The GOP tells us that the for-profit US health care system delivers the best outcomes
They are lying
The US ranks 50th in life expectancy
We have the highest infant and maternal mortality of all developed nations
Americans spend more on healthcare than any other nation
We need Medicare for all

Cato Study: Immigrants Reduced Deficits by $14.5 Trillion Since 1994

Immigrants:
📌Pay more in taxes and take fewer benefits
📌Work more, earn more than the average native-born worker
📌Cost less in retirement, they do not drain Social Security for decades
📌Barely touch welfare, there is no free ride
Undocumented immigrants alone saved $1.7 trillion.
