    Forum right wingers prefer Republican death panels to be the rule of the day.

    When a law was passed that all must purchase healthcare, our medicine became socialized.

    Despite the steep recession in 1982--brought on by tight money policies that were instituted to squeeze out the historic inflation level of the late 1970s--by 1983, the Reagan policies of reducing taxes, spending, regulation, and inflation were in place. The result was unprecedented economic growth:

    Republican Mitt Romney praised Israel's socialized health care.

    Better than having Republican death panels. ;)

    Republicans who vote against health care for Americans thereby causing needless deaths constitute death panels.

    Republicans vote for capitalist health care so people can afford health care which is already 3 times more costly than most countries.

    Health care is for sale. Think of it as you would going to your lawyer or your psychiatrist.

    By making laws forcing the Feds or your state to pay your doctor, is reverse government.

    Why keep driving health care costs higher and higher by handing to health care deep pockets. It is an unnatural system that rewards doctors and hospitals and drug firms.

    You do not hold down prices by making much more cash available to the health care industry.

    What would autos cost were the Feds to pay the costs for your new cars?

    exactly!! the only way to make health care( and all goods) cheap and available to all is through Republican capitalism wherein you have providers competiting to provide the lowest price and highest quality. USSR didn't have that and no one could afford anything. They all starved. 1+1=2 it seems like a very simple concept but i guarantee you it is way beyond the liberal IQ. Its such a sad fact.

    They treat health care as some right handed out and paid for by government.

    They also ignore the 800 billion taken from Medicare by Obama to pass ACA.

    So, they favor his taking but revile more taking, but never blaming Obama. Funny innit?

    if I said every state extended Medicaid I'll pay you $10,000. Does the liberal know what a straw man is?

    the liberal said tax code gave rich health care subsidies without realizing the poor get free health care 100% paid for by the rich!

    Democrats use a system they allege they hate. Taking one sample and acting like it proves a much more general case.

    So much for Milton Friedman and his BS. He was entrenched in the capitalist business model to the point where he couldn't imagine anything else, so he saw that same model in government wherever parts of the model seem to fit. And it gave him a distorted view of reality. That's what you see in that video in the OP. It led him to make unsupported BS claims.

    translation: I'm a typical liberal, what I said was total BS, and I cant provide example of "Milton Friedman's BS."

    See why we are positive that liberalism is based in pure ignorance?

    Your authoritarian power structure and your economic/political system are unsustainable.

    Watch.
