In a civilized society, citizens are provided with public safety services, regardless of their ability to pay for them. Citizens are literally entitled to the public safety protections of police departments, law courts, fire departments and health care. For society's own common good, citizens are also provided with free education.
It is time that the United States joined the rest of the civilized world, by providing its citizens with public health care.
To prevent this, an intransigent and self-interested minority has engaged in a massive campaign of public deception. They are opposed to any progression towards "Medicare for Any American".
But since none of the opponents to public health care have suggested repealing Medicare itself, they've shown that their opposition is based solely on political considerations. They have effectively abandoned any claims to sound public policy principles: you should not honor such an unprincipled stand, by requiring a super majority.
Please permit the use of reconciliation.
Please let a robust Senator majority pass a robust public option.
It is the right, proper and just course of action....for a civilized society.
