    $1 trillion is how much m4a would save annually, along with 114,000 American lives. Also annually.

    We’re paying a trillion a year to kill 114,000 Americans, and neither party thinks that’s bad enough.

      That brought up an angry memory when Obamacare was first being debated. They were floating the idea of universal healthcare and the Republican propaganda machine came out in full force. There was something on Fox News that said something like “a study by the Congressional Budget Office shows over the next decade, universal healthcare would cost $7 trillion”.

      But then neglected to mention the same survey showed NOT implementing universal healthcare would cost something like $17 trillion. Fucking scumbags.

        Obamacare is conservative legislation (RomneyCare) and preserves insurance corporations position in the Healthcare system.

        Making small adjustments to the orphancrushingmachine and calling it a win is shameful. If democrats cared, every blue state they control would have their own version of universal Healthcare.
