Ok, I thought you were poor, but my post is good regardless. I re-read your post. If you're not poor, then what you are is looney tunes. Even if you're ignoring all the dirt that is coming up for your candidate, what it means is she can't take office. Second, if you're not poor, then your insurance premiums were jacked up.
Who says because I'm not on welfare and not on food stamps that I'm not poor? The worst demographic economically in this country is the person like me who just barely doesn't qualify for those programs. I am the working poor. The vast majority of what used to be called 'the middle class'. You may remember "the middle class"?
Single payer or its equivalent will cure a 1,000 ills...from relieving small businesses & large, to spurring the economy. The only ones who will hate it are the people making bank on making and keeping people sick, charging 10,000% markups at hospitals and causing most of our nation's bankruptcies from common medical misfortunes that every family will face at one time or another.
Hillary is the only one of the two candidates who will force single payer on the country...with caddy opt-outs for those wanting their own premium private healthcare. And I'll clue you in on a little secret. The GOP knows the economic situation mandates single payer...we cannot afford to go on the way we have even five more years. So, they're probably more than a little happy to have Hillary "force" it upon them and "reluctantly" agree so they don't have to face the heat from their sugar daddy healthcare lobbiests & strongmen. They can point the finger of "blame" at Hillary and the dems. But they want it as bad as the dems do. They're just way too backed in a corner to be able to admit it.
I see that Colorado and California are jumping on my idea of adding taxes to tobacco (also I urged booze & sugared products, sundries) to provide healthcare for the poor in their borders. Smart move. They're already stuffing the idea down the nation's reluctant throat. A small co-pay at regular checkups to discourage hypochondriacs, and pay for base costs and you've got a program that will work and that will pay for itself.
