Having 2% of your taxable income go towards UHC is fantastic, she said it's so nice not to have to worry about being sick or going to the doctor and end up racking up thousands in bills.

It's a total shame that the U.S. can't get such a system, and people on the street in the U.S. are brainwashed into thinking that UHC is the devil.
Couldn't agree with you more.

However the asshole Republicans will scream "Communism!"

And the asshole Democrats will scream "Unicorns and Pixie Dust!".
