Please list those socialist policies and how they are better than their non socialist policies and how they translate to a nation with a huge illegal alien population and some 15% descendants of freed slaves, over a huge geographical area.

Man I agree with you, but we are already forced to pay taxes, can't escape it. I'd rather pay a little more in taxes so I can stop worrying about my employer deciding for me which greedy arse agency gets my money, or the headache of changing insurers if I change jobs. It would make life easier and we would keep more of our money. Btw under the current system you are already paying for other people's coverage. No need to get upset dude, just discussing our differences of opinion.

There is literally a thread about it on the front page, but the chamber of ignorance refuses to believe in science or the work of scholars anymore. Do you really think our healthcare system for example is ideal given the conditions you listed? People are still getting free healthcare. Hell, hospitals around here write off emergency room visits for poor people. Who do you think is already paying for that? You are, with bloated costs. The industry is already socialized, they just don't tell you specifically so you're not upset about it and are content to pay more because 'murica.

How many genders are there again? According to the party of science?

Member one of the “scholars” who was involved in Obamacare saying they got it through thanks to the stupidity of the voters?

So either that is a bald-faced lie, or Dems are too ignorant regarding those supposedly successful policies to stand in reasonable judgement.

Think . . . . if you are capable.
Does long term price fixing ever outpace free market production?

Put another way, if Nordstrom's was ordered by the government to provide its products at Walmart prices so that everyone would be able access Nordstrom's goods, how do you think that would go?

Why do you Democrats continually lie about having to pay for others ?

An insurance company is for profit , they aren't going to pay for some guy who didn't pay.

Have you ever looked at an explanation of benefits ?

Democrat politicians spout the shite about paying for others, because the people who vote for them are so fricking stupid.

Here’s the thing. You’re perfectly free to pay more taxes than required. You can pay as much as you want.

Hell, if you REALLY want to help, you can give your money directly to those in need and cut out the wasteful and bloated govt. why do you need the govt to force you to help?

You're right, I don't know the inner workings of your employee benefit structure but it sounds like it's fantastic for you. Not everyone can work for your company, not everyone can work for a large company and furthermore, they might not want to.

So I'm glad that you are happy with your setup and I hope you live a long, wonderful life.
