We need to revolutionize health care by providing Bernie Sanders type clinics everywhere.
We have gotten too far from the traditional model where you can stop by a doctor with no need for insurance and pay a decent amount for good services if you can afford it, or subsidized right there.

It is not necessary for catastrophic health insurance at this entry point as these clinics don't provide those services anyway.

By providing basic healthcare, we may be able to cut down on the larger problems and all people will have access.

1. YES!!
Eliminate the middleman! End the bureaucracies!

Take health care back from the vampires at Big Ins.

Communities can do this. Break free. Let's make it happen.

3. They could aim for the cheapest drugs that do the job properly too.
Doctors are too influenced by the Pharma reps.

2. Just like "Move Your Money" is working against banks
The people can get what they want via "Move Your Medical Care" to Bernie Sanders style clinics. They can hire doctors. They can find donated empty space.

Work around the system when the system stinks.

Don't take no for an answer!
