I agree on Universal Healthcare Nobody should have to go bankrupt due to medical bills. I just don't get why we have go all in on one size fits all.

I am luckier in finances than in medical needs. My income and insurance coverage are good enough that I am unlikely to go bankrupt over healthcare bills. I'd rather the government not try to fix a problem that I don't even have. Let's focus on the people who really need help first, then we can get to my own lesser problems later.
