Politically we can all see what's going on.

The Obamacare Plan was always just to plant a flag in the ground.

Any tinkering with the current status quo is now seen as risky and endangering lives. If it costs more, can't do it. If less people are covered, can't do it.

I still think there's more to be said about the remaining two phases of this plan. Obamacare is crumbling, might as well do something.

Obamacare can get fucked. I'm supporting Medicare for all or bust.

I'd support universal healthcare, but we need other policies as well to ensure its success.

If you're a 64-year old making just $26,500 a year, then your premium will go up from $1,700 to $14,600 by 2026. Doesn't leave much for food... or paying those deductibles off before you can even benefit from your insurance.

The problem I see with you guys implementing universal healthcare is making it a legit and non corrupt program. There are so many hands in the healthcare jar already, I just couldn't trust the US gov running such an important operation like that .

Both parties would be trying to sabotage it to get a ride on their corporate sponsors dick, that's for sure. Doesn't mean we shouldn't try.
