I’ve never understood why America doesn’t have a decent health care system. And then America voted for Trump, and everyone appears shocked at what he has done…

There is something very wrong with American attitudes.

We are still waiting for our Otto Von Bismarck or William Beveridge. Each company and guild in the medical-industrial complex resists reform. They're fundamentally businesses that provide healthcare, not services for all Americans. Any attempt to rationalize the system is decried as "socialism."
