    universal healthcare really can’t be grouped in with those others.

    It’s even worse to compare it to a one-time aid bill to a country currently fighting off an invasion (and Israel). That money supporting Ukraine literally helps everyone in the world (relatively cheaply), except aggressor Russia.

    But back to universal healthcare. The US spends 4.3 Trillion dollars on healthcare. Every year. People will get sick no matter what. We’re already paying that, it’s just so much goes to middlemen like insurance companies that we literally pay more for worse quality healthcare.

    Oh, and less families would be bankrupted and fewer people dead in the streets from preventable causes if we had universal healthcare…
