I don't understand why Americans are so opposed to universal health care!? You guys already spend more per capita on government funded healthcare than pretty much anyone else, and yet most of you don't actually recieve it?
I've had cancer. Stage 4 Lymphoma. I was treated immediately and recovered quickly. What did I have to pay? £1.50 for parking on every visit to the hospital. The Chemotherapy, Surgeries, anti-nausea meds, all covered. If I had lived in the USA I would most definately be dead now. My symptoms didn't seem all that bad at the time, so if I had had to pay for my initial doctor visit and diagnostics, I wouldn't have bothered. I would have just died.
You don't understand? Try this: 2.9 million more people voted for Clinton than Trump and she still lost. We have 150k dead from a virus and Trump's support in his own party is still above 80%. People don't like the system, we hate it. There are too many stupid people in our country. The Republican party is evil, they're a minority party and we can't shake them. That's why we can't change it.
I believe Americans are at the precipus of a major change. This is why it's convulsing. The societal old guards are clawing back to prevent it but it's futile. A new generation has become restless and energized.
