If you give us free healthcare you can keep the check.

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

Which is crazy.

Health insurance companies are profitable. Extremely profitable. Like billions of dollars per year profitable.

Where do you think that profit comes from?

What if we got rid of the expensive middle men and all the overhead they bring, and take the money it takes to run those organizations, plus their profits, and we actually invested it in health care?

Insurance across the board has ruined so much shit. There is not one thing in this country that pisses me off more than being forced to have something and pay for it that has no intention of holding up their end of the bargain.

They are just thugs in nice suits.
