Let's be real for a minute, everyone knows that universal healthcare isn't free.

It's subsidized by taxes that all citizens contribute to help one another. Nothing is free. What it really comes down to is the fact that Republicans and Conservatives are just selfish and cruel. They have a "frick you, I got mine" attitude and can't be bothered to help the little man. They might use the excuse "well, we don't have the money for it." Yet, have no problem whatsoever spending trillions on endless wars in the Middle East.

What a simplistic stupid comment

I absolutely wouldn't mind paying $5/$10 out of my paycheck if it meant that I didn't have to worry about starting a GoFundMe account if I ever get seriously sick or hell, even have to cover the cost of an ambulance ride.

What a childlike rationale.
FAT PERSON - I already blew my diet by eating a cheeseburger, I may as well have ice cream, too
BANKRUPT PERSON- I bought a new truck that I can’t afford, I might as well get a new boat to pull behind it.

The wars in the mideast has cost us just a little under 2.5 trillion for nearly twenty years. LINK
Universal healthcare would cost us 32 trillion for ten years. LINK
Those are numbers that has been confirmed by nonpartisan studies.
Yes, we literally cannot afford universal healthcare.

Oh look. Another liberal who thinks that they aren't selfish because they're willing to spend my money to help somebody else or themselves. Why do you stupid fricks thank who you vote for is a measure of caring? Let me ask you a question. Are you helping somebody right now pay for their medical bills? If not why not? Are you a selfish bastard?

The only difference between liberals and conservatives on this one is that I want to be able to help based on what I want to help and you want to force me to help in accordance with your wishes. As per usual I like freedom and you don't

ROFLMAO
So you are willing to pay for a tiny fraction of what it costs to insure you in return for full insurance? Well how magnanimous of you

How much do you donate to the cause of indigent healthcare each year?
Posted on 4/15/19 at 5:23 am to GeauxPhillies26
$5-$10 a paycheck? So that’s $60-$120 a year. Of course you wouldn’t mind. And here in lies the problem, your understanding of what things cost is a little off.

I don’t like that either and no we don’t have the money for that either.
Charging everything on a credit card doesn’t mean you have money.

Democrats mostly do not pay taxes on income. So they consider it free.
Posted on 4/15/19 at 5:46 am to GeauxPhillies26
Liberals demand taxpayers pay for their healthcare, and you think it’s conservatives who are selfish.

While I am not arguing Medicare for All is "affordable" or politically possible even if it was affordable I think that number is significantly disingenuous. Even assuming that is the accurate cost it does not go the next step and reduce that amount by the total (or a significant portion) of the private health insurance payments currently made.
The actual "cost" is significantly more complex when you consider the above, along with the costs the government pays now, the economic impact of moving the majority of health insurance from the private to the public sector, the economic impact of potentially a more healthy workforce along with the hopefully lower cost of treating people who can seek earlier care and prevention.
I would love to see a true number for the additional cost or savings to the country as a whole for Medicare for All but complex economic numbers like this are never accurate.
