Must be something in the water, or maybe they like the feeling of wasted spending. Anyway, thankfully the Republican base is literally dying away and as long as Democrats can keep the corporatists from holding the reins to the party (they haven't managed it yet but who knows) then there may actually be a little bit of hope for the United States joining the rest of the world in the most fiscally efficient method of healthcare which will guarantee it to all US citizens like practically every other country in the world. |
Or we've seen no proof to show that universal healthcare would be better for us financially.
Since the AIA, mine, and everyone I knows premiums have all gone up by at least 50% at the minimum.
Medicare and Medicaid suck and doctors and many hospitals even refuse patients who use them because their rate of payment is so shitty.
Other areas that the government starts trying to help in pricing, just increases prices. Just look at the education. As soon as the government tried to help people pay for college, prices just increased exponentially. (don't bring up the few schools for profit. I'm not talking Trump University. I'm talking the public colleges that have been around for 50-100 years all of a sudden increasing in prices way more than they historically did each year, as soon as the government started guaranteeing kids money to pay fro school.)
