I'm just happy to live in a country with Universal Healthcare and free market capitalism. It amazes how a nation that did the New Deal could have such issues with this matter.

Well it doesn't help when the government is already pouring a endless stream of money into many social services. Even before reaching some sort of public healthcare option there is always some new social program being proposed, like universal basic income.

I agree that there are many social programmes that compete for the same space and there are ways in which the US could do them better (and other countries aswell) but we do know from other countries that Universal healthcare saves the people and government money and that is what baffles me. I know that it´s corporate America that doesn´t want universal healthcare and that they have bought many politicians but I still find it astounding how many politicians that lack vision for the country.
