XPO | Trumps Trade War

Yes, we all will pay for it through taxes, but our tax rates (people in our income level) won't change much at all.
Right, if a single payer system is enacted it will be paid for by VATs ask your Canadian pals how the feel about the 15% vat that they have.
 
No, that's a ridiculous interpretation of what I wrote.



In a colloquial sense, Yes. (I'm assuming you mean "redistribution")

Billionaires should not exist.



Even if this is true, they deserve the same care you or I get, and I guess this is where we diverge. I don't think those people deserve lesser or no care. This is a fundamental question about morality and the preservation of life. Some people believe that the poor should suffer and die because they are poor, some people do not. I am of the latter ilk.
Life is all about choices. We all make choices everyday. To me is sound like you hate the choice you made for yourself. You seem mad you are not a billionaire. Just look at the list and see who on it.
What makes these Democrats so funny is how the bash the capitalist system we have yet they all made there money using it. For some reason I don't see Trump on that list but Bloomberg is #9

One, don't insult me by calling me a Democrat. Two, please don't make assumptions of my motivations. Three, we are all born into this world and must engage with it. This does not mean we should not fight for change that we think is correct, even from within that worlds systems.
 
I have read recently that Workers in the U.S. pay on average 13% of their income on healthcare premiums alone.

So how are they going to pay for it. Ask Bernie or Warren how they plan to pay for it and you can hear the crickets cheeping. The same can be said for the free college and wiping out college load dept.

Wiping out debt means not paying for it by it's very definition.

Back to health care both Bernie and Warren have outlined ways to pay for their ideas. All you have to do is ask and actually listen. Or google and read.

Bernie has also outlined funding for his debt free college plan.
 
Nowhere. And that fact does not matter at all, lol. I don't particularly care if we call it a 'right', just create a single payer system that's free at the point of service for all Americans. That's it. The pedantic nonsense has to stop. People shouldn't die because they are poor or their jobs don't provide insurance.
Then open the floodgates!! Let every sick, ill, or injured person in the world come here and enjoy the best medical care on earth! Using your reasoning it shouldn’t matter if they are citizens or not.
 
but that's your thinking

So you want re-disputation of wealth then. Here a little fact for you to chew on. Not everyone pays taxes and not every pays the same percentage of taxes. Some in no way can a single payer system be fair or equal because the ones that get up everyday and go to work will be taxed more then the one that do nothing yet they still get the same care I would.
Ya like fed ex pays no taxes , fred got money back on tax returns, your money ! Billionaires rule keep voting for them

Did you not read what I wrote? I'm talking about the United States and i even specified Americans to avoid some goober making this silly ass argument.

But if you wanna talk about a worldwide health system, I am game, comrade.


Also it's a bit of a stretch to say we have the best medical care on earth.

It's cool though because they have a choice as to which doctor will refuse to provide care because the insurance company deems it too costly.
 
On a globe scale the U.S citizens rank well behind the socialized medicine countries including Canada in terms of overall health. I’m not saying we need to go that route but it does tell us something.

Do you not realize nothing is free, where do you think all this money for health care would come from? Why do you get to determine what is a right?

You literally just quoted me where I said I dont care if we call it a right and are asking me who I am to determine what is a right. And i have explained the free part in a couple spots. It would help if you'd actually read.
 
We 13% of our income on average just for premiums alone . That does not include co-pays and uncovered needs . I have heard if that is factored in the actual cost is more like 25-30 % of annual income . So if your talking about it comparison to a 15 % vat it pretty much wipes that argument out
. You can bitch about Obama but a least he attempted to do something about it . I have not heard any alternative plan from the Republicans that differed in any way from what we had . I do know the Republicans are running on not taking away Obama care until the next election. Too much resistance from their constituents about taking it away.

You have to come at the healthcare issue with an open mind . If you allow tainted politics ,insurance co and healthcare providers lobbyists and marketing groups tell you what’s best we will never get this resolved . The fact that there to much money to be made by healthcare professionals and corporations is the reason it will continue to skyrocket if left unchecked.
 
I still think there is much we can do to stabilize healthcare cost without having to go to full blown socialized healthcare system. That being said a medical system as we have now base on capitalistic principals as a foundation to care.( profit over everything) Which going to continue leave many with substandard care or bankrupt.
