The only complaint you see is at Republican rallies where old ladies are holding up signs saying, "Government, keep your hands off my Medicare!"

So why not expand that to the entire US population? Everyone pays say $50/month, gets a health care card, and free access to all the health care they need. All of a sudden, everyone from say 16 - 54 years old is paying $50/month into system, which will drastically reduce the liquidity problems Medicare currently has. An average 21yo only needs medical attention once a year, if that.

But nah, fuck all that. The Republicans want to make teaches the scapegoats instead, and try to cut their salaries. I don't quite have the words to describe how moronic that is.
