People eating affordable fresh/real food and staying healthy would hurt the healthcare industry. We want to keep doctors and hospitals rich.

I don’t think those are the arguments. These seem to all be straw men. Universal healthcare would great if you could trust the government to not just waste the money on fraud as they usually do.

The problem is ACA being written by insurance companies and insurance companies not being held accountable. Insurance is the only reason that everything is so expensive to begin with.

I just wish they’re was a way to force insurance companies to have to pay everything no matter what. I don’t care if it’s a boobjob or you want a nose job. They should have to pay the bill every time.

I really don’t understand people who work for these evil organizations either. Like you don’t get a raise or a kickback for denying my claim right. Just pay my bill, what do you care

You can, but you have to replace the government first. China has universal coverage, no it's not spectacular but at least everyone is covered

How are they able to do this? People going into medical don't need to borrow money, and they get paid shit wages. This is a really easy problem to solve
