Change in this country is always too slow, the powers that be won't allow change because it implies they have to change which costs them profits and expenses, I understand that, but we either stop wearing flags on our lapel and stop saying "this is the best country in the World", which we know its not, or we go ahead and embrace radical change.
It will require adaptation, but radical change must come, and making education free for all is only going to help us grow as a country and maybe in a few years we will have earned the right to say that in fact "the USA is the best country in the world".
Medicare for all is going to allow us to become a healthier country, a more productive and progressive country because with a Medicare for all will come preventive medicine and better food control, maybe we can stop eliminating some of the processed food that is killing so many people by making them sick. Things must change and they must change fast, any candidate who believes it can't be done should not be running for office, any candidate who believes that people love their insurance should go around and ask more (maybe that person is asking people in the Senate, and sure they love it because they don't pay for it), anyone who is not willing to give it their all to change the way things are should not be considered. If we allow the status quo to remain we can kiss our country and the World goodbye, we are at a milestone historically, we need radical change.
Slow change is not going to get us anywhere. Obama tried to implement a better healthcare system than what he got, and now we have republicans trying to destroy it, well they wanted to destroy it form the start, but now there are lawsuits waiting in the courts to screw what little we gained.
It must be an all or nothing because the slow implementation will only feed lawyers, politicians and the ignorant.
I am sure all the intelligent people at DU have noticed that one of the constant efforts republicans have had throughout the years is to weaken education, republicans do not want people who can think for themselves (I love my uneducated - D. J. trump), they understand they can be manipulated easily, that is why education must be strengthened and made free, then republicans will never win an election, unless they change...good luck with that.
