The fact that I’m surprised by the audience’s reaction means this country has been and is beyond saving

This is a bit surprising, but free healthcare is pretty popular even among Republicans. It's one of the strongest examples of issues where it's literally just the politicians refusing to do a popular thing.

Every time I think about free health care, I think about how much of a pipe dream it really is. Each year at open enrollment, you can clearly see all of the different industries that are propping this shit up AS WELL AS the many different shadowy consultant-type positions branching out from the pharmaceutical, insurance and care industry. We are so fucking cooked

I'm very much convinced that the world would be a better place if every single pharmacy benefit manager dropped off the face of the earth somehow.
