Hey Americans: Why are y'all against free healthcare?
Why are you happy for your taxes to go to firemen and police and roads but when it comes to universal healthcare you can't stand the idea of putting money in the pot?

My friend got in a head-on collision with a crack head. She lost her job, her livelihood, her insurance.
She struggled to manage a pretty basic health problem with no income and no insurance. She went thousands and thousands in debt from ER visits. She could find no agency to help her out.
BOOM. She ends up with congestive heart failure. BOOM. Medicaid. BOOM. Everything is covered.
Except now instead of costing a few hundred bucks a year she's into Medicaid for thousands and thousands. And will cost tens of thousands more.
THIS HERE is what is wrong with our medical system. And I see this again and again. Especially with poor people with chronic conditions like diabetes.
