I want to see him and Biden in a celebrity death match for the Dem nomination.

once other people pay for it in their taxes... FTFY

Where else would the money come from? Thats what taxes ARE. money for the gov to use for the benefit of the country
SCARY. Ppl who cannot see the lie in "free" once you've paid for it....
Pebblebro
@op is an idiot. Has no idea how government works! He should have studied in school. No more thinking for him, just Fox News and trump
Because pretending Fox is the problem is a deep and thoughtful conceptualization...

Still cheaper than the monthly premiums. Admit it, the current system is trash and bankrupts people on a daily basis. Stop hating.
NewtGinGrinch
You do get that that money goes right back into thee economy..right?
poodleguts
supply-siders get NOTHING. They sit there, hands over their ears, yelling LA LA LA LA LA LA LA
The US economy gets the money. People get healthcare. Good enough for military, old people, kids, and congress...
jalcantara88127001
You mean taxes actually used for something everyone needs? Yeah lets shit on it

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.
hotdogsinmilk
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
trapperjohnmd
we get free security and protection from our military... after we pay for it in our taxes. We get free roads bridges and infrastructure too
thickythickydumdum
public schools, police, fire dept...we're already there just no one seems to realize it
Its amazing what certain people choose to ignore and what corporate lobbyist and politician propaganda they blindly accept and propagate.

I pay more in taxes for an overall healthier society? Sign me up.

See if Canada will let you in? Probably won't but you can try.
Selfawerewolf
Are you suggesting someone move to Canada for better healthcare instead of demanding it in their own country?
I'm suggesting countries with working universal healthcare also have tough immigration policies. If that's what we want we have to fix immig
Yeah, no
BrickShakes
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...
That doesn't make even a little bit of sense.
What that we can't be the worlds free hospital?
DrForester
Using taxes to ensure everyone gets needed healthcare and no one has to worry about going bankrupt from medical bills? Sounds good.
itspronouncedfronkensteen
Isn't it something like 50% of people in the US don't pay any taxes now? Can "free" healthcare be sustained this way?
haveyouseenmypenisilostitagain
44% - though that excludes Medicare and Social Security, which those individuals do pay.
Sorry, you are correct. Should have said zero federal income tax. Looks like the % has gone down in recent years as well, good news.
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
AceVenturasConfidant
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...
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.
And cloud storage ins't actually in a cloud. We get it buzzwords are stupid, but if they confuse you that much, you got a different problem
Defines being a leftist....
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.
