Why can’t we have #universalhealthcare like every other successful country in the world?

If we are ever to have #freedom, money has to be taken out of politics. So it is up to you to vote for #progressive candidates.

These studies keep returning the same positive results but we're gonna keep running them as limited pilots until the heat death of the universe
An Oregon pilot program giving cash to homeless youths sees a staggering reduction in homelessness. The program gave participants $1,000 cash payments each month for two years, and at the end of the project's first phase, 91% of participants reported being in stable housing.
