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& #39;t have to worry about thing bankrupt because you got hurt or sick. I& #39;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& #39;re telling people to abandon everything they ever know about healthcare. Taxes will go up, but you will never pay another doctor& #39;s bill again.

And they don& #39;t have a choice. 3/9
If you think they& #39;ve overreacting over masks, imagine what they would do if it& #39;s their health insurance.

It DOESN& #39;T MATTER that the ideal M4A is better. It DOESN& #39;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& #39;s why you don& #39;t make it forced. It& #39;s an option, a tempting candy. Hey. Hey you. If you& #39;re willing to trust me, your health insurance can be free... 5/9
You don& #39;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& #39;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& #39;s working. You don& #39;t HAVE to, if you don& #39;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& #39;t have to pay doctor bills ever again. 8/9
And that& #39;s how you coax America into changing gears. You don& #39;t slam her into fifth immediately, you take her up gently, so she doesn& #39;t even notice when things are moving faster and smoother, except that she can& #39;t imagine ever going back.

9/9
