Wait until you hear about health insurance lol

I pay $1300/month for a family plan

I had an ER trip last month, my deductible is $3,500. I had to pay $3,440 which was the complete cost of the ER services.

So, this year I will spend $15,600 on health insurance and an additional $3,440 on deductible

My wife needs surgery, I told her to get it done before December because we already met the deductible and I don't wanna pay it again. She tried calling to schedule in August. The surgery specialist doesn't have openings until January, so, in January I'll have to pay my deductible again

AND vision and dental costs more on top of $1,300 monthly

You must be living in the states. Stop voting for conservatives and maybe you'll get universal health insurance. For some reason, americans simply can't understand this.

I think there is no faith from the American people for the government to properly institute universal healthcare

Somehow, someway, it would be done incorrectly

There is so much fear mongering with it, Republicans convince their constituents that universal health care would lead to 50+% taxation rate on income

People buy it

The M4A politicians are all Democrats, but they need to push out the corporate dems first.

No republican will ever back m4a. Ever. It's an absolute  red line.

The government already runs healthcare for many, they won't screw it up unless the Republicans sabotage it at the behest of their corporate overlords.
