    Who do you think covers emergency bills that are jacked up to the hilt, but the person can’t pay? Our healthcare is broken.

    Edit: Do you think having healthcare tied to our work is a good idea or no? They’re going after medicaid, medicare and social security. What exactly are our taxes paying for then? The rich aren’t paying their fair share anyway.

      I believe accuracy is important, and that we need to normalize the term socialized medicine. I’m in complete agreement of the benefits to a single-payer system, as well as the need to end the corporate leeches on our medical system.

        socialized medicine

        Why would we use such a loaded word as socialized in front of medicine. Accuracy is obviously not important to Americans. We tell them it’s free and they’ll never figure out that it’s already in their taxes and we’re already paying for all of the people who go to the emergency room and can’t pay. We’re already subsidizing corporate healthcare.
