Smart people know this-the AR Republican toe-draggers, not so much since they don't teach intelligent reasoning in the home school program. That would make people actually question what they read and that doesn't fit into their world.

The Chamber of Commerce, those lyng friends of the GOTP faction, used that argument that a dollar spent on road construction turns over 6 times in the community, creating more jobs and helping the overall economy. The same applies to dollars spent on hospitals and doctors and drugs. And in the latter case. not helping cut down on the losses at the smaller hospitals from uninsured care might just be the thing that causes the hospitals to go under. You lose a hospital, you also lose the doctors in the community since they have no place to send patients. For all of those rural GOTP members, that is where you live and some people will die as they are too far from the major population centers with their hospitals that are also losing money. Yes, vote against Medicaid expansion because we are "christians" and we hate women and the poor and those of non-white color and even those who elected us because we are dumb asses!

It's that simple, that humane, that healthy and that much more affordable. And it will be damn good for all other productive business.

The savings from doing this should cut the overall GDP of US Health costs in at least half, ultimately more than half... while every human being walks into a medical facility in need of attention receives not one billing form or question, because no billing office, or insurance agent exists. England (for one of many examples) does this for under 3k per person per year. this rate paid on a progressive scale would be huge for the 99 percent.

As long as neoliberal government funds/subsidizes the beasts (insurance and drug dealers) while covering only the most expensive segments of society (low income, disabled, elderly) costs will remain far above the rest of the world while health stats remain at or below third world lines.

We are the only developed country who allows both controlling parties to deny us basic 20th century decency.
