Now, to the question posed by the thread, I don't want anyone in America, a land of plenty, to have their life devastated physically or financially because they got sick or hurt. I want healthcare for everyone to be a right that we guarantee as a nation, and not a business that we manipulate for a profit. Is there a reason that the United States is ranked 43rd in the world in life expectancy at birth, behind so many countries that guarantee universal healthcare for it's citizens?
