help people they would do Medicare for all.

No, they won't do it. They do NOT want to help people. In fact, the reason the inadequate repeal and replace of the ACA looks like it will be going down is because it isn't cruel enough to the poor and disadvantaged

America has largely bought in to the trickle down survival of the fittest idea.

It doesn't matter if they're victims of it, they watch sports, they watch cheaters cheat and win, our very culture puts winning over integrity and we've been brainwashed into believing that nobody deserves any help whatsoever.
