        The rich & corporations should pay fair share & not get to wiggle thru loopholes that they're left only paying the Alternative Minimum Tax.

        Trump wants to do away with the Alternative Minimum Tax. For instance. We learned in 2005, Trump earned $150M & paid $35M in AMT.

        W/o the AMT, Trump would've paid $5M. A lot, to be sure, but only 3% of that year's income. That's less %wise than the lowest taxed income.

        All they hear when they hear "women's healthcare" is "abortion", but they forget breast cancer, c-sections, prenatal care, etc.

        You mean like paying thousands of dollars for maternity care under your plan? I guess motherhood will only be for the rich if that happens

        90% of births (the routine ones) also don't require a $20K+ hospital stay, despite what OB biz would like you to believe.

        Problem with that line of reasoning is that you don't know whether you're one of the high-risk ones until it happens.

        A one-in-ten risk of a high-risk birth is more than enough to warrant coverage for everyone.

        I'm not saying coverage isn't needed, I'm saying the reason it's so damned expensive is that providers are needlessly driving up costs

        The reason they drive up costs is that health care is a for-profit industry. Happens in every aspect of care, not just maternity.

        Ex: Cdn docs order CT scans first, and MRIs only if the CT warrants. US docs often go straight to the (more $$) MRI. Why? Driving up costs.
