Don't forget the Universal healthcare is 1/3 cheaper than what the US spends on healthcare per year.

The US spends 6 billion a year on defense. We canâ€™t find money for universal healthcare. 68 million Americans are uninsured or underinsured. This is a priorities problem.

Hold them accountable.

Thats full time at Walmart or the Dollar Store or a fast food joint. And those are NOT easy jobs. One of the Big 3 Dems need to run on. Affordability, Health Care and Corruption.

We've got a media and political system that has melted the brains of so many voters that they would say "Yeah, I don't mind paying more and getting less out of my healthcare system as long as THE UNDESERVING OTHERS don't get quality healthcare"

It works out for Medicare, Medicade, VA medical and Tricare to 27% of the budget. This doesn’t take into consideration the outlay at state levels.
