    In theory, auto insurance would go down too.

    She did adopt all of Palin's pet quips when the inbred Alaskans were all the rage.

    There's no 'deflection' in observing that you have no idea WTF you're talking about even w/something THAT basic.

    It has to be done at a national level for economies of scale both in addressing needs and in cost savings.

    Marxists like you have no concept of this.
    You say the words “economies of scale” yet I wonder if you really know what it means

    http://lostinstockholm.com/2012/10/2...versus-sweden/

    Sweden is the same size geographically as Commiefornia

    Commiefornia has 4 times the population than Sweden

    Commiefornia has almost 4 times the GDP than Sweden

    Sweden has free healthcare.

    So I ask again. How can Commiefornia not do it and Sweden can? Surely Sweden doesn’t have greater economies of scale that a state four times its population does it?

    Want to try again?

    If our healthcare is so bad then why aren’t people from the US flocking to these other countries?

    Why do people from other countries flock here if our healthcare is so poor?

    That is becoming painfully obvious.

    Maybe you can answer these questions

    How did you reconcile profiting and building wealth while working for a system you now despise?

    How many people died because of YOUR decisions?

    Why didn’t you stop it?

    Lots of Americans leave the US for healthcare. Look up medical tourism.

    You sure it wasn’t “white privilege”?

    I don’t believe you were successful because of hard work. It was only because you are white and benefitted from institutional racism.

    My job was extremely rewarding because as a direct result of my decisions Maternity health , Emergency services and Cardiac care improve exponentially .. and that was a huge surprise to me.

    I liked the company until Richard Scott became CEO and they got caight up in Medicare fraud.

    Irrelevant. They don't all have the means or time.

    They don't.

    Being tall, pretty and well-educated didn't hurt either.

    That is a lie

    Everyone in this thread say your job only exists to deny care. You are saying the opposite and claiming to have expanded care

    Both can’t be true

    Yes, I know exactly what it mean, troll. That's why I used it. It's clear you don't.

    CA has to spend money on federal contributions that it otherwise wouldn't have to if we had an actual universal national healthcare system.

    And, no, no healthcare is free, moron.

    Why can't Marxists and felons like you EVER think one step ahead?

    Given the size of Commiefornia’s economy relative to Sweden, one would think they could afford both. No?
