One thing about the United States is the state of the healthcare system should be a bipartisan scandal.
The thing is, it's not as if the government isn't spending enough money. Per capita public spending on health Care in the United States is comparable to countries with single-payer healthcare such as Canada or the United Kingdom. In other words, American taxpayers are already paying enough for universal health care, and yet they're getting nothing.
The fact that the healthcare industry can have it both ways shows that it doesn't matter who's in charge at the moment, the healthcare system is a corporate health Care system not a people healthcare system. And it really doesn't matter if you're on the left or the right, that should be such a damning indictment of both sides of the political spectrum for letting this continue that it should almost be disqualifying for everyone involved.
