Coronavirus (COVID-19)

So basically you're saying we can't have it here because it's too hard. Too expensive. You know how long the UK has had the NHS? 1948. We can have it here if we want it, but as long as the insurance companies and the greedy executives the run the hospitals can convince you it is impossible and it is doomed we won't get it.

Insurance companies won't have it in this country. That I agree with that, they'll sue, hell they'll probably try to assassinate a president who tries to shove the insurance companies out. As long as we believe we can't have it, we won't. Remember when the Affordable Care Act was passed and Fox News was saying there will be death panels? They used that, successfully, to convince their audience which is an older audience that "Obamacare" was bad. Likewise, the websites that failed didn't help either.

Since I have to go to work, here's the thing. Out problem is our politicians are bought out. Our elected officials are corrupt.

Blaming people as if their lifestyle choices are the problem is absolute nonsense. A lot of otherwise healthy people get sick with all sorts of issues, more so than the fat people. My mom for instance, has a brain tumor, was found in 1992. Surely you don't think one too many twinkies caused that? I don't imagine the UK being tremendously different than the US when it comes to people overall, so if they can do it, we can do it. Having universal healthcare would fix a lot of the problems that are bankrupting hospitals and people when they get their medical bills, the current system doesn't work.
