have nothing. There are options, pass it on to whoever you think needs too. It is a lot of hype.
