Has there ever, in history, been a worker owned mass voice by the people, for the people?

I can't think of one, just mass media to promote the interests of the ruling class

Late 1700s France, I think. The people collectively spoke then. Also early 1900 Germany. And this past November.

Maybe the most common voice (language?) of the people is brutality.

My apparently Woke mall dumped the 'Black Friday' moniker. They now do 'Fabulous Friday'.

No there isn’t. But in developed countries these costs are paid from taxes and universal affordable healthcare works pretty well in them. You bring up long waiting times, and that might be true in some cases. But this isn’t an either/or thing, you can still have private healthcare coverage for faster access, these things co-exist in many places. Really nothing would be taken away from you, it just saves lives of the less fortunate. Someone like Sanders or AOC are the examples of people who get this. At some point people just started to care too much about just themselves instead of the greater good for the communities. The world we live in is ****ing sad.

You can't really reason with people who believe that the right to being alive has to be earned (unless they're talking about abortion...but obviously there's no hypocrisy there!)

And those safety nets already exist and have existed for ages.

If your children were to be left without you or any support, without income, you'd be ok with them just dying from an illness because they can't afford healthcare? I imagine the answer is no, so let's jump to that. Why would this situation be any different from say, a taxpaying adult who can't afford healthcare?

And if this is where you start to go on about the healthcare marketplace...save it. You've never had to use it, and have never been forced to choose between treating a serious injury/illness and buying food.

Right to life historically meant more like not being murdered than right to other people's labor.

I'm not suggesting that anybody not be paid for their labor. We have police, fire, primary schools, transportation departments and all that paid from our taxes and provided free of charge to citizens...why not healthcare? Are people that are against universal healthcare against those things as well? Trying to understand the difference with healthcare, if not
