You make it sound as though we are a rich country where the government can afford to pay for everyone’s medical bills and education. Our government has been looted by military and medical industries, the cupboards are bare. It will take revolutionary change.

Yes! Or worry about shelter or food or comforts! We should do away with free trade and put the government in charge of our choices! We're all too lazy and stupid to make it on our own!

I truly don't know how we're the only country with this archaic system.

Our for profit system won’t allow ppl to have the things they truly deserve

Thomas Malthus instructed the wealthy not to help the poor centuries ago, that it was futile and a waste of resources and that they just need to die off. This idea pervades our society today and until we embrace a new economic system, it will continue. thevenusproject.com/resource…

I agree ... Katie Porter is great ... but we still need MEDICARE 4 ALL!

I agree. But I don't see it happening w/o a revolution. Corruption and greed rules. They want the US Treasury for themselves, not the people. They lie and demagogue to get votes. And if GOP get their way, they won't even need votes anymore. They will dictate.

*Unless they need an ambulance.

But you know Marianne, they will say "But it's a step in the right direction", they said that about ACA too. They continue to milking/fleecing us for the Rich.

Totally agree. This legislation just shows how absurd our medical care is. It doesn't fix the absurdity, it simply highlights it.
