Public health is so difficult to implement that only 22 of the 23 most developed countries in the world have done it.

22 have done it. 1 has not.

Guess which one has not.

My bad, I didn’t read your comment correctly. I think it was a combination of lack of a /s, and me being half-asleep at the time lol

I don’t get the “no longer fringe” part of this article. There’s always been conservative resistance to public health initiatives.

Any and all public incentives are handouts that businesses now can't turn into profits to trickle down on you. It's very simple.

I guess the /s was necessary.

These people made people dead the last time they implemented their "health" plan.

Republicans are an existential threat, but somehow we have to make nice and pretend like they're reasonable people who just have some polite disagreements.
