r/tuesday This lady's not for turning 19d ago

Semi-Weekly Discussion Thread - December 16, 2024

INTRODUCTION

/r/tuesday is a political discussion sub for the right side of the political spectrum - from the center to the traditional/standard right (but not alt-right!) However, we're going for a big tent approach and welcome anyone with nuanced and non-standard views. We encourage dissents and discourse as long as it is accompanied with facts and evidence and is done in good faith and in a polite and respectful manner.

PURPOSE OF THE DISCUSSION THREAD

Like in r/neoliberal and r/neoconnwo, you can talk about anything you want in the Discussion Thread. So, socialize with other people, talk about politics and conservatism, tell us about your day, shitpost or literally anything under the sun. In the DT, rules such as "stay on topic" and "no Shitposting/Memes/Politician-focused comments" don't apply.

It is my hope that we can foster a sense of community through the Discussion Thread.

IMAGE FLAIRS

r/Tuesday will reward image flairs to people who write an effort post or an OC text post on certain subjects. It could be about philosophy, politics, economics, etc... Available image flairs can be seen here. If you have any special requests for specific flairs, please message the mods!

The list of previous effort posts can be found here

Considering the discourse; what are peoples ideas for healthcare reform in this country? Are there any other countries that have systems that you think we could draw inspiration from? What are peoples thoughts on national solutions vs regional ones and their feasibility?

Separate health insurance from employment. If employers want to offer that as a benefit, let them compete. But give people the ability to get health insurance and not be reliant on being stuck in a shitty job.

How would that work? I guess exempt income spent for health insurance from income tax?

This matters so little to the people who absolutely won’t be able to afford it

You convert the income exclusion for employer-paid health premiums into a fully-refundable tax credit.
