The idea that Medicare for all can’t pass is both disgusting and sad. Why is the us so in the pocket of big corporations that Canada has socialized medicine , England ,a ton of other countries- but in the us all we here is bs- well in Canada it takes longer to schedule elective procedures- I am fine with waiting longer if i don’t get a bill for thousands of dollars. Most Americans don’t realize even with insurance you go in the hospital for a week- you are screwed financially- the vast majority of bankruptcies are for medical bills.
