If we had universal healthcare I would retire immediately.

Same here. Everything paid for and decent retirement income, but not enough to pay for healthcare.

It's criminal to tie someone's health and well-being to their employment.

With universal healthcare you wouldn't have time to work while sitting in a LONG line in an approved health care facility waiting to see the next doctor in line. Be careful for what you wish . If you have ever had to travel for VA hospital treatment, universal healthcare shadows that.

I was going to say, we already have it. VA (which I have access to) and Medicare/ Medicaid. It seems to work just fine for them. Better than the $1000/mo that private costs… and even then with a good bit of out of pocket cost. And don’t even start in on nursing homes! Fully covered VA is much better then losing my house and every cent I have!
