How do people interact with any facet of our government, from police, to the IRS, to DMVs, and think, "wow I can't wait until these people are controlling healthcare on a daily basis"?

I think they should open the VA clinics to the general public for one month while simultaneously shutting down all other clinics... Leave the hospitals and emergency rooms open of course...

They'll get it right this time. They really think they will. I believe their need to virtue signal and have mommy steal for them just blinds them.

CMS has higher satisfaction ratings than private insurance.

That's how.

You have then exposed them to single provider government provided health care. To be relevant to the issue at hand you would need to put everyone of Medicare or Medicaid for a month.

If going to the doctor was like going to the DMV, I'd opt to treat myself.

I am very fearful of a state run system. We already saw with Jindal a purely political stunt with handling the Ocare money.

People are wanting European style healthcare, but they won't like the healthcare that Europeans get.

The issue i have is this sea saw between democrats and Republicans. Are we going to see a new political stunt every 4 to 8 years destabalize the system?
Are we going to have the opposing party undermining the system and facilitating its failure as the right wing has done?

That's better. I thought you actually were leaning toward the middle for a moment.

I would suggest the answer to the above question is yes as long as the other side forces through a plan without a single vote from their friends on the other side of the aisle as the leftists did.

Well Trump and congress just scuttled a bipartisan negotiation so they can score some political points and optics. The dems and moderate reps are willing to deal...

How was healthcare provided prior to Obamacare? It was through you being responsible enough to purchase insurance for yourself and family, or if not, the state provided charitable care. This charitable care came at a discount to the state (taxpayers) for those without medical insurance. This was a much better system than what is now in place driven by back room deals cut by the physicians alliance and pharmaceutical companies in Obamacare. Obamacare is basically catastrophic care since the premiums are out of hand considering necessity of government subsidies along with deductibles that are astronomical.

Nope. It's the same small number of posters that use the cuck lingo. In fact, most people on this board don't even use "cuck".

He has to negotiate and deal. The Rs don't have enough votes to do what the Ds did.

It amazes me that posters who call people "cucks", vermin, and counts based on their politics have not been banned.

I mean, we have one admitted cuck here so we can't really ban that word.

They could change cuck to duck like they do for c un t to count.

I don't care about vermin. Some of the lib trolls are indeed vermin at times.
