Under trump and the nut-job repthugnican't governor, 46,000 more Tennesseans were without health insurance last year as the state suffered one of the nation's largest increases in uninsured residents.

60% of SMALL BUSINESS OWNERS WERE POLLED! They support Medicare for All. For the TRUE REPUBLICANS, that will send shockwaves through their community! I belonged to the NATIONAL FEDERATION OF INDEPENDENT BUSINESS OWNERS my first few years in business--the EARLY 90s. They sent a long questionnaire on healthcare insurance subject. I was at odds with an obviously slant as to how to answer the questions. They were AGAINST EMPLOYER PROVIDED HEALTH INSURANCE for small businesses, as it is onerous as hell! I got it, I get it. But I also stopped paying dues to the NFIB after that and some other obvious REPUBLICAN stances on how they wanted ME to conduct my business.
30years the LATER, the fucking genius capitalist class still hasn't figured it out. Why the hell not?

Healthcare is already pretty much being rationed. Blue Cross wants you to video teleconference with a doctor instead of going to one when you are sick. Nurse practitioners are replacing full-fledged doctors. The shortage of RN's isn't getting any better. There should be a stipend on top of free college for those majoring in a health related field of need.

I don't know why not. I just not that Universal anything is bad for everyone.
I will say that I'd be open to what the Swiss are doing, but only if it were to lead to less government control;aAnd of course, the only way to do that is to move government from massive tax and spend to massive fiscal responsibility.
Free speech is cool as long as it jibes with our program.

Tenn. is among the states that have a terrible opioid problem. There should be a lot more healthcare and rehab. Mitch is doing the same thing to Kentucky. Will we ever grow up and fix our problems?

You work and pay taxes. If we had universal healthcare your taxes would pay for it. Therefore you are still paying. However, you don't have to battle an insurance company to get your care. Universal healthcare cost half what ours does and takes the cost off corporations and workers backs.
It is so much more civilized to remove an adversarial system and replace it with one that treats us with respect like Medicare does.
It is not the government’s responsibility to raise the insured rate for any state.
We have freedom in America and if you are 21 years old and healthy, you have the freedom to self-insure.
