@serena_patriot Big money in politics. The wealthy are controlling the country for their own gain, not for the gain of the nation, people, economy and for world peace, climate change etc. It's not all politicians, but enough to make passing the "right" laws almost impossible at times.

@nathaliejacoby1 You only have to see what healthcare is like in other nations to know that free healthcare for all is a good thing. Here in the UK it costs nothing to see the doctor, to have surgery or an MRI scan etc. You can pay to go private like in the USA but if you can't afford, it's free.
