I'm amazed no one has mentioned the drug companies and insurance companies spending over two million dollars A DAY to lobby congress and to pump out propaganda against universal coverage.
The US spends more on health care than any country on the planet yet we are 30th in life expectancy and republicans see nothing wrong with this picture. One of the huge reasons healthcare is more here is the drug companies charge up to 5x more for drugs here than anywhere else, other countries have put a cap on what drug companies can charge, whereas the US does nothing. Its all about money and profits at the expense of peoples lives and republicans fight tooth and nail to keep the corruption going. Anyone that defends the right wing bullshit is either getting rich from health care or a complete fucking retard that should be banned from voting.
