The happiest countries have universal healthcare,unemployment benefits, free college, reproductive rights and maternity leave. The rich pay taxes.
They don't have mass shootings, Citizens United or Donald Trump.

People rarely talk about this but the reason why countries have universal healthcare is because the powers that be understand that for society to work people have to work so when we or our family get sick it’s important to get us back to health. Harsh but true. It’s the same reason why European countries try to find a balance between work and paid days off. A stressed out worker who ends up crashing is no good in the long run.
Which is why it makes no sense that the US doesn’t have universal healthcare. I had no idea how overworked you guys are until I started watching videos were American’s abroad are baffled by “how little” they are expected to work. Some like it, some miss the grind, but they’re all like “Wtf? Why am I not even allowed to work extra hours?”
Universal healthcare just seems like the logical cynical choice for a society that expects its people to work so much, ya know?

Remove health care from your employer. Abolish the idea of medical debt. Give everyone the freedom to change jobs and retain all health care benefits.
Remove the burden on small businesses to provide health insurance.

Can’t emphasize enough how many more wins like this we would’ve had with a Bernie presidency

No one should have to get divorced to pay medical bills. The American healthcare system was not made to help sick American's. It was made so big pharma CEOs could get rich. America needs universal healthcare.
