10. Don't copy entire article in your post body

I don't see why this is so outrageous. Why should someone with tens or hundreds of thousands of dollars worth of assets receive free medical care?
Because we pay taxes our entire fucking lives to still have EXTRA stolen from us for "healthcare."
EVERY OTHER MAJOR DEVELOPED COUNTRY HAS SINGLE PAYER.
Why are you people so fucking shortsighted and fucking selfish? You're enabling the Republican thieves to bleed us dry because you aspire to be as greedy as they are. Absolutely insane.
It's doesn't matter your wealth, healthcare should be free.
But it's currently isn't
Ideally because everyone should receive free healthcare. Everyone.
I can't argue that the way the US provides many services based off wealth is fair - I believe we should have a universal system that we all benefit from. Why should someone making less than me get better services than me because my job offers worse insurance than they get? We should all benefit.
But, if the choice is that no one benefits or that of our current system. I'll choose our current system. Because I don't know if I'll be the one on the other side 40 years from now.
Just playing devil’s advocate here… Medicaid doesn’t take your house until after you die. Not saying I think it’s a good practice
We should all receive free health care at the point of care
The problem is that with all of these efforts to take houses to pay for the card, it only covers 1% of the cost. Is it really worth it at that point? Is it worth it to take homes that could benefit families who could otherwise not be able to obtain a home?
