Why Doesn’t America Have Universal Health Care? One Word: Race
Back in the 40’s President Harry Truman tried to establish Universal Healthcare. The Democratic South, who would be today’s GOP (it needed to be said for the politically daft in the back), voted it down because it would have desegregated their hospitals.
It wasn’t the first time universal healthcare was put before legislators, this was another attempt to implement it.
They convinced the Feds to let the States decide where the funds will go, which is why so many adults without children, don’t have healthcare, because the Southern states refuse to expand Medicaid to include them!
This isn’t ancient U.S. history. This was less than a century ago, closer to like 80 years ago.
I wonder if these racist mf’ers realize that it’s a Black Woman’s cells that they used to develop the Polio vaccine that was released in 1952.
Imagine being so full of hate, that you’d rather see an entire Race suffer and die?
