Still cheaper than the monthly premiums. Admit it, the current system is trash and bankrupts people on a daily basis. Stop hating.

The US economy gets the money. People get healthcare. Good enough for military, old people, kids, and congress...

People will ALWAYS exploit a system. There has to be a maximum limit or some system of checks and balances. I can see people getting

“diagnosed” and then going on disability and getting everything paid for by tax money anyway.

They already do this.

We have universal healtcare here and its no easy task to go on disability. Faking it is difficult if you need the opinion of several doctors

Its amazing what certain people choose to ignore and what corporate lobbyist and politician propaganda they blindly accept and propagate.

See if Canada will let you in? Probably won't but you can try.

Are you suggesting someone move to Canada for better healthcare instead of demanding it in their own country?

7 years ago | Likes 5 Dislikes 1

I'm suggesting countries with working universal healthcare also have tough immigration policies. If that's what we want we have to fix immig

Tough but fair... They don't don't threaten bullet storms, nor put kids in cages, instead they grant citizenships and scholarships

Canada will allow 300k immigrants this year. In 4 months this year more than 300k have been apprehended by US boarder patrol...

Using taxes to ensure everyone gets needed healthcare and no one has to worry about going bankrupt from medical bills? Sounds good.

Isn't it something like 50% of people in the US don't pay any taxes now? Can "free" healthcare be sustained this way?

7 years ago | Likes 10 Dislikes 2

44% - though that excludes Medicare and Social Security, which those individuals do pay.

7 years ago | Likes 4 Dislikes 2

Sorry, you are correct. Should have said zero federal income tax. Looks like the % has gone down in recent years as well, good news.

7 years ago | Likes 5 Dislikes 0

It's slightly up from last year due to the tax changes.

It's almost like taxes were meant to insure smooth operation of critical societal functions for the people, such a not dying from being poor

"Social functions". Nope. There's a *veeeeery* short list of things the federal govt is in charge of. Read the Constitution.

Dafuq ?. Societal functions... Not even remotely the same thing, also your Constitution don't outline tax spending, nor future policy.

Actually, the Constitution specifically forbade a capita tax, and laid out the means to change that, in the future, if ppl were stupid enuff

The point is people like the word free and if I say free a lot then free is exactly what you love to have and it's not actually free...

7 years ago | Likes 10 Dislikes 13

But who calls it free? Seems to me that the politicians proposing are calling it universal healtcare and say it will be paid by taxes.

That would require 1000's of pages, and then some lefties would disagree on them. Leftism is real fucking broad and nuanced.

Nor really. U in favor of free speech and exchange of ideas? You're a liberal. Wanna stop speech that challenges your prejudices? Leftist.
