7. Health insurance is a racket but we're trapped by trade deals in it.

Maybe a million people have died unnecessarily, but how could we hope to export our "successful" system to the rest of the world if we gave our own people a sweetheart deal?

So this is one area where both parties agree. Let the poor die rather than fix the system by moving the 2/3 of every health care dollar the government already spends to make it pay for free high quality healthcare for everybody, which likely WOULD be possible without spending any more money, because the current system is so inefficient.
