That is a terrible argument for a massive governmental policy and economy shift “Well we haven’t tried it fully…let’s see what happens”

Well we spend more than any other developed country on healthcare and we are the only ones that use the horrible system we have. I think it’s a fine argument here. To continue on with what we have is cruel and only benefits the obscenely wealthy.
