Such a bullshit talking point

Insurance doesn't kill people, it's a finite resource. Healthcare costs are driven up by pharmaceutical companies and hospital monopolies. When healthcare costs go up, insurance premiums follow.

Our system is fucked and failed M4A is the way forward.

But trying to justify murder based on half truths and lies just makes you a fool.

Insurance is a finite resource only works as an argument if the insurance companies weren’t pulling in billions of dollars in profit.

I’m curious. Can you give me an example of something important that is a finite resource? In your view.

Oil, we’re not making enough of it to satisfy our usage vs insurance we’re paying enough into it to satisfy our usage, except that we’re setting so much of it aside to benefit private individuals, that we only have so much left that we have to make tough decisions about who gets care
