Healthcare for All, and How to Pay for It

President Obama met with Democratic leaders to discuss how to pay for healthcare.

In my opinion this shouldn't be an issue. With all the money we pay in taxes we can't afford decent healthcare! The United States is the only industrialized nation that doesn't
 have universal healthcare. We are falling way behind hear. We are almost a third world country.

so how do we pay for it?

First of all we can cut back on military spending. The war that the previous president started should be over by now. Pull all troops back including those in Afghanistan, so that we don't have to keep spending money on a war this is not keeping us safe, and has nothing to do with 9/11.

Next we can put a tax on things that are unhealthy, like fast food, and soda. see The Resident

I also say legalizing marijuana and putting a tax on that may help as well.

The point is this...

We pay our taxes, and we should get something back. Private healthcare has failed, so we need public healthcare.

So let us all find a way to have healthcare for all.
