So why can't we have free health insurance? I know it's complicated. Just fix it. Aren't we smart enough to figure this out?

All the wasted money that is spent in this country on useless shit.

Maybe we should actually try to stay out of wars too. The best offense is a great defense.

I don't care how many jobs are effected by making a move to permanently remove "for profit" healthcare. Find another job. We need to take care of our own til the day we die.

Nevermind. It will never happen.
