‘It’s not possible for us’: Donald Trump has $200,000,000,000 for war, but says he can’t spare a dime for Medicare or daycare

Ever wonder why American healthcare is such a nightmare? Almost all developed countries have some form of nationalized healthcare. For example, in the United Kingdom, if you break your leg, you’ll get an ambulance ride to a hospital, where you’ll be seen by a doctor, get X-rays, be fitted for a cast, and be given crutches or a wheelchair while you recover.

You’re not handed a bill at the end, there’s no negotiating with an insurance provider over coverage, there’s no stress over the cost of the ambulance ride, and no medical debt following you around for years.
