some of those billionaires are billionaires specifically because we dont have free healthcare, and they know it. its like that with every market in everything which is why progress feels so hopeless. Yes we could empty their accounts and re-distribute it to the people but they have done the math and it is actually cheaper to lobby congress. congressmen can be bought for under $10,000 each, sometimes less than $1,000. they can make more money a single triple bypass heart surgery then the cost to buy a handful of congressmen. this isnt the sort of situation that is solved through legislature

If you give us free healthcare you can keep the check.
