If you want to go fast, go alone. If you want to go far, go together.
With respect to healthcare, any "savings" that come from denial of care, are negated by the social cost of a less healthy population.

Welcome to the Unpopular Opinion community!
How voting works:
Vote the opposite of the norm.
If you agree that the opinion is unpopular give it an arrow up. If it's something that's widely accepted, give it an arrow down.
Guidelines:
Tag your post, if possible (not required)
- If your post is a "General" unpopular opinion, start the subject with [GENERAL].
- If it is a Lemmy-specific unpopular opinion, start it with [LEMMY].
Rules:
1. NO POLITICS
Politics is everywhere. Let's make this about [general] and [lemmy] - specific topics, and keep politics out of it.
2. Be civil.
Disagreements happen, but that doesn’t provide the right to personally attack others. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Please also refrain from gatekeeping others' opinions.
3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.
Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.
4. Shitposts and memes are allowed but...
Only until they prove to be a problem. They can and will be removed at moderator discretion.
5. No trolling.
This shouldn't need an explanation. If your post or comment is made just to get a rise with no real value, it will be removed. You do this too often, you will get a vacation to touch grass, away from this community for 1 or more days. Repeat offenses will result in a perma-ban.
6. Defend your opinion
This is a bit of a mix of rules 4 and 5 to help foster higher quality posts. You are expected to defend your unpopular opinion in the post body. We don't expect a whole manifesto (please, no manifestos), but you should at least provide some details as to why you hold the position you do.
Instance-wide rules always apply. https://legal.lemmy.world/tos/

Maybe we can make a deal. Maybe together we can get somewhere. Any place is better.
Starting from zero, got nothing to lose :) Maybe we'll make something. Me, myself, I got nothing to prove!
You got a fast car. I got a plan to get us out of here. I been working at the convenience store. Managed to save just a little bit of money! Won't have to drive too far... Just 'cross the border and into the city. You and I can both get jobs.. And finally see what it means to be living!
wtf is a USian? Is it like asian but with a ‘u’?
I really don't understand the meaning? am I missing something here?
No polling indicated public opinion shifted on this and we are being adaptive!
It seems to be working but none of the thinktanks we work with can identify why yet, we suspect an influencer on a social media platform we haven't discovered yet is spreading these ideas.
