way down, I start thinking to myself "this must have been posted by a Biden supporter", then I scroll down and I see Biden's picture corroborating my suspicion.

DISCLAIMER: If Biden becomes the nominee, I WILL SUPPORT HIM. THIS IS NOT AN ANTI-BIDEN opinion, its a PRO-HEALTHCARE-FOR-ALL opinion.

We, as citizens need to think, expect, demand, whatever you want to call it "healthcare for all", why do we have to settle for less? The meme that republicans and the healthcare industry have put out that "people love their current health insurance" is just that, a meme trying to sway public opinion.

Many countries in the World have had universal healthcare for its citizens for years, there is no reason, besides the insurance and medical industry push-back, that the USA cannot have the same and work great for all its citizens.

I wish this kind of articles would not pop-up now and then for the simple reason to support a candidate's antiquated and negative view on something that should have been implemented a long time ago. We all benefit from universal healthcare, whether you call it "Medicare for All", or "Obamacare", or whatever. We need to support it, and not support the opposite just because the candidate we like won't support it, lets make our preferred candidate understand that we do want universal healthcare, have him/her change his/her tune on the subject, not the other way around.

If I were to vote in a presidential
