I agree with you, but hooooo boy, you probably just opened a can of worms. Most Americans want better/universal healthcare, but the healthcare industry is for-profit and they use their billions to convince the gullible that that's communism, which we've all been raised to believe is bad, m'kay?
They bribe our politicians & scare the less-educated among us into thinking anything that helps all people is automatically corrupt & bad. It's happening in real time. The destruction of our public institutions is being bankrolled in part by companies & billionaires whose profits are most at risk.
