From a post a friend shared on Facebook:
All it takes to get Universal Healthcare,
is convincing Americans
that paying
$2000 in taxes is better than paying
$8000 in
Health Insurance.
It literally boils down to enough
Americans
understanding that the
number 2 is smaller than the number 8.
Every other country has
already figured this out.
Me:

I'm looking for the exit.
Also me:

This is how the government gets into your bedroom for real.
And, finally, me:
But -- This is also what happens when a free people can't take care of each other, can't take care of their own, without some authority figure telling them who, when, what, how, where, and why.
