re: I’d like to be armed with facts against Bernie.

Bernie has no way to pay for the insane things he is proposing except for boosting taxes to historic highs across the board.

You could tax the wealthy at a 100% rate and it still wouldn’t be enough money. Taxes would have to go up for everyone including the middle and lower class. It’s a recipe that has been disastrous every single time it has been tried.

He has no funding plans for any of his crazy programs.

Are you dealing with some kind of doctor shortage in your area? I can typically make an appointment and get seen the same day for non emergency stuff

Every single one of those items would put a huge hurting on our economy, and if even half of them were implemented, would destroy it.

Plus the federal guaranteed minimum wage laws. how wouldn’t that lead to decades high unemployment and a ton of small business going under? We’d be a welfare state in no time if all these policies actually passed. Like Detroit on a national level. You know TDS dems will root for their own demise because they’d score a point against Trump since he said we’d never be a socialist state

Ok.

That isn’t the issue that impacts American healthcare and health spending.

The big issue is the American population.

Again, there is very little that is comparable between the US and Holland.

Let’s look at obesity rates:

The prevalence of obesity was 39.8% and affected about 93.3 million of US adults in 2015~2016.

In the Netherlands, it is about 20%, approximately half of the USA’s rate and a total population size of 3.4 million obese.

What doesn’t dawn on people like you, who have zero interaction with the medical field outside of going to your doctor, if you even go, is that the USA’s problem isn’t medical spending or health insurance.

It is our own citizenry.

When the ACA was passed and was actually functioning during Obama’s tenure, predictions stated that it would increase primary care, which would decrease ER visits and increase the health of our populous.

It did none of those.

We are not applicable to other countries when it comes to medicine because there are no other countries as brazenly unhealthy.

Others are catching up, but we are in a league of our own.

You want to help?

Stop pushing fat acceptance.

Read the Cliff’s Notes for “Atlas Shrugged,” and “The Wealth of Nations.”

Bernout is selectively objective.

Go listen to his speech from San Antonio after the Nevada Caucus, he touched base on every damn issue he would like to turn upside down in this country, gubberment housing for all, wrecking heathcare, free college for all, etc. He is a human wrecking ball to everything and everyone that built this country. Phuccck him!
