None of which I'm disputing. Yea, so its some left-leaning social media feed, so what?
The
"Study" has Bernie's support, so if you're far left learning, you'd probably support it just as wholeheartedly.
Anyways, I'm not far left leaning. I have my opinions, none of which I would I share much online.
But I do think that - coming from Canada, where if we have a curable illness, we most likely will live - that with 20 million people losing coverage overnight in the states (that's 2/3 of the population of Canada by the way), people will die. Of course they will. Many of them wont have any way to pay for their treatment...Their choice will be between draining their entire family's resources and being so in debt forever that they have no chance, and dying and letting their family have a future...
I'm not surprised that lawmakers aren't even attempting to make a new plan first for universal health care, then transition the people and phase out Obamacare. They've been so hell bent on killing Obamacare that they don't care, they just want it gone ASAP.
And you know, if universal health care that we have had in Canada my entire life was suddenly pulled out from under us, I can name off people - friends, family members - whose health and quality of life would immediately decrease. People I know and love would probably die far sooner by opting for no expensive treatments. So, it's kind of a big deal. And it does *not* take a massive amount of brain power to come to the conclusion that thousands each year MORE would die without universal health care.
