Confront and cure the health care crisis now! The government needs to establish anti​-monopoly laws, policies, and regulations on the medical industry. American citizens also need and deserve government-funded (with citizens' taxes) Universal Health Care (UHC) now. The current administration is squandering our tax funds for war, but claims Universal Health Care is too costly and has yet to address this national problem. The American people are sick and tired of being denied by our government, which has ignored our needs for far too long. Taxation without representation is one of the core reasons that brought colonists (a.k.a. immigrants) to this land. Don't let it be for naught. The American government desperately needs to establish reasonable and logical laws and policies, in opposition to the creation or continuance of the monopoly and unscrupulous practices that are currently being allowed by the medical industry. The rampant unscrupulous practices by too many insurance companies are creating a nationwide healthcare crisis with Americans paying the ultimate price monetarily, with their well-being, and tragically, sometimes with their very lives. Other leading nations around the world have established universal healthcare for their citizens by using the very taxes collected by said citizens to fund the medical complex. That is the epitome of taxation with the representation of the people, by the people, and for the people. Yet, the American government has refused to establish an honorable healthcare system despite crucial needs and more than enough taxes collected to fund a universal health care program. Shameful. Address the crisis, or ​our government needs to stop with the rhetoric, marketing, and sales​ pitches of how 'great of a nation we are,'. As it is, working-class Americans continue to be taxed but are increasingly reaping very little benefit, suffer, and perish needlessly.
