    Lol.

    "Either accept our corruption at any level, or you're a murderer"

    Lol.

    If somebody dies in the street out of laziness, I have no ill feelings. None at all. If that's what it takes to get money to actual people that need it and not to those that don't.

    No.

    I did NOT say that quote, or anything remotely like it.

    Please STOP making blatantly false allegations about me and others on this board.

    That is absolutely false.

    And, it is a false representation of your own position.

    You have consistently argued AGAINST any form of helping those in serious financial sItuation.

    Not one time have you argued for better solutions, better monitoring, or other improvement.

    Your only point is that you demand to STOP helping regardless of level of need.

    And, your reason has been that you want lower taxes.

    Own up to that.

    Cost of “Medicare For All” is Grade 5 math, and many are just too stupid to figure it out.

    What an absurd position -completely oblivious to healthcare reality - as if the cost of healthcare is not legalized extortion - or that it is not a requirement like water or food.. "Well - if you can't pay for water - then die" is a rational solution.

    What do you think that would cost btw ? no food or water. There is a reason why we give minimal support to the poor - and it is not because we are good hearted - it is pure self interest. Might you be able to figure out what the self interest is ?

    Regardless .. the premise of the OP is nonsense anyway "How are we going to pay for it". We are already paying for it .. 2018 we paid 3.5 Trillion dollars "Total Cost - private and public - for a service that can be had for 1.75 Trillion - including universal.

    So how about we go to universal and decrease everyone's cost by half ? https://www.theamericanconservative.com/articles/the-conservative-case-for-universal-healthcare/

    It's not legalized extortion any more than buying a sandwich is legalized extortion when you're hungry. Just because you're hungry doesn't mean you have the right to someone else's food.

    No - way false dichotomy mate - and no one said anything about some right to someone else's food - try reading post again and responding with something addressing something I actually said in my post . something coherent showing you had a sniff of what the argument being made was.

    That's not how we buy Healthcare.

    And, yes - every first world nation ensures that their citizens can eat.

    Also, they make sure their citizens have Healthcare - with the exception of America, where citizens trade off between paying for food vs paying for health.

    You said health care isn't a right, if I get your drift there. Feel free to elaborate.

    Article 25: We all have the right to enough food, clothing, housing and healthcare for ourselves and our families. We should have access to support if we are out of work, ill, elderly, disabled, widowed, or can’t earn a living for reasons outside of our control. An expectant mother and her baby should both receive extra care and support. All children should have the same rights when they are born.

    Health care cannot be a right. Not without slavery and theft.

    Housing cannot be a right without theft and slavery.

    Maybe you can explain why I don’t have a right to twenty million dollars, too.

    I said I support social safety nets for those that truly need it.

    No thank you. You can go it alone with all the others that support it... but we all know these people can't make it float without people like me. That's why you want to force my participation.


    Again. No thanks.

    You claimed health care is legalized extortion. It's not. #8931. You most certainly did.

    No thanks to reducing the healthcare bill in half - no fiscal conservative bones in your body I see.

    Indeed I did .. but that was not one of your two strawmen. Do you have anything coherent to contribute or are you having trouble figuring out the next strawman ?

    Yes it can. England seems to do it.

    Sorry but when you live in a society you don't get to pick and choose what to pay for.

    Not logically. There cannot be the human right to the labor of another, without condoning slavery.

    Government can never guarantee the right to private goods. Only idiots believe this.
