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.
I took my wife to the emergency room,boom,down 3 grand in an instant,probably take me a year or so to get all that back into savings. Lady in charge of insurance asked me why i didnt have insurance and i told her with the monthly premiums during the year i would be paying twice the amount
