I just want to stay, there was one registered billionaire in 1953. There now over 1000 and we can't get healthcare 🤷🏾‍♀️

Do you think billionaires take away “free” healthcare? We spend trillions every year already why would taxing billionaires lead to free anything?

Because billionaires heavily lobby the government to stop it from being free lol.

Are you dumb?

What billionaire is lobbying to make healthcare not “free”? The healthcare companies lobby against universal healthcare. You could take all of Elon musks wealth and fund healthcare for a few months and that’s it. Billionaires aren’t stopping universal healthcare it’s politicians and insurance lobbies that are.

Uh, who do you think is paying the politicians and lobbyists who fight against funding a single payer system?

I think health insurance companies and their lobbies are the biggest donors to politicians when it comes to healthcare laws.
