When asked, "how do we pay for it?" The correct answer is "the same we we pay for everything. Congress appropriates the money." Does not involve taxing. Does not involve cutting anything. Once you realize how the federal govt spends (by issuing dollars), the real conclusion is more painful: you do not have universal healthcare because powerful interests don't want you to have it.

Nope. Michigan taxpayers are paying for people that can't afford kids. So we keep giving them money. Seniors are ignored.

You're paying a lot more for corporate subsidies than for hungry kids.

This is an old article, I'm sure you pay even more now for corporate subsidies.

Universal healthcare.

It would save over 45,000 lives AND billions of dollars per year.

We're collectively being ripped off by private healthcare.

Do you own stocks?Do you agree Congress shouldn’t invest in stocks? Do you believe in equal rights and equal pay for women?

They don't want to save lives or money. Those in power want to put that money in individual pockets, not spread out to everyone.
