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?

What kind of healthcare do you imagine? I'm certainly not a fan of American style but when the Canadian system fails Canadians have been known to go to the US for treatment.

@hippyjoe1955 I would like to use healthcare for many things but one of the ideas I would push on if to use a chunk of it a very good chunk of it to any human trafficking by offering victims good Human Services and free access for therapy

@1930sfan Yeah I don't quite get your connection between human trafficking and healthcare. Most mental health care is worse than the disease.

@hippyjoe1955 sorry for my spelling I do have autism and it shows sometimes what I'm trying to say is I would use Healthcare to try to end human trafficking

@1930sfan OK I can agree with ending human trafficking. Not sure how that can be done so long as people want to enslave others they will.
