Medicare4All is the only way to end the spectacle of the richest country in the world, for the sake of a sick devotion to a soulless bottom line, fail to prevent and then fail to treat disease among its own citizens.

Doctors at Allina Health System, a wealthy nonprofit hospital network, aren’t allowed to see patients with too much medical debt. Allina gets huge tax breaks to care for poor people, but has an explicit policy of cutting off patients who can't pay. nytimes.com/2023/06/01/busin…

The surest way to kill off Europes socialized healthcare system is to end the golden goose that is Americas healthcare system. No longer will Europe be able to take advantage of all the innovations in medicine made possible by free enterprise. Socialism subsidized by capitalism

The most important thing is that you must remain steadfast in your refusal to learn economics

No, but getting the government out of healthcare entirely would, while not perfect, be a much better approach.

The name is a bit of an obstacle, though; a lot of people think M4A would just be the current form of Medicare (which kinda sucks) extended to everyone. I think something like "national health insurance" might work better.

Only with a government that does not value individual liberty can stealing from some to provide for others be justified. If your government does not value individual liberty, then the citizenry is just a resource pool to be used as those in government wish.

Richest country in the world with the best medical care ever!

Sure, if we end 2T deficits and pass a balanced budget amendment in the constitution.

“Very few people can afford to be sick, under the existing conditions. And socialized medicine is no solution, in the sense that it will not give back to the individual his proper energies, even if it helps him to pay the bill for his mistakes.” ~Manly P. Hall (1958)

Could the lack of medical care for the average citizen be why members of Congress are now living so much longer than the average American?
