, it is not the government's job to provide for us
That's just your opinion/wish/fantasy and not a fact. The government is of, by and for the people and it they want it to do so then they will.


Nope. It is a fact. Read The United States Constitution. Nowhere does it say anything about a mandate to provide for the population. Funny you describe it as a wish/fantasy when that is quite literally what this push for universal healthcare is. That all aside, I clearly outlined why this is a dangerous precedent that is not desirable even if some people are fooled into thinking it is.

You're right that Americans do not have the right to healthcare.  It's not a radical idea to change that though.

More than half the UN countries have some form of guaranteed healthcare as a basic right included in their constitution.

Like I said, Bernie just lost himself Florida, a key swing state.
November is a long way away.
