  Bernie stans will kill me, but single player is not the only way to achieve universal healthcare 
  Countries like France, Germany, Singapore all have mixed public private healthcare systems with relegated price caps to ensure affordability, and thats probably the path that makes the most sense for the US

  Western countries must be prepared to provide long-term support to Ukraine as Russia shows no signs of relenting, Nato's secretary general has said.
  Jens Stoltenberg told the BBC that military support would ensure the survival of Ukraine as a sovereign country and force Russia to sit down and negotiate an end to the war.
  "We need to provide support to Ukraine now, including military support, because that's the only way to convince Russia that they have to sit down and negotiate in good faith and respect Ukraine as a sovereign independent nation in Europe," Mr Stoltenberg said.

  lol why are the comments a pissing contest for who's helped the most? We should all just agree that we need to continue supporting them. >
  
  B/c the US is doing the right thing, and edgy teenagers on the internet can't handle that. It's hard to be a contrarian and woke at the same time while the US is providing all this much needed support >
  
  Americans want healthcare. >
  
  universal healthcare would cost American less than the current system. There is no financial obstacle to achieving it, its not a binary choice between military spending and healthcare >
  
  It's more complicated than a dollar sign on a piece of paper.
  The current system employees a lot of people and undoing it requires coming up with a plan for the employment vacuum it would create.
  I'm not disagreeing that single payer is a better system, but the current system is so entrenched that unwinding it will require a lot of upfront planning, care and monumental cost. It's really not as simple of a transition as people make it out to be.
