Universal healthcare is a good idea

Our health care system is totally fucked up and is a major drag on the economy as a whole. It would cost us less to set up a centralized system to insure everyone than the current system does now. But it will never happen because insurance companies give gobs of money to Republicans, and the Republicans in turn have convinced the world that privatization always solves everything.

Sometimes I understand people vote Republican because they don't give a shit about other people, and on some level I kind of respect that. But there are lots of instances (like this) where Republicans just plain make the world worse for everyone, themselves included.
