USA, Worlds largest economy, first to walk on moon

policeman of the world, we can do anything, but we can’t do that. Universal Healthcare. Is there a clear choice? Universal Health Care or millions continue to suffer more and die earlier.

bony finger in Joe Biden's face.

I am sick and tired of Bernie wagging his finger and yelling at me while telling me what the problem is. I know what the fucking problem is!

If he really wanted universal coverage he should have proposed bills implementing the public option for those millions who are not covered.

Improving the ACA is the fastest way to universal health care provided it survives trump.

Get people covered them convince me that a single payer government mandated health care system is best. Let the experts give us the facts on what single payer is and what it would cost and how to implement it and what changes it brings to our current method of providing health care from both the patient and provider perspective.

I have been researching co-pays and deductibles in Biden’s plan and no where can I find any hard figures. All I find is co-pays and deductibles will be lower. He had hard numbers on premiums but nothing about co-pays and deductibles.

Co-pays and deductibles are what prevents about 1/2 the people under ACA from getting expensive procedures and medicine.
