I can't imagine not having a national health service funded by taxes.

Democrats are coalescing around this being their #1 priority in the new Congress on 1/1/19. They suddenly realized that improving America's Healthcare System is why they won the U.S. House. All polls showed this to be #1 for Americans.

I distrust a party that tries to frame its policies and leadership around what will get it elected. That's a grab for power. The policies and leadership should be there first...and let the rest follow. That being said, the Democrats need something with a little more substance than "We're not Trump", and universal health care would seem to be a no-brainer.

I genuinely wish tax funded healthcare for US citizens, it's like the only major nation which doesn't offer it.
When I read the other recent thread by a US member with thousands being charged for simple tests it made me a bit sad...and glad I was born in the UK.
