Do republican politicians, and others in charge of maintaining this healthcare farce we have, have some sort of training in "convince the downtrodden to vote for things that make their lives harder" or is it just something natural?

I say this as a Wisconsin emigrant that watched my home state shoot itself in the face time and time and time again.

They spend so much, because it's basically Health Business not Care.

I'd go with MoneyCaid. Health run care by big bureaucratic business deeply intertwined with big bureaucratic government. So there's lots of money flowing, but not as much care.

Please can someone explain the USA's lack of free healthcare to me? Every time i see it suggested or attempted its immediately sabotaged by just about everyone.

The NHS is one of the greatest things to come out the UK but you guys seem so opposed to the notion.
