You know what would really help me as a small business owner?

Universal health care. We spend millions on premiums that enrich insurance companies.

Went on Fox to make this case and they were flabbergasted: "Why would you want to pay more" (in taxes)?

For-profit health care:

The top 18 health care CEOs make $317M/year combined

Hospital CEO pay is up 93% in a decade

3 opioid makers gave CEOs $2M+ bonuses despite billion-dollar settlements

Health care company profits grew 22% last year alone

Premiums are up 55% in a decade
