So... Healthcare is a privilege now???? Wow

@Kuronekko: It's certainly not a privilege for "developed" nations. The U.S is the only one that sees it that way. We pay the second most and get the least in return.
Because America! And because Freedom!

@Ynotisay:
And by expanding government funded healthcare to everyone will decrease that cost? Or increase your return?

@Ynotisay: The US is run like a business, not to serve it's people.

@Ax17x7: Of course it will decrease the cost. That's what happens when you eliminate a profit recipient like the health insurance industry. And it's not about what it will do for me. It's about what it will do for everyone. THAT benefits me. And yeah...the return will be much greater if the money we already pay in taxes is reallocated from areas such as the military, unnecessary corporate subsidies(in conjunction with closing the countless tax loopholes most can't access and demanding that the very wealthiest pay a commiserate percentage as everyone else), to a single payer system.

And let's face it. We already get the least in return for our dollar now. Not really too far to fall, is there?
