The point about the rich, privileged right wing in America.

They can’t understand basic reality or practicality. 

Or how the real world works in the end.

privileged capitalists really think that illnesses/disabilities are luxuries…

I fucking love how the argument is “Well you could afford X fancy thing so you should be able to afford Y healthcare.” with no disregard of the fact that Y healthcare could literally be a million times more expensive than a stupid sofa. Like, this is how you treat a child who bought ice cream over like a toy of the same cost. “I’m sorry little Timmy but you only had so much money and you chose to have a decent living situation so unfortunately the leg you broke will just have to wait till next time.”

maybe we should just price things in comparison to much cheaper things to see if they understand how fucking expensive everything is
one month of health insurance sans ACA is worth about 33 iphones.
A month of rent in a decent apartment is about 150 movie tickets without including utilities and such.
