he supports social security... he says that he believes in the government keeping its word; we continue to pay out the ass with our tax dollars every year and get the least coverage. he could easily recognize the waste of billions of dollars giving money to health insurance companies without stopping it. He could recognize it as an investment in a program largely supported by the population, and save it. Reform it by paying on behalf of patients like in germany. the question is rather convincing him that it is a cheaper system that keeps more people healthy. The government made the corrupt decision to give money directly to insurance companies, and money simply went to the heads of companies.
i didnt know there was health care and corporations refusing to keep their word to their customers at the time the constitution was written. otherwise they might have mentioned it, especially if it was working so well other places. the only reason they can't afford it is because of the declining birth rate.
nothing wrong with change, right
