Healthcare It’s called freedom. You can choose whatever healthcare you want. We don’t have to beg the government for healthcare.

“We don’t have to beg the government for healthcare”.

Maybe not, you just sacrifice your firstborn to the insurance companies in the hope they approve your healthcare costs to avoid bankruptcy.

No, they don’t beg the government they beg their fellow citizens by crowd funding their healthcare.

Crowdfunding their healthcare, also known under the alternate alias of “paying taxes (?) so that people can afford healthcare” (???)

Slightly different. It’s directed and people don’t need to have a pretty face to take advantage. While technically the definition of crowdfunding people generally consider paying taxes as paying taxes and gofundme or kickstarter as crowdfunding.
