They say, "You'll have to wait". It's a bullshit argument against Universal Healthcare.

A place to discuss positive changes that can make work more equitable, and to vent about current practices. We are NOT against work; we just want the fruits of our labor to be recognized better.
Our Philosophies:
- All workers must be paid a living wage for their labor.
- Income inequality is the main cause of lower living standards.
- Workers must join together and fight back for what is rightfully theirs.
- We must not be divided and conquered. Workers gain the most when they focus on unifying issues.
Our Goals
- Higher wages for underpaid workers.
- Better worker representation, including but not limited to unions.
- Better and fewer working hours.
- Stimulating a massive wave of worker organizing in the United States and beyond.
- Organizing and supporting political causes and campaigns that put workers first.

Over 90% of Democrats want universal healthcare, along with over 60% of Independents and even 30%+ of Republican voters.
So, a huge majority of people in the USA want the same healthcare as Canada, UK, Japan, Poland... (huge list of dozens of civilized countries).
The Democrats have used this issue to win elections since the 1990s. The USA gives billions of dollars to people around the world, most of whom have universal healthcare themselves.
We're the wealthiest of these nations by far, but unfortunately, the wealth is top heavy, and those wealthy people are paying US reps a gigantic pile of money to keep things as they are, so that they can make even more enormous piles of money.
That's it, it's pretty simple. IF ONLY we lived in a republic with representatives that work for their constituency!
That would be neat.
What about corporations? They don't need healthcarr and they are people too!
