Adding $660,000,000,000 to the federal deficit annually and still not making a dent in people's healthcare costs?

A single-payer universal healthcare system would be cheaper, as almost every other country's systems show.

The real trick is to get private equity and for-profit corporations out of healthcare. All they do is drive up costs while lowering outcomes.

Healthcare should be a public service, funded by the government.

    Yeah, the US actually pays more PUBLIC funds per person than most other nations. Then the private cost on top - all for worse health outcomes.

    We need more Luigis just from a financial perspective.

    UNH, CVS, ELV and CI share holders disagree with you and thanks to the SCOTUS Citizen United decision they have to money and the legal framework to legally bribe politicians. I'll suggest to invest in those companies rather than flight them.

    I'm not contributing to evil companies. "If you can't beat them, join them" does not apply when they're responsible for hundreds of thousands of deaths a year and putting millions of people in poverty.

    People willing to do anything to get rich is precisely the problem in this country, and I'm not going to be a part of it.

    You're right about Citizens United, though. It should be revoked.
