Medicare sucks and everyone over 65 knows it but for some reason some Democrats pretend it is over the moon.

Do we really want to go back to the bad old days when older people were simply left to die from easily treatable medical conditions?

Thank goodness that fever killed grandma so quickly, that's one less mouth to feed!

There's a reason things like Medicare and Social Security exist.

I do think there's a lot of inappropriate and overly expensive medical care going on in the U.S.A..

Often some generic prescription that costs a few dollars a month in most of the world is safer and more effective than anything advertised on television.

Too many people think health care in the U.S.A. is the best in the world, especially for people who have money or "Platinum" level insurance. It's not.

If I was Emperor of Earth I'd nationalize health care in the U.S.A. and probably throw a few billionaires and near-billionaires of the industry into my dungeons just for the hell of it.

Since I'm not Emperor (not that you'd know...) I'd support The U.S.A. remodeling its healthcare system after any other nation that has implemented a functional universal health care system. There are quite a few.
