    Is there a study that shows how much potential profit the medical industrial complex may not realize if we made the switch? (Of course in reality, they’d still find a way to get most of “their piece”).

    Because that’s the thing holding it up. Not data-based proof points, or public opinion that universal healthcare would work, we have that and have had that.

      I’m pretty sure most corporations are holding this up, actually. They want us to be beholden to them for healthcare so it’s harder to quit. And they want us to not have easy access to Healthcare so we can’t sue them in class actions for shitty products. I am convinced the class action piece would represent trillions in losses for corporations here.

        Very good point. Military as well, need this and for-profit colleges to make the “benefits” of military service shine.
