Because they are simple.
Not understanding isn’t an invitation to insult.
Maybe the government should wipe your ass for you to.
Well, sometimes they have to do just that. Hospice and assisted living should be government funded or should we just let the elderly who can’t afford care go die on the streets?
Ok, so you’re a supporter of Medicare for all to provide help people with mental illness & substance addiction treatment, get them off the street, and get them back as a functioning member of society. Good. Someone with some common sense!
We the people of the United States, in order to form a more perfect union, establish justice - means that all people are to be ruled by the laws of their states or country that helps keep people safe and keeps certain rules about what people are supposed to do and not supposed to do protected. , insure domestic tranquility - generally means peace at home, provide for the common defence - This phrase means that the protection of the United States, its citizens, and property, is the responsibility of the federal government, and not of individual states. Common defense is the protection of a whole country against foreign attack promote the general welfare, and secure the blessings of liberty to ourselves and our posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America - indicating that issues such as poverty, housing, food and other economic and social welfare issues facing the citizenry were of central concern to the framers. IMO this doesn't mean free healthcare for everyone. The government is way too much involved in our lives. Look how screwed up California is with their "government solves all problems ideology." People, like myself are leaving that state in droves.
So why not add free food, housing, and other basic needs for everyone. Where does it end?

Life Expectancy by Country
Life expectancy is a measure of how long the average person lives in a given country, and these are the countries with the highest and lowest life expectancies.
What are you talking about? We’re talking about healthcare. A public Medicare for all option for those who want it and a private option for those who don’t. Everyone gets what they want.
How? When I lived in a country with Universal healthcare, if you got sick, you go to the doctor, are treated, and walk back out again. How is that being owned by the government?
The NHS was formed 71 years ago.
