Perfect example of the interest of the NATION as a whole being sacrificed for financial interest a very very few. How is this much better than 🙁 the communism or fascism or dictatorship? We think we have ‘democratic’ govt but what we really have is a dictatorship by a few powerful corporations.
Private insurance only program doesn’t work because sick people add too much cost to the insurance business. And any good business knows it has to cut cost at all cost, hence not signing on people with preexisting conditions etc etc.
