Universal Health Care:
"Universal health care, sometimes referred to as universal health coverage, universal coverage, or universal care, usually refers to a health care system that provides health care and financial protection to all citizens of a particular country. It is organized around providing a specified package of benefits to all members of a society with the end goal of providing financial risk protection, improved access to health services, and improved health outcomes. Universal health care is not one-size-fits-all and does not imply coverage for all people for everything. Universal health care can be determined by three critical dimensions: who is covered, what services are covered, and how much of the cost is covered. It is described by the World Health Organization as a situation where citizens can access health services without incurring financial hardship. U.N. member states have agreed to work toward universal health coverage by 2030." - Wikipedia

| As of 2009, 58 countries have legislation mandating universal health care and have actually reached >90% health insurance coverage and >90% skilled birth attendance. |
The cost and spending on Health Care:
It is hard to argue with the numbers.
The U.S. spends MORE than any other nation and we get Trumpcare.
Here's another argument:
- $200 billion tax cut!
- $2.2 trillion saved by NOT needing private heath care!
Of course the reason we are not getting Universal Health Care is item #2.
It would be a $2.2 trillion loss to health insurance industry (aka extortionists). And they have bought the loyalty of politicians.
Reminder: Health care PROVIDERS (doctors, hospitals, HMOs, etc) would not loose money, they will get more with 100% coverage. The health insurance industry are middle-men.
We don't get a less costly Universal Health Care because of GREED!
Don't believe the lies, especially by the Republican Party.
