SOCIALISM IS KILLING OUR YOUTH

srsly

Why are Americans still in the Cold Par/Post WWII mentality that "BETTER DED DEN RED".

I mean, shit, sometimes we DO have to take care of our citizens and not just worry about price...maybe...(did I cross the line by saying that?)

Fuck, I like Medicare. If it weren't for that I wouldn't been able to afford the-aw fuck it, before this turns into a thread about me.

But yeah, a little socialism never hurt anybody you fucking money hungry pieces of shit GO CHINA.

Well, I do agree with most Libertarian beliefs.

healthcare costs about twice as much per capita as Canada and western europe

Yes, because the middle class are buying less with more money. Which is why I mentioned that the U.S. dollar is very devalued at this point. The dollar is valued at 96% less than what it was valued in 1914. This affects every single exchange in the nation, not just healthcare.

We need to find a way to reduce healthcare costs, and in order for republicans to redeem themselves (I take you as a libertarian, but whatever) they need to stop pretending there is no problem and actually do something about it.

I wholeheartedly agree. I'm not going to lie, the Republican party has most definitely lost its way and has strayed so far from its original principals that it would appear they are almost indistinguishable from the Democrat party, in respect to Government expansion (although most are voting nay on healthcare reform).

If I wasn't pro single payer, I would be in support of anti trust suits. The healthcare industry is monopolized, and it's gouging the consumer.

Once again, wholeheartedly agree. There needs to be anti trust suits filed against these companies and split them up into smaller independent companies so there's more competition. Having more companies compete with each other in the free market will drive prices down, thus allowing the consumer to afford healthcare much more easily.

It worked on Standard Oil, it worked on AT&T, I wish it had worked with Microsoft too, but they are being watched closely.

But I believe that the free market would be able to reform healthcare, not Government. I believe that the Government should not get involved, except to split up these companies and allow much more competition than what is already available.
