A Dozen Freedoms Single-Payer Universal Healthcare Will Destroy

This seems like the best group to share this satire with, as Bernie Sanders is the only candidate in either party actually interested in making sure universal healthcare happens.

A Dozen Freedoms Single-Payer Universal Healthcare Will Destroy

(The Nil Admirari) Here are twelve American freedoms Bernie Sanders will destroy if his push for a single-payer universal healthcare system is successful:

1. Freedom to watch politicians pretend there are valid alternatives to a universal healthcare system, and callously ignore the suffering of hundreds of millions caused by their lies.

2. Freedom to witness health insurance companies financially profit from denying critical healthcare every financial quarter of every year.

7. Freedom to lose your job due to conditions related to lack of healthcare access.

(sorry if the reference isn't clear read a synopsis of a synopses of his speech in Ayn Rand's book - reading any more would be tedious. hard to get through due to very bad writing and possibly hazardous to your mental health)

I had the horrible experience of having read the entire thing thirty years ago, it was the hardest book to get through of my entire life, not that it was challenging in a good way, like reading Ulysses a novel by James Joyce, that was as wonderful as it was hard, this Ayn Rand stuff is just tortuous dribble used to endorse a philosophy of selfishness for billionaires that feel entitled and a study in sociopathy regarding anyone not rich.
