Our government should implement a single-payer system because access to high quality health care should be a right. (And will be once implemented.)

It shouldn't be a guaranteed right, but everyone should be able to earn the right through employment regardless of if they are working a minimum wage job or make $100k a year.

There are ALWAYS jobs that need to be done and people that are hiring for them. ALWAYS. People might not want to do the jobs or they might not like the pay, but the jobs are there. If tying Universal Healthcare to having ANY job fills those positions and gets people off unemployment that is a win.
Healthcare is humanity. Punishing someone because you’ve deemed them to be undeserving is a road your soul does not want to travel. Working a job for pay that doesn’t cover basic needs is a huge problem in this country. It’s not the workers fault. The system has been designed this way. Thus the wealth gap. The stress, frustration, and demoralized workers catch all the blame.
