So tomorrow (today for some of you) the Senate is going to be voting on debating the new health care bill. This bill is estimated by the Congressional Budget Office to displace close to 10% of the US population off of their health insurance. Not only that, but many of the Republican senators voting on this bill have not even read nor seen it because it was crafted in secrecy.

Partisan bullstuff aside, this is pretty much the worst idea ever. Obamacare has its flaws, and it failed to deliver all of its promises without raising premiums for certain Americans. But this new bill is provably, severely worse. Thousands of people will die in the immediate wake of this decision, if the bill passes. This is a fact of multiple estimates coming from independent, non-partisan brown townysts like the CBO.

If this is something you guys remotely care about, then call your senators and urge them to cut this stuff out.

it's not gonna happen lol, all of the big senators are against it

As it stands the vote tomorrow is to begin debate on it, but if that passes then it's a crucial step forward towards getting the entire system repealed.

there are too many people in the general public against it, it'd really hurt the politician to vote for it considering that many republicans even don't like this

Is there a single reason to oppose single-payer healthcare at this point? Just wondering.

I don't think this line of reasoning has worked in the past.

Is there a single reason to oppose single-payer healthcare at this point? Just wondering.

I mean there are valid complaints against national healthcare systems in other countries, but it's also been successfully applied in places like the UK, to great effect. I think we'd be in a better place if we modeled our healthcare after the NHS.

Alternatively, you have people who just want to let people die out of 'fairness' to rich people with the money to afford expensive medicine. Those people are literal human garbage.

This logic is also supposed to apply to corporations who wouldn't dare do anything to mislead or harm their consumers, because then the people would stop buying their products.

Turns out they don't care if they lose the public's respect because the people have little say in the matter regardless.

politicians literally just do what makes them look good by nature, i don't see why they would support this
