All advanced democracies in the world have universal healthcare except us. Hundreds of thousands of Americans die every year because of inadequate healthcare & for one reason only: the greed of the private insurance industry & the willingness of our political system to play ball.

And the fact that neither of them care about people - just money.
Replying to @marwilliamson
Great but rethink.. Maybe a 20% sales tax...again no more people not paying taxes.. Or a minimum 20% income tax...everyone has to pay not just the rich you've spent their money already

And the US is NOT a democracy by any stretch of the imagination. It NEVER was.

Never going to happen, sadly.
Replying to @marwilliamson
Yeah, but here is what would happen if we passed it. The Supreme Court would strike it down, because, you know, that is an advanced democracy where 9 unelected, lifetime appointed aristocrats rule us. Please quit calling this a democracy. It is an illusion created by the rich.

So how do you plan on paying for this free unicorn society? Inflation is Thru the roof due to all the newly printed money. I would love to be able to give free college, free healthcare, etc. you have to understand economics 101. Our Government is broke!!!

We have universal healthcare in Costa Rica thanks to the vision of our Social Reformer Dr Calderón Guardia.
Replying to @marwilliamson
We know all that. So what's the plan?
Replying to @marwilliamson
The problems and the reasons have been clear for decades. It is just the solution that is not being put in place: power.
Replying to @marwilliamson
Maybe the U.S. isn't an "advanced democracy" after all? Maybe, in our conceit, we've been comparing ourselves to the wrong standard.
