Look, in theory, I am all for everyone has one simplified health care system that is paid for by taxes so when you go to the doctor, you pay nothing. You don't have to worry about thing bankrupt because you got hurt or sick. I'm totally pro-M4A.
BUT.
Look at this pandemic. 1/9

Look at how many people are FREAKING OUT because they are being told to *wear a mask,* literally to *save lives.*
Unfortunately, there is nothing more American than choosing to do the stupid, painful, or expensive thing simply because "no one gets to tell us what to do." 2/9

Now imagine, instead of masks, you're telling people to abandon everything they ever know about healthcare. Taxes will go up, but you will never pay another doctor's bill again.
And they don't have a choice. 3/9

If you think they've overreacting over masks, imagine what they would do if it's their health insurance.
It DOESN'T MATTER that the ideal M4A is better. It DOESN'T MATTER that their overall bills go down. You are FORCING Americans to do what is best for them. 4/9

The leaders who understand America best understand that brute forcing Americans to do anything never works. Ever.
So that's why you don't make it forced. It's an option, a tempting candy. Hey. Hey you. If you're willing to trust me, your health insurance can be free... 5/9

You don't have to. No one is forcing you. But hey, look, Rose next door broke her leg on that ice in front of your houses, and she paid $0 AND gets one of those nifty knee scooter things. Rose says there's no catch. 6/9
And your best friend Jack, he had this cut on his foot that want healing, so he went to the doctor and they got him on some antibiotics. $0, and he said they said if he put it off any longer, he might have lost the foot entirely. If he still had his old insurance... 7/9
So see, it's working. You don't HAVE to, if you don't want to...but this one trick will literally save you thousands of dollars and remove stress from your life. So come along. Join the cool kids who don't have to pay doctor bills ever again. 8/9
And that's how you coax America into changing gears. You don't slam her into fifth immediately, you take her up gently, so she doesn't even notice when things are moving faster and smoother, except that she can't imagine ever going back.
