    There's a movement in the US towards a Medicare for all system, not for a socialized system like the VA (or the UK's NHS)
     
  2. All they will succeed in doing is creating Medicaid for all. Medicare will collapse without people paying into it directly as is done now.

    Or we can spend another few trillion ($1.0x10^12) we don't have.

    You have a fundamental misunderstanding of what is involved in those kinds of attacks. Russia wasn't paying some guys to post ads.

    They were paying teams of programmers to build automation to flood social media with divisive content. On the scale of millions of accounts. Facebook suspended billions of fake accounts last year. Around the number of real accounts.

    Facebook Removed 2 Billion Fake Accounts, But Has More Fakes Profiles Than Ever


    The idea that you compare a foreign government paying hackers to commit cyber war harnissing millions of accounts to you bullshitting on a purple message board shows a fundamental misunderstanding of the scale involved.

    I really dont know what this is supposed to mean.
    Medicare for all is a misnomer anyways because it wouldnt be an expansion of existing medicare, it would be a more comprehensive program that would take the place of both medicare and medicaid.
    And it would be paid for by taxes, just like our current medicare, so I don't know what you mean about it not being paid for directly.

    Why do people only complain about taxes and how much programs cost when they actually benefit regular people

    Our over-the-top defense spending is also a problem. President Dice would cut it in half.

    Reminds me, I have a liberal friend who (oddly enough) works in D.C. for the DOD. He surprised me at my door last Christmas and says "Hi, I'm from the government and I'm here to help." He knows very well how I feel.

    Governor Scott of Vermont just said Trump should not be in office. Scott is a Republican. The dam is starting to crack.

    Right. Trump gave trillions to rich fancy lads last year.

    Why not take that money back and give it to healthcare instead of insuring I don't have to fly coach on my way to dressage championships.

    You could come with me to Morocco?
     
  12. I'm not lodging a complaint, and I'm certainly not using human shields in a discussion. If it results in bankruptcy, there will be Medicare for none and healthcare will continue to be meted out according to status (wealth).
     
  13. The programs are not even similar, they can only merge into expanded Medicaid.

    Ah yes, the naivety that government is a corruption-free entity that knows how to spend money better than the people who earn it from working. Along with the believe that a government run monopoly performs better than the private sector in providing goods and services.

    Adan Schiff has the evidence. He'll put Trump and Barr in prison. BY the way, why didn't Junior sit for and interview with Mueller? Why didn't Trump sit for a deposition under oath with Mueller? Why didn't Trump come to testify during the House Impeachment inquiry? Why don't Trump release his financial records? Why did Trump sue his own accounting firm to keep them from releasing documents to Congress? Why don't we have the Deutsche Bank documents?
