They’re advocating to jump ship. Pathetic.

I was worried so, but surely we wouldn't go to a nation without healthcare to escape bad healthcare.

Trade "free" but unavailable health care for higher buying power, and lower taxes, but the requirement of health insurance.

Free but less available health care for completely unavailable healthcare. Poor people exist, yk.
