Quote from piezoe:
Which position is more radical: 1) Borrowing trillions to spend on armaments and wars; 2) Borrowing a trillion to spend on health care?
12 million people and we need to spend 1 trillion?
How about we just give em each 1 million for their health care expenses to cover the next 10 years at a whopping cost of 12 million? Rinse and repeat each 10 years.
The answer is because this isn't about insuring those who want it but can't afford it.
