      The US already overall spends more than enough on healthcare, to fund universal care for everyone. But that fat inflated money pool, needs to pay for a ton of wasteful expenses that have nothing to do with healthcare (billing, insurance sales, people who bounce documents and phone calls back & forth to the insurance companies; and of course profit extraction).

      Tax the rich to pay for infrastructure, green energy projects, UBI or other help to the poorest & working poor …heck even throwing billions at fusion energy research, will create a lot more economic activity and be money better spent; than letting the psychopathic wealth hording dragons keep their missions of gold.

      Don’t think they have anything against it, their point seemed more like. “If they wanted to implement healthcare, they aren’t being stopped by not taxing them rn”
