    Why do you want the government involved in your healthcare? You guys have been bitching about government involvement in womens health, I.E. abortions, and you want more of that? How hypocritical can you get?

    Do you partake in Medicare? If so, why since you are fully against Government involved in your healthcare?

    I'm new to your private argument, but are you seriously arguing the government helping to subsidize access to health care is in the same ballpark as the government making your health care decisions for you??

    There's not even a word for that... Well, there is, but it's frowned upon in this forum...

    You’re a broken record in this thread. How about you just blurt out the gotcha line you’re trying to set someone up for and move on?

    Because I don’t have a choice and I already paid into it for a life time. Other people get free health care and never paid a dime into the system.

    Didn't you start this with why doesn't Biden get the price of gas lower or that he's the reason it's so high.

    Well, the answer to that is pretty obvious---Presidents don't control the price of gas. Although trump did a good job of lowering gas prices by incompetently responding to the CV19 pandemic, shutting the economy down so that demand for petroleum was so low that the prices came down.

    But Government is so bad for your healthcare, isn't it? If you truly believed this, you would dump Medicare and buy your own healthcare insurance.

    You don't HAVE to go on Medicare. You can still buy your own health insurance.

    A president has SOME influence over things like that. But he isn't all powerful.

    Frankly, if extremely high gas prices are the price to pay to convince Americans gas is NOT the long term answer to our personal transportation needs, I'm not opposed to that...

    It's been a sucky few months, but it's certainly not causing much pain in the MAGA world, with this sort of disposable income reported.

    If I was, I would be arguing with someone that makes sense. It would be refreshing.

    AND so why doesn't he just make the price a dollar? Oh yeah, because he can't, just as he didn't make it what it is today.

    It would be schizophrenic, but if you think that’s refreshing more power to you.
