Already spending 3.5 Trillion dollars on unfair lacking

healthcare. Now millions get from nothing to very little from current healthcare except bankruptcies and subsidizing Gold Plans. Biden’s ACA is not fair.

goods and services investing and the national debt will disappear with the resulting rises in GDP and income tax revenue . Poverty is a choice forced on the working class by big money refusing to work.

Drugs most people can only dream about.

Reading about high cost of hepatitis curing pill came across the same argument for defending high drug prices:
“However, Gilead vice president Gregg Alton defended the $84,000 price tag for the drug. Speaking recently at a public forum supported by the American Enterprise Institute, he said that "to suggest that a cure for a disease like hepatitis C should be priced at $36,000 . . . would put a huge disincentive on investing in cures for our industry."”

I believe that price puts that and any other expensive treatment out of reach for 150,000,000 citizens.
Life styles of “The Rich and Famous” should feature the healthcare plans of the Rich. Adding one more thing that most people will never be able to afford.
