And I’m saying it shouldn’t be tied to your employment. Every citizen should have universal healthcare options, regardless of their employment status. Therefore it’s a national issue, and not an worker’s rights issue. If someone is disabled, or unemployed, or a small business owner, or whatever, they should still have healthcare. Life saving services should be completely unrelated to your work, or lack thereof.
Edit: and as far as I know, that’s how it works in Europe, so it’s not a right that European workers have, it’s a right that all citizens have. Hopefully that clarifies why I said it’s a national issue and not a worker’s rights issue.
