  1. I have lived in other countries where healthcare is not a for profit industry. We should be talking about joining the rest of the world and paying for healthcare with taxes. Our taxes pay for necessary infrastructure and services. Roads, bridges, police and firefightes, schools, the postal service. Basic healthcare is a societally necessary service. In the US we spend twice as much per capita on healthcare as the next nation and we come dead last in results among the 11 wealthiest nations and 17th in general. Why? Because most of our healthcare dollars don't go for healthcare, they go to insurance companies, third parties and huge profits. How is this still the way we allow things to be? How much suffering are we willing to endure in the name of unfettered capitalism and "freedom?". Other countries practice capitalism but do so with far more protections. When will we join the rest of the developed and sane world?
