Look at my short post.
Did I mention 'communism' anywhere?? Democratic socialism and communism are two different things, which, you obviously need to learn about.
It's the distribution of wealth into services that is the point. When you starve an institution of vital resources, the quality of that institution goes down. So, if someone else say 'hey, let me run it for you, but you'll have to subsidise me and let me keep the profit' then it will always look like someone else is doing the best job!
Tell me something, is there a single state that doesn't get government grants? I mean you're making out that all states are self funded which, as you know, is untrue. Those grants are distributed to the state and they choose what to do with it. Is that not so?
Your argument verges on the ridiculous conflating entrepreneurship with health care! These are two completely separate subjects united by a common goal. Nobody wants an entrepreneur to stop being such, but there are times more contribution into the system is needed. I mean, how much wealth does one need before it becomes redundant?
The polls currently show that 70% of all Americans are in favour of M4A. That includes republicans!
So the question is,do you believe healthcare is a Human Right? If not, I can see where you're coming from and the allowance of children and adults to die is just your way of acceptance that "survival of the fittest" is applicable to everything; no intervention.
If you do believe healthcare is a Human Right, then the input of universal basic care is necessary right across the board (not "access to healthcare" in the way that it is now) and I would have to ask wtf is this discussion about??!
I'm sorry I didn't mention socialism in my last post. If you know anything about governments, socialism and communism are very very close to one another. And in the matter of progression most governments that are socialist end up going toward communism. Socialism is that great form of government that brought the USSR to its knees, It is also no secret that socialism does not work. The States do not function from grants from the Federal government of the United States. They function from state taxes. The federal system is on its own. It's the way the founders of this country designed it.
Each State is supposed to function by itself and allow the citizens, since there are 50 states, 50 different ways to live. Each State is actually a country within the collective 50. So if one State wanted to go full bore Socialist, it can as long as the citizens voted for it. And if the ones that don't want to live under socialism could simply move to a State of their choice. All of this is confused because the Federal government takes charge and wants to be the big bully. So your absolutely WRONG about the States funding. The only grants I know about is the highway system and the federal government funds that and really only because the highway and freeway system is made for military use in case of an emergency.
Please tell me what institutions in America are STARVED of resources? I can't think of one???????? WTF is M4A? I've never heard of it. And let me tell you about polls. Don't believe them. They are rigged to sway people, like you. If you don't believe me about polls, ask Hillary Clinton. By the polls, she had the White House twice.
If you're referring to our healthcare system, your 100% WRONG. We had the BEST healthcare in the world before being lied to by a socialist by the name Obama. We didn't get to keep our doctors, We didn't get to keep our health plans, And it is NOT, I repeat NOT CHEAPER !! My healthcare cost has gone from $100.00 a month to $700.00 a month.
If you're hearing anything good about it, it's from people that had no insurance and now I'm paying for people I don't even know while my bank account gets smaller and smaller every month.
No, healthcare is not a right. If it where a right doctors would have to work for free. So no.
More contribution is not needed. We have funded and funded and funded and the systems are so broken they cannot work. One reason they don't work is because once in the federal system, people that cannot do the work cannot, I repeat CANNOT be fired. So if you cannot rid the cancer from the body, the body eventually dies, my friend.
Here's a question back to you. How in the world have societies made it this far when in the beginning man had no doctors, no teachers, no government. But that man survived over centuries without a government protecting him from all the chaos in the world. See, you don't need all these things you have been brainwashed to believe you do. When America was first born there was no healthcare but it survived for almost 200 years without it and nobody wanted it!!! Until the socialist came around and then everything went to hell.
One more thing you're 100% wrong about. Republicans are NOT in favor of this crappy healthcare system. I imaging you're getting your information from a democratic website.
And you really don't know what "living free" is. My mother was born in the UK and she and her family wanted out. My mother never wanted to go back to the UK. We visited many times and I love the history but not the government. You should hop on a plane and go to the USA and not NEW YORK, go out into the Plain States and meet the people in REAL America and your view of us will change dramatically.
Do you own your home or do you live with your parents? Do you rent or own that home. Do you have a job or are you still in school. If I were you, don't come to the US to live until you learn what life is all about. The US will ruin you with your thought process. The US did not become the world power it once was under socialism. The US is declining now and we Americans have to put it back together so that when you need healthcare you can come here and get the best the world has to offer. Right now our healthcare sucks, you don't believe me but I don't care. I'm here and youi're there and I'm living the reality and you're reading of my reality in some website that has the facts wrong.
I'm a simple man that just want to live in the country I grew up in not what it has become now. This situation we are currently in needs a lot of work because it's not working but YOU think it is.
All I can tell you is visit and find out on your own. Don't read about it. I know a lot of the UK because I visit there frequently. Last time I was there Brixet was the headlines. I don't keep up with your politics because I'm not there and live in it. But your country has its own problems and your healthcare is not that great either. If you think your healthcare is great, you should have seen what we had for healthcare in the 80"s and 90"s, it was fantastic. Nobody talked about healthcare because nobody had a problem with it. And look at us now, it's all we talk about. So if so many people are happy with our healthcare system then why is such a topic of discussion? Because it is a problem and you're not being told the truth. Simple as that. Someone is lying to you and if I were you, I'd find out who that is and get them out of your life because no friend should lie to another friend.
So there, my friend!!!
