Biden is quietly reversing Trump’s sabotage of Obamacare

Isn't all privatized healthcare junk healthcare? I mean, it's tied to an employer, you pay for coverage and depending on your plan, you still have to pay thousands of dollars before it really kicks in and then they still won't cover 100%, and insurance can still deny your surgery or procedure, and meds are still expensive as hell.

I got into a debate with a vet about socialized healthcare and I told him the military is a form of socialism with socialized healthcare. They get free meals if they eat at the dfac. Vets and dependents get free healthcare and basically free meds. It's all paid for by the military, which gets money from the government. They still have insurance, but it basically covers everything, even at civilian hospitals. Sure, you have to sign on and possibly go to war, but if/when you come back, you don't have to worry about healthcare.

It's definitely possible to do, since the US is the only first world country to not have it. We just refuse to do it because we care more about corporations than people.

Republicans hate change. They hate that they no longer run the show, though they're doing what they can to get that power back. They hate that the old white man doesn't have the strangling grip on society it once had. They hate that minorities and women have rights, though they're doing what they can to change that. They hate open boarders and people who feel more themselves as a member of the opposite sex. They hate what America was on the path of becoming, which was a place that truly welcomed any and all people.
