This meme came up in a friend’s timeline the other day.

Conversation immediately turned Medicare for all with people asking why we couldn’t do it.
Rather than just dismiss the question I want to entertain it.

Rules –

I will try to use the term Medicare for All for Universal Health Care.

While many conservative friends wouldn’t take this seriously,
I treat this like a real question and I give if the best answer I can.
I don’t mock, embarrass or doxx anyone.
The answers come from the way I see things.
I prepare to be wrong (as if it hasn’t happened before).
My goal is information exchange and discussion, not domination or ownage.
