    Defense Budget: $738 billion 💵 NIH budget: $40 billion 💵 CDC budget: $10 billion This pandemic makes it clear that we need to change our spending priorities. Here's an idea: Stop spending billions on tanks, fighter jets, and bombs and invest that money in public health. Ro Khanna

    I like the idea of universal health care, but our government in the states is so dysfunctional there will be tremendous problems with getting medical care. I hear Canadians saying they have very long wait times to see a doctor. Doctors would be paid less and we'd have less people in medical schools.

    Because their doctors are cheap?

    USA 🇺🇸 has a right to own guns but not free healthcare. Makes sense. 😜

    That's all fine and dandy but did you notice the ages? 24, 29 and 49 with no previous health issues. Do you really think people with severe health issues or people who are in their 70's and up will get any priority over the young? It's like insurance. If you have preexisting health issues or are a certain age it is very hard to get insurance and in some cases you are refused insurance all together.

    There is free health care but it's in China and regardless of the status quo of the individual covid-19 patient, all are given equal treatment and care. And that is something no country in the west can even close to matching.

    Yet if you need anything major, you will come back here to get it done. Ask yourself why you think that is...

    Pretty much every first world country in the world except the 'free' USA. how can you claim to be free but not have universal healthcare?
