I know everyone is commenting about the broken healthcare system for people while this dog got VIP treatment. But I think most of us wouldn’t want less for this dog—we just want affordable access too.

No one is mad the dog got treated for it's injuries. We're mad that humans aren't given the same respect.

This^ specifically the way police treat human injuries that they cause.

Jesus! has to be corporate America, where a human's worth is measured in how productive they are! What the f happened to you, America? Where is the humanity?

Ok then how are you measuring someone’s worth?

u/Good-Cartographer-98 19h ago

Why should we measure someone's worth in the first place?

I served my country (the United States) while working on the front lines in healthcare during the pandemic. The pandemic caused my autoimmune diseases to spiral, which caused catastrophic damage to my health. Now I'm disabled. So, according to you, I am no longer productive and no longer of worth?

I commend you for your service, society is lucky to have people like you and I'm really sorry your health took a turn for the worse all the while you were in service of others. Once again thank you. I totally think that, irrespective of what you can produce, society needs to be there for you and all of it's citizens.

Thank you. We all have something to provide. Even if it's "just" a reason for an essential worker to start their shift every day because they love their family. One's worth doesn't need to be decided by all of society, it may be small or large. The Butterfly Effect 🦋 is a perfect fit here.

Because nothing in life is free????

What a weird conversation we're having man! Lets say you have 2 children, one automatically will be more productive than the other. Would it be good parenting if you spread the love according to productivity? Love is time consuming, time is money, nothing is free right? Wtf man? It's effing America, the country that at each and every opportunity likes to remind the other 194 countries in the world that it's the richest most powerful one, in history!

Ok but you’re not my child. Why would you have any intrinsic value to me?

u/Good-Cartographer-98 13h ago

Citizens are a society's children, are they not? Why would such a basic thing as healthcare be directly proportional to output or productivity? I just can't get my head around it. Might be a naive European mindset talking here but basic services should be offered to all, especially if a country is the wealthiest the world has ever seen.

Why shouldn’t it? Why should you get to leech off others?
