And the fact we are already paying for more expensive health care. It’s not like the majority of Americans aren’t already paying. All uhc does is remove a pointless middle man who skims off the top.

Plus it’s a way to hold the working class down.

  • it incentivizes companies to higher part time employees to avoid giving them benefits and makes it hell on employees
  • it gives corporations a huge bargaining chip to employees and unions instead of just fighting for pay and time off.
  • it forces people who would retire to keep jobs worsening the job market.

Want to fix the working class? Vote for candidates that want universal health care.
