Why can't the government just give us all a guaranteed income of $50,000 per year? Can't we just continue to import illegal aliens and have them do the work and pay the taxes? I really think it's time for the government to take care of its real citizens. And give us that free health care like they got in Canada.

Trust me....you don't want the US government involved in your healthcare.
Especially when they put hot mess systems like this into place. Many of our friends have struggled to make appointments, get prescriptions filled, and the Dr's having issues with accessing medical records in general. The list is endless.

Also look at the VA.

Forget about health care as a human right. Just be thankful that God doesn't charge you or tax you to breathe His air.

Why can’t the government just give us beachfront homes and one month paid vacations to the locations of our choice? If they took away every rich person’s billions/millions and put it into free real estate we could all live as we deserve.

Well for one you'd be wrong about that too.

Far more Americans leave for healthcare than foreigners come to America. Last count was well over a million and a half each and every year.

Carry on with your silly meme though if it makes you feel superior.

I agree to this but only to some extent. Those in congress, etc make a lot of money while in office we won’t get into what they make from special interest groups. They are supposed to work for us not get rich off of us.

We certainly could do it if we stopped all these stupid wars that our politicians constantly jack off to while watching us kill innocent men women and children and destroying everything.

Other than greed, is there any good reason we can't shut down all these health insurance companies and just have the govt itself foot the bill for every persons healthcare needs? God forbid rich people only have 50-100K to live off of compared to millions/billions.
It's ironic to get health insurance, you have to pay for it...

It's also ironic that people think they don't have to pay for anything...

You can't have something, you aren't willing to pay for... Seriously..

What's the difference between paying the gov versus a health insurance company? YOU are still paying for it...

No doubt about it, it's mainly people who are in great health and can't remember the last time they had a headache, who are against universal health care. Who needs it?

Medicare for all is the future. Once Democrats figure that out, it’s bedtime for the GOP.
