    A minority? Howso? Does that mean most people are uninsured? Or just that the majority of insurance payments go to less than 50% of people? Or…?

    Just hadn’t heard that one before, so curious about details.

        Medicare only exists to cover the most expensive patients who require the most care, so that we can support a massive private insurance industry, and to ensure that industry remains profitable.

        Anyone who denies that this system exists to explicitly elevate one class of people over another whom are exploited is living in a fantasy world
