Socialized Medicine

We can't afford it.  Some people like Michael Moore say that we should just divert funding for the war toward Socialized Medicine, but the fact of the matter is is that we can't afford the war either.  We are already borrowing money to finance a lot of the dumb programs already in place.  Government spending is out of control, and we need to exercise budget restraint now, not consider new areas to increase spending.

Being as how I can no longer differentiate sarcasm from honest sentiment on these boards I am going to assume you mean what you say.  As such, how else are we supposed to make decisions on policy apart from our personal experiences with the outcomes?  Are you saying that if everyone gets together and believes really hard the outcome will be any different?

In regards to my first comment I think there is a case for this politics board to be considered a form of high art.   So many confused angry and strong opinions all at odds with one another.  You can't even tell someone you agree with from someone you don't in the anonymous setting.  It's truly bewildering.
