Well you are smart enough to take something for nothing. Got to give you that.
Just stop telling other people it is a good idea. Unless they choose to be a slave to their own government.
If the government was offering the insurance that could be construed as being beholden to the government but these are private insurance companies that are NOW ('cause of the ACA) regulated by the government due to THEIR abuses and unscrupulous practices... So we finally get private universal insurance that actually works and that is slavery? So the insurers can't drop people and steal THEIR money that they have paid in over time while people stand by and die or watch a loved one die.
The GOP has attacked unions, healthcare, education, disabled, the elderly (with their idea to raise the retirement age...) they have gerrymandered the electoral voting process and this is to inure greater freedom for the majority of Americans?
We the people pay the taxes for the schools, we the people including myself paid into the social security system which the GOP wants to get their hands on that too!!!!
And you would elect a president with millions who pays zero in taxes and is too ashamed to even release his own tax forms?
When big business becomes polluters and don't clean up their messes, they make huge profits and then leave the mess for tax payers to clean up, who are the slaves here? This is worse than slavery. Private mega military contractor militias go to other countries, abscond with their resources and then leave the veterans for the American people to pick up the tab... Rightly so, the American people should pay for our wars but so should the profiteers too!!! The American people get all the bad blood left over from the wars and the profiteers get, well, all the profits while loyal Americans die to protect what they think is liberty when they are really only protecting corporate profits that the average American will never see.. This is worse than slavery it is tyranny imposed by the oligarchy. Rich people sending poor people off to do their bidding.
When corporations hide their earning in offshore accounts and use their fancy accountants to cleverly apply tax loopholes so billionaires pay no taxes, the middle class and the poor become slaves to the system, the government and the political system becomes our only line of defense. And let's not forget the banks and their money laundering for the corrupt.
I am a willing slave to a government that values the health of its people over the often decadent and monopolistic profits of the 1%.
