A few Repukes stopped expanded healthcare for children....

Do we actually believe that more people will have access to healthcare when it is all said and done?

It seems so simple. Someone breaks an arm fix it. Someone gets sick heal them. Someone is dying, make their last days comfortable.

Is that too much to ask of the richest, most powerful nation on earth?

Greed ruins everything.

1. We are playing with make belief money being printed daily by the government

We are only a rich country if we all start paying substantial taxes across the board - no one but those below the poverty line excepted.

2. that is true...

Richest...meaning that the society we have has a large number of very wealthy and powerful individuals and corporations...

We really have no government. It is bought and paid for.
