We can afford to throw out $500 billion as a slush fund for businesses, and afford to bump the debt trillions, including giving most Americans a $1200 check.

WHY can't we afford M4All?

I would SO MUCH RATHER have healthcare than a space force, or a giant, bloated military. You know, some guy on here once told me, and I quote, "We aren't raising taxes to give you healthcare."

Problem is, WE ARE ALREADY PAYING A MASSIVE 'TAX' FOR HEALTHCARE. It's called 'premiums,' and the second problem is that people who can't pay don't get treated.

What we have is indefensible morally, intellectually and economically. The only way it can be defended is by saying shareholder profits are more important than human life. And, yeah, the hospital greed-lobby has been saying that for years.
