    Why I think there is a deep-state conspiracy to demonize single-payer healthcare

    What if everything you thought about single payer was wrong? What if the reason we don't have it and there's so much opposition to it is not because of the greed of the insurance companies, corruption, or the influence of private interests at all? This is what most progressives believe is...

    So how would Republicans decide who lives and who dies?

    I keep seeing Republicans saying we can't afford healthcare for everyone. And we know emergency room care will bankrupt us. So who lives and who dies? And how do Republicans decide? A lottery? How?
