(63,221 posts)Seriously. I feel physically ill about this. It is so wrong. What the hell is wrong with this country?
We are supposedly the wealthiest nation in the world and we can't take care of our own citizens when they are ill and unable to afford healthcare. This is sick and it needs to change. No excuses. If we can afford a bloated military and massive tax cuts for the rich and corporations, then we can afford universal healthcare for all. Period. The budget needs to be reworked in favor of the people.

(13,596 posts)write checks to cover it, and still be billionaires. So they may all be a little closer to the rest of the pack wealth wise, but would still be the richest people in the world.

(11,885 posts)5-10% ASAP and look at ways to add revenues to help cover many corona virus issues and recovery, but it may be too late by then. reduce tax loopholes they're using , reduce spending on needless programs not working like their war on drugs, or large company subsidies like for oil companies. The farmers need help now, or things will get worse very fast. By not getting the help to the people by covering all health costs, they're causing many not to seek help, and spread it more.
