These seniors should vote for and advocate for a more expansive social safety net then.

Why don't I throw you in a cage, and then you can try voting for someone to advocate for your release.
The point is the seniors need help now, not being told to go organize. The healthcare system is broken, and until you get sucked into it, you don't understand the extent of it.
It's different for people less fortunate than ourselves. We all mostly work tech jobs with great pay and decent insurance. These people don't have that. A lot of them can't pay for food.
So yeah, I'm doubling down. Downvote away.
Why is it so hard to say the healthcare system is broken instead of blaming the seniors.
That dude's throwaway is doing real damage by normalizing the deflection of blame onto the patient.
They've spent their lives participating and interacting within the current political framework. Blaming all problems at the feet of "morally bankrupt leaders" is hyperbolic populist rhetoric to absolve personal responsibility.
Broad platitudes like "everyone should have access to healthcare" doesn't count
Most likely we need to reform the insurance industry, but systemic changes are definitely needed.
