i'm disabled. the ADA cut my medical costs from twice my annual income to two thirds my annual income.

cool, so your still just 1 medical emergency away from bankruptcy. barely able to save anything towards the future regardless.

meanwhile, you and all the other taxpayers are subsidizing record level profit taking for the US healthcare/pharma/insurance industry, costing the public more $ than literally every other countrie's healthcare for zero material gain over a single-payer/universal system.
