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.

We have a Congress of political prostitutes who sell their votes and award government contracts to corporations that make “campaign donations” (aka bribes).

And yet the cost of healthcare is the highest in the world.

We've gotten ourselves into one hell of a pickle. And no improvement to anyone's life is on the horizon. Only more desperation is in sight.

We pay for it with our tax system! It is not free!

Australia here. We can pay 1.5% of our tax or take out insurance. I'm insured, needed major surgery in public hosp with recovery in a private hosp. All I paid was $40 for a medical cream. Our public hospitals are under pressure but if u need treatment, it's taxpayer funded

Every doctor will tell you it’s the insurance companies. They prohibit doctors from practicing real healthcare. And keep us sick for profit

The American healthcare system is wrongly incentivised. What do private insurance companies contribute to healthcare? Get rid of them.
