CNN pushed pretty hard for the $15 an hour minimum wage in their editorial content. They're probably not happy with the results of it, with many entry level jobs getting replaced with kiosks and robots.
So your solution is what? Allow corporations to continue to exploit human beings by paying them unlivable wages? You think Shake Shack, with their $3.91 billion net value, can't afford to pay delivery people more and just had to turn to robots instead? They absolutely can, they simply don't want to because then their C-suite assholes will get a slightly smaller bonus each year. This is corporate greed, plain and simple. Try again, corporate shill.
Give it another few years for Obamacare to come all the way online, and there may well be.

Probably. The rest of the modern world all look after the basic medical needs of people, it's pretty much only the US that lets people die because they have no money.
I came in to say the same thing Tsingi, there already is a healthcare crisis in the US, and anyone who tells themselves otherwise needs to do some research. The US has been behind in healthcare for years.
Some people manage by the book, even though they don't know who wrote the book or even what book.
