    Yes, no one in their right mind would take what that rag spouts is the truth; it is similar to believing Hollywood’s as a portrayer of authentic history.​

    So you advocate paying the exact same dollar amount in taxes as your neighbor, for use of the roads and a healthcare policy, because you would never want your neighbor to have to pay more for the same access as you?

    Why do you keep spouting this over and over? Are you saying you are against progressive tax rates?

    People on Medicaid receive healthcare. Uninsured people pay for their own healthcare. Treatment is always available.

    The data shows that socialized medicine is a disaster.

    Buy a catastrophic policy and pay your day to day expenses.

    There are always options to receive healthcare in the US. In socialized medicine the only option is waiting with no guarantee of treatment.

    Your analysis is woefully uninformed. Many of the states who had introduced single payer have dropped trying to push it. Sanders plan estimates a cost of 32 trillion over 10 years. Some states have found that it would double their budget.

    Currently, I pay for my own health insurance. With single payer I will not pay for my own health insurance but I will be paying much higher taxes to pay for everybody else’s insurance. As every single payer program worldwide has shown that services and providers will be limited.

    Are you saying that you're trying to get yet one more freebie?

    Everything in my post is documented and in the public record. Do you think the UK press is lying about the failure of NHS?

    I have no idea what any of this garbage means or if it has remotely any meaning at all.

    If they can't pay they should be on Medicaid. There are multiple options for obtaining healthcare in the US.

    I don't. I am asking the nation of individuals to insure that everyone gets a basic umbrella of healthcare,
    I am not asking you to be responsible for me. It is not about me, I am OK, I was reasonably successful my house is paid, My 401 is sufficient unless I live to be a 100, but I will take being poor and being on the right side of the grass if that comes about.

    Socialized medicine is a disaster. The distribution of wait times and the inferior access to the latest medications and medical equipment is a feature of socialized medicine.

    If you are on Medicaid you are covered by socialized medicine.

    Fine, so it worked for you, I am saying that, all I am saying is that it should not even be a concern.

    We are not talking people making less than 25,000 a year. The poor have better insurance than I do.
