38. One aspect of this that I never see mentioned is that Universal Health would be a HUGE job creator
in just about every sector you can imagine. We would need to build new clinics and hospitals and medical schools and we would have to employ every aspect in the health industry: nurses, doctors, techs, lab workers, maintenance, food workers, etc.

These could be good, decent paying jobs. It's almost like not only is this the ticket to peace of mind and healthcare, it is also a ticket out of poverty and hopelessness so that many people could look forward to something other than low-paying, dead end jobs. Healthcare jobs could replace all the old manufacturing jobs we have shipped elsewhere.

This is a win-win-win-win. Only the self-serving would be against this.
