Inequality

This has nothing to do with Democrats or Republicans, I am British looking into the US from the outside so my opinion counts for nothing.

I could list all the problems with the US health system but perhaps I should let others more qualified do it, please take a look at a few of these,
you may have seen them before but perhaps you haven't.
They might just tell you something you didn't already know, these are just a few of hundreds on youtube.

America is self-destructing in many ways, as are many other nations. Healthcare is just one of them. (Health/Care is the way the term should be presented.)

Long before socialism took hold in this country people took care of each other. The churches did a lot. Neighbors did a lot. Family did a lot. They knew they were dependent on each other if things went wrong and they took care of each other. When a couple got married everyone got together and helped them build their house and barn. Basically the community set the newly weds up in business. It was a lot like what the Amish still practice, and they still practice these things because they have rejected where society has gone, what society has become. They were, and are, far wiser than our society.

And that may well work in small communities where the wealthy and the poor have eye to eye relationships with one another. It doesn't work at all when the middle class moves to the suburbs and wealthy to their estates, leaving the poor segregated in impoverished neighborhoods. But as it is, out of sight, out of mind.

It's not the job of government to play the role of 'equalizer' of economic injustice.

It is not the job of government to create war or other policies that profit the wealthy elites.
