    Save your bullshit.

    Someone didn’t hurt ME. Someone prioritized profits over saving 70,000 lives a year in the United States alone.

    We estimated that on an annual basis, universal coverage would save the lives of 68,531 Americans.

    Someone (literally anyone who financially benefits from private healthcare) hurt every single person in the United States by killing roughly 68,531 of their countrymen needlessly.

    I shouldn’t say it’s all bad: Healthcare is what ripped the mask off of our society once and for all, proving beyond a shadow of a doubt that a society built on the fiction of free market capitalism is one that at its foundation, relies on the death and suffering of millions to sustain itself.
