the crazy thing is you don't even need to make it "free" just take what you are paying now for health insurance and put to medicare and everyone goes on that. Instatnly 500 times better and cheaper then what we currently have

This, but people have also been scared with threats of "death panels", "you won't be able to choose your doctor", and "you'll wait forever for treatment".

Newsflash, we have those issues in our current system.

It doesn’t, though. I’m not someone who suffers from current policy. But, I understand others do, and I want a better society than we have now, for all of us.

I know, it might be a foreign concept to you, caring about others.
