And this is what Americans are beginning to understand… There’s no good reason why Americans don’t have universal healthcare like they have in every other advanced democracy. Some politicians would have you believe “it’s complicated.” But it isn’t complicated. It’s corrupt.

This one time, as I was leaving the doctor’s office in Germany and they knew I was American the front desk quipped, “We’ll send you the bill.” I was like sure, okay — and then the staff burst out laughing. German joke! There’s no bill, not like in America. Ha ha! HA! 🙄😆

YOU FORGOT TO MENTION GERMANY'S 35% INCOME TAX LOL

There's good reason. In 1910 the free market medical care that had gotten too cheap was eliminated by the foundations of the wealthy and the AMA. What we ended up with is a Rockefeller medical system that serves progressive society management goals.

There is a good reason. I want better care than the government would give me

rationing is a thing. the UK tossed around the idea of denying all but emergency care to the morbidly obese. And they literally killed 2 kids and would have left a third on a transplant list if the bad PR didn't force them to send him to the US for an operation

what americans aren’t beginning to understand is that dumping weapons into a war never brings about peace.

How are you going to pay for it? Until you have a solid answer for that question, you will not win the nomination. Talk to the economist, Stephanie Kelton, to learn that solid answer.

What I understand is that I don’t want government to be the middle man between me and my doctor.

You mean, besides the fact that people don’t want to pay for it. In Europe, a shitload of real wages are taxed for universal healthcare. It’s not just the rich that pay.

How dumb are you people — it's not free. The median income tax bracket in the U.S. is 13%, whereas in Germany, it's THIRTY-FIVE PERCENT (35%!!!). You're paying one way or another.. you just lose your choice in doing so.

And who is corrupt and is the primary reason we don't have it? Tell us the truth, unvarnished, that Joe, Kamala and the DNC are wholly corrupt and swear to not bend the knee when they cheat you, and I'd be all in. But you gotta go hard.
