Before Nixon, we had affordable health care. After Nixon, the insurance cabal developed a relationship with medical providers to shaft everyone to the maximum extent.

You are the only one here who knows how US normal healthcare was before the Nixon piece of shit who was bought by assurance lobby. I don't believe in full retards. I think we are surrounded by kike shills.

My father raised 6 children all of which were born in hospital and he never had a large bill that he could not afford. I (the last) was born in the mid 60s. After Nixon, and I can remember it, was when everything went expensive in health care. It began with a large number of malpractice suits, (this got the cause and effect cycle moving), then the insurance companies and the medical providers colluded to increase prices. That's when and how it happened, I know, I watched it in real time. If you keep your eyes open for new large buildings being built, you'll see, Hospitals never stop building, Insurance companies have the trendiest designs, and banks are constantly building large structures, no one else has the money or assets to do that..
Those KIKE shills you mention.... they were there from the beginning. Doctors, lawyers, and insurance companies, and they are ripping us off!

Most things should be funded go fund me style, and the rest should be invoice style. No more paying taxes in advance and then seeing what they give you for it.

Not a bad idea. Could go terribly wrong, but even terribly wrong would be an improvement
