[AGL] What's Wrong With Medicare for All

[Byron Allen Black]

And what is CRIMINAL is the way the medical profession, which is absolutely

How many physicians are brave or determined enough to force their sick
patients to go onto a proper diet? For that matter, what is hospital food
like these days? Hate to imagine.
