A Gallup poll released this week but conducted before the killing of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson, found that most Americans, 62%, think it is the responsibility of the federal government to make sure that all Americans have health care coverage. A minority, 36%, said it’s not the government’s responsibility.
I’ll add this: There are millions of Americans employed in the insurance and medical fields who are afraid they won’t have a job under universal health care.
Upton Sinclair — ‘It is difficult to get a man to understand something, when his salary depends on his not understanding it.’
It’s less than 1% of the nation. And frankly, fuck them. If we add a point to unemployment by helping out the rest of America, so be it.
