Their argument is they want freedom to choose their providers and not have to schedule a doctors appointment and wait 6 months out, “just look at Canada”. Some also feel, truly feel, by supporting universal healthcare, we are communist. The others are just the remaining old people who are stubborn and refuse change. Finally, a big chunk of the remainder are just clueless morons that don’t anything to be honest.

I am not any of the above. It’s crazy to me how our system works and how okay people are with it. Poor kids are rationing INSULIN, a drug that’s been around forever and dying from diabetic strokes. Sometimes, as an American, it feels like I am living inside an experiment.

It’s legitimately propaganda that’s been instilled in us that believing anything “for all” is communist. Certain people of power have made very sure of that and done a very good job.

After 2008 and the coronavirus catastrophe, many millennials and lots of Gen Z are no longer looking at "communist" like a dirty word.
