I really don’t understand the opposition from people about universal healthcare. I know it’s not perfect, but it’s certainly better than the shit we have now - Universal healthcare but only for old people. That in itself is just so inefficient. It’s literally the worst of both worlds. The government pays inflated prices for healthcare (only for old people). Why not just pay reduced prices for everyone? I don’t know anyone who thinks our current system is working. I pay almost 20% of my income for insurance that can tell my doctor “no, he actually doesn’t need that thing you the doctor said he needs. I always hear people say “well the wait times with universal healthcare would be outrageous!” Idk about you, I’m ok with waiting a little longer if it means not being held hostage by insurance companies more worried about profit than patients.

Because the united states has fought a cultural war against socialism/communism since the 60s, and creating a half assed system like our current social services serves to further that goal ( "look how ineffective the government is, thank god for private companies and capitalism) People got so mind broke by the cold war, we are still suffering today

Well, tbf, this is like the only socialist thing I support lol. Because the system we have now is not capitalist at all. It’s corporatist or cronyism or some other term you probably know lol.
