lagonegirl:We paid $2.1 trillion in taxes to fund health care - $6,560 per person. That’s more per capita than Canadians or people in any other nation pay. Indeed, our tax-financed health-care bill is higher than total health spending (private as well as public) in any other nation.A national single-payer plan would give all Americans the first-dollar coverage enjoyed by Canadians and Brits, and guarantee them a free choice of doctors and hospitals - a choice that private insurers currently deny to many of us.Surprisingly, American taxpayers already pay enough to fund national health insurance. We just don’t get it.sourceRead this. Inconvenient truth. We don’t have universal healthcare because insurance companies don’t want it. To those trying to slander Bernie plan as unrealistic, but few know that the plan is more than real. Of course corporations funding candidates such as Hillary will insist their position. But we need to elect a president who gonna care of people.#Bernie #FeelTheBern -- source link
