Tell me again why the US doesn't need universal healthcare:

But we don't need socialized healthcare

1. Because greed, corruption, and war are the most important things in life?

[Jerry2144]

2. It prevents billionaires from becoming trillionaires

[MustLoveBeagles]

3. That makes me angry

This hero didn't have to die!

[Mad_Machine76]

4. Because.....um......something, something socialism?

But since we've never tried it, I don't see why we can't just do something else instead of insanely sticking with the insane capitalism-on-steroids approach to healthcare.

5. Disgusting beyond belief

The right in the US claim Canada has death panels. No, no death panels here. They're all in the US, under the auspices of the insurance industry.

[Beartracks]

11. Right? The claims of death panels, bean counters, and people coming between you and your doctor...

... are supposedly the reasons NOT to pursue nationalized or universal healthcare -- but weirdly, those reasons directly, accurately, and obviously describes the for-profit system we currently DO have!

12. Exactly

What is happening in the US insurance industry, they project (intentionally) onto universal health care. If my dr states I need a procedure, or to go to a specific specialist, I am not denied.

I've been listening to this podcast, there are a number of doctors, including the channel's owner, who moved to Canada from the US. It's interesting to hear about it from a dr's perspective as well.

6. Only 32 of the 33 richest countries

Have figured out how to provide universal healthcare.

[Emile]

7. If a candidate is against Universal Healthcare

that's where I draw my line.

The old question comes to mind, Which Side Are You On?

[BaronChocula]

8. "BECAUSE MY TAX DOLLARS ARE GONNA BE PAYING FOR SOME LAZY BASTARD

WARBLEDEEDOO COMMUNISM BLURP BLURP SOCIALIST DERP DEE DERP SOMETHING I HEARD ON NEWSMAX! BIDEN BLAR BIDDY BLARB!"

I think a few of those dopes are actually coming around as their lot gets sicker and sicker with no relief.

[IronLionZion]

9. Insurance companies make more profit if we die faster

There's profit to be made in not paying for treatment.

[struggle4progress]

10. "The lower class should die so the upper class can become trillionaires"

[C Moon]

13. Grrrrrrr

[Morbius]

14. Because we the people don't want it badly enough to stop fighting each other. n/t

15. Thank you, Democrats, ACA, pre-existing conditions -- miracle Republicans haven't destroyed it yet.

The only thing in the way of universal health care is the Republican Party.
