Millions of people will be getting sick in the future. Now, with the current system they are not getting treatment. In the future they will simply go bankrupt and die unless something changes where ALL AMERICANS GET QUALITY HEALTHCARE. It is not "how much it costs" at all. We need to treat the sick Americans. Period.

How much it costs does matter but keeping them alive matters 100 times more.


I think this is the best argument for M4A. It’s not the one Sanders or Warren are making. That’s the problem. If you want to say M4A even if everyone’s taxes go up because it’s so important, then I think that position has merit.

But saying it can be done without such costs being shown is a problem. I wish the argument would be over what you say vs what Warren and Sanders say.
If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for:
Joe Biden
