So you think spending over 8 trillion more over ten years is a good deal?

I have a couple of months before I'm on Medicare and out of the private insurance market, I'm glad.

it’s a broken situation, very important, very challenging.

id rather spend my own money on my own behalf, making my own decisions, than have the feds donut for me.

put the word “public” in front of
anything - golf course, park, school, rest room - and it implies something that’s inferior to its private counterpart, very inefficient, dysfunctional, filthy, scary. i have no strong desire for my family’s healthcare to be run that way.

are you retiring in a short time? If so, a sincere best wishes, best of
luck.

Apparently you’re missing out on National Parks, the VA, Bethpage Black, NYS ski areas, plenty of sports stadiums and are lead to believe that no other country has good publicly funded healthcare.

The national parks aren't great because of the government. God gets credit for that.

You're right, one great public course means that public is better than private.


"no other country has good publicly funded healthcare"

Oh, I admit that some countries have great public healthcare. They tend to me tiny countries that are mostly homogeneous. So they can't compare to the US.

Can you show me a country of 300 milllion plus people, which has an open border with a third world nation, which has top notch public health care?

I'll just await your reply.

There’s more than that and you know it.

So what you’re saying is we are capable of putting men on the moon, being the world leader in technology, are the richest country in the world, etc. but because we are not all anglos and share a border with another country with brown people, healthcare is impossible.
It seems to be what you believe in your statement above.
Jim it is every single other developed country has some way of making sure that people have access to healthcare and better outcomes with lower costs.
Find one that doesn’t
I’ll wait
