Question: Why don’t more Republicans push toward healthcare?

As all of you know, I consider myself to be a progressive—or a “deform” Republican. I believe in healthcare for many different reasons, but my main reasoning is this: I think healthcare can play an important role in ending human trafficking. By dedicating a significant portion of it to helping victims who’ve been trafficked, we could give them access to free human services and therapy.

I’m just kind of curious—Republicans, or even conservatives (though I’m not a conservative, I am a Republican)—why don’t more of you talk about this?

It also would likely reduce the number of shootings. When a brand new AR 15 and a box of ammo is cheaper than therapy people are going to be incentivized to shoot their problems instead of going to therapy.

@PicturesOfABetterTomorrow it could be that it's the therapy that leads to the shootings. To be clear, I'm talking about the meds that accompany the therapy

@Jayciedubb No it can't. That is a conspiracy theory that is easily debunked.

If it was connected to meds it would not be an exclusively American issue.

These meds are used globally.

@PicturesOfABetterTomorrow JFK's assassination is also a conspiracy theory, yet only fools believe the narrative the conspirators expected us all to believe.

You're going to have to do much better than that in order to debunk this theory
