So very tired of the message America can't have a health care system

like the rest of the civilized world can. We can't afford it or we will lose elections if we try . Maybe we need someone not in or no longer in politics to come up with solutions to point out exactly where the people's tax money is going. To point out the obscene waste and graft the military spends our money on . The billions spent on corporate welfare . The trillions given to our supposed allies who's leaders keep the bulk of that spending for themselves while pissing in America's corn flakes every chance they get. Billions spent on grants to universities to research and develop drugs and medical devices only to have drug corporations take that and sell it back to us at astronomical prices . The money is fucking there to do healthcare but the desire is not because too many feathers will get ruffled . Medicare was designed to morph into a national healthcare system but money and influence derailed that so the insurance industry could get in on it somehow that's why only 80% is covered and you have to spend even more on drug coverage. People need to know these things and maybe if they did more would demand what they deserve.
