      Th government is using health care to force people to continue working. They know they can fund it. They also know if healthcare becomes free in the US, there are lots of people who can just stop working. If they made healthcare free I’d likely be able to stop working by age 45

      Easily cover half of the student loan forgiveness plans that would have been in place for 1-3 decades vs a few months of expenses…

      They could fund a public healthcare system twice over with the money the federal government is already spending providing piece meal health care through several inefficient programs. The war crime fund could solve the housing problem though.
