Speaking of universal healthcare it doesn't make much sense to me that the same people who complain about it being a handout don't seem mind, or aren't aware, that they are paying higher premiums for healthcare coverage and higher fees at hospitals for services, to offset the cost of treating patients that can't pay. The folks who can afford to pay the high cost of healthcare are paying for the cost to treat folks who can't pay anyway.
What these dumb as a box of rocks Republicans don't realize is that we already have universal healthcare, just a really bad, really expensive version of it. Emergency room services are open to all, but those services are the most expensive, and so our system is twice as expensive as every other Western democracy.
Nice post by the way. You are the first poster I've seen who got it.
