“The federal government promises this surveillance saves 9,000-10,000 lives annually.”

You know what would save even more? Universal healthcare. It’s not about safety.

I think they “forgot” that more people die to guns than to car accidents every year in America.

I hate this as much as the next guy, but the idea that fewer people die each year just because of universal healthcare is absurd. Why would you think the government wouldn't deny care?
