It is not more costly and covers everyone. Why does that offend you? What is wrong is for-profit medicine. We are allowing corporations and greedy fucks to loot the ill.They will charge "all the traffic will bear".
    Anecdotal lies. If costs have come down, why is everyone paying more and why are leftist asshats claiming that costs are up because we don't have universal healthcare? You know, the same dumb lies with a different cover.

    The same thing happens with a thief. He puts money right back into the economy too.

    Making everyone a ward of the state is a core goal of Marxism. It's right there in the Communist Manifesto.

    Yes it is; how sad that our educational system has failed us so terribly. The Constitution was written to protect us FROM Government. These willful idiots want to protect Government from Trump.

    Agreed. Unfortunately Democrats would do that also with Medicare for all, Green New Deal, free college tuition.

    My former Congressman said he doesn't understand why Congress has such a low approval rating--they've given everybody everything they've ever wanted.

    But the government rather than the people decide where the money is spent. Unless you think Congress spends our money wisely it is better to let consumers decide what to do with their money.

    Partisan slant. When Obama left office the deficit was only about $400 billion. It was much higher when he took office because it was during a severe recession. It went down under Obama as the recession improved. Trump is driving it back up. You are comparing 8 years under Obama and 2 years under Trump. Both parties are financially irresponsible. Democrats tax and spend and Republicans borrow and spend.

    WRONG! Obama took office January 20, 2009. Democrats controlled the Congress and the deficit was at $458 Billion. Fiscal 2019 the deficit exceeded a trillion to $1.4 trillion for the very first time.

    Prior to Democrats taking control of the Congress the deficit had been in decline to $160 billion. Democrats OWN the massive trillion dollar deficits that were run up under Obama. The Obama stimulus plan added over a trillion to that deficit spending.

    The ONLY congress to ever balance a budget in the last 60 years was a Republican Congress. The claim that they are no different than Democrats is not born out by any factual data or information.

    The first FOUR years of the Obama Presidency had deficits in excess of $1 trillion. 2009; $1.413, 2010; $1.294, 2011; $1.299, 2012; $1.087.

    Republicans took back the House in 2010 picking up a net total of 63 seats. Spending started to decline. The economy was still wallowing in malaise. by 2013 the deficit had declined to $679 billion.

    The primary reason the deficit started ballooning in the Trump years was that full effect of Obamacare was delayed until Obama left office. Curious timing?

    During Democratically controlled Congress, and particularly when there is a Democrat in the White House, tax and spend Democrats do what they always do solving nothing. When Republicans control the purse strings, particularly when a Republican is in the White House, deficits are controlled and they typically pass tax reform that results in more money in the taxpayers pockets.

    Have you EVER seen a Democrat say "we need to reduce taxes". NEVER!

    I sure would love to hear you argue your case before your county tax collectors, who tax you thousands every year for County Hospital expenses, along with your property taxes- to pay for all those hundreds of thousands of people who use your County Hospitals because they don't have insurance.

    Trust me dude- You are paying out the nose for people who are not insured now- as you are just overlooking it!
