    The entire thing needs to be remade.....the problem is that our leaders suck now....we dont have the required competence.

    As America crashes I expect lifespans will plummet much like we saw in Russia after the collapse of the Soviet Union.
    This illegal illegitimate regime that runs America is at fault...not me.... they do not represent me and I have long objected to their crimes against humanity.

    He has the most felons and arrests if any president. He hired over 200 lobbyists in 4 years. He is in the mud and loving it. We have almost all agencies run by people who were regulated by the agency. They were positioned to destroy them from the inside. These 4 years have been a terrible disaster.

    Again, we can go into ideology and feels over reals, but the most important point is that having the 1% pay for welfare programs improves the country. That's why America does better under Democrats.
    But why SHOULD they pay for it?. It is not OUR money,... it is their money. They pay most of the taxes as it is. I do not believe in punishing success. If anything I believe in punishing failure.

    I’m glad I got out of healthcare when I did because it’s just going to get worse.

    Reason being is because it’s already partially socialized and it’s had the effect of depressing wages for healthcare workers. Basically, because reimbursements have fallen off hospitals are forced to do more with less. As in more, with less staff.

    Granted, part of it is because the cost of healthcare delivery has gotten outrageous but there’s no denying the influence of so many patients being on Medicare and Medicaid has had on reimbursements.

    Because it creates an overall better country, which they get to enjoy. And they only made their money because of the working-class in the first place. They didn't build the roads and bridges that they need to make their billions.

    The closest you ever came to healthcare was spraying roach poison in the hospital basement.

    They may not have built the infrastructure,....but they damn sure paid for it. Some thru private investment,....some thru taxation.
