Our Healthcare Choice

We have to choose between billions for insurers, or Medicare for all. Here is a discussion:

I vote for Medicare for all, but Congress (which has not been "our" Congress for quite some time) doesn't seem to care what We The People want.

What was it that Jefferson wrote?

We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness. — That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, — That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness.

Hmmm ... maybe it is time for "new government". How else can we get what we need?
