Just imagine if we had health coverage that wasn't tied to our jobs. If you had enough money to live on you could -- gasp -- quit your job and couch it up or find a different one. Can't have that though, because that's too much like actual freedom.
What's all the more ridiculous is, the US government already spends like $2-3T per year on medical spending (Medicare, Medicaid, Tricare, etc). And that's not enough somehow.
After you remove all the C-suite salaries they only have 14 dollars left. Don't you know that execs need their yachts?
And they spend more per capita than Canada does.
