Medicare For All... It's Time
Written by Stacey Khizder Healthcare is a right, not a privilege. I never understood why the GOP had an issue with determining healthcare as a right when their entire platform preaches "pro-life". It never made sense to me why moderate Democrats don't see single-payer healthcare as the only viable option for Americans. I certainly cannot explain why mainstream cable media completely...
