34. What about the 50 million without any, I guess they are happy?
I guess that's the 10 to 20 not happy?? 5 people die every hour directly related to not being able to get the necessary health care, MAYBE down to 3 an hour with your plan. Can you be happy with that?? People die from abscessed teeth because they don't have coverage? Are you happy about that?? Your plan will cover some, but not all, with Medicare for All, Everybody is in, Nobody out. I can't be happy until everybody gets health care. It's not only a human right but a human need...

Article 25 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights (hey, we signed onto this!).

* (1) Everyone has the right to a standard of living adequate for the health and well-being of himself and of his family, including food, clothing, housing and medical care and necessary social services, and the right to security in the event of unemployment, sickness, disability, widowhood, old age or other lack of livelihood in circumstances beyond his control.
* (2) Motherhood and childhood are entitled to special care and assistance. All children, whether born in or out of wedlock, shall enjoy the same social protection.
