What we did to be labeled and logged. Burn down businesses? Loot private property? No, we asked for a fair and honest election. We are calling them on their fraud.

She does not fear the will of the people. It's as if she will steal her election in perpetuity. She & the squad.
If I might ask are you American? No harm intended just thought I'd ask after I saw the word "We".

That country is fast approaching dystopian level. It's crazy that the elections are this close. So Americans really want another 4 years of this circus?

Well anything they see they should take it like that. They haven't learned any lessons from the Bush administration
America is by and Large a Christian and Conservative country. You'll be kidding yourself if you thought otherwise.

Respect to the Republicans. Those dudes don't mess around. Time after time, election after election they come out and vote huge numbers.

Healthcare is not a right in the US is one big issue. Secondly, our system of economy is primarily Capitalist! This system is the bedrock of our history as a country, the ideology looks to limit the influence of Government in certain areas of lives and that includes healthcare. The Republicans who are textualist when it comes to the interpretation of the constitution and our ideologies don’t want any interference from government.. They call it socialism and compare it to extreme communist situations..

The UK and Canada practice the National single payer system with the NHS while the US practices the multi-payer system with the private healthcare carrying the bulk of the load because it is in the spirit of Capitalist America. Government gets involved through Medicaid and Medicare only for those who meet very strict financial resource (total resources must be under 2K before you can get Medicaid), age or disability criteria. So you can see it does not cover the vast number of Americans.

The only way you can get healthcare treatment in the US is if you go to the ER. Legally, no hospital ER can deny you healthcare if you walked into the ER. They may ask you for your insurance card but will not deny you care because you don’t have it. This is why a lot of undocumented immigrants use the ER. Well, guess who absorbs the unpaid ER bills? We do!! Through ridiculous city/ state taxes.

Until healthcare becomes a right in the US we will continue to suffer with this system. There is more to it that I want to discuss but this is the basis. Again, this issue transcends party lines.
Thanks for this. Enlightening!

Your last two paragraphs says it all really. So in essence you are still paying for it one way or another. Am I right?

I am Dumbfounded to find that there are First world countries were Health is not considered a right. Good Healthcare is a Need not a Want.

PDPGuy:
The main Republican argument against it is that “socialized medicine” will enable the government to choose your doctor, determine who gets surgery, determine who lives or dies, etc
Lool this arguement is silly to say the least. All they have to do is take a look at the countries that practice the kind of system they are against and they'll see that line of thought is dead on arrival. Worse case scenario your surgery will be delayed by a bit. However if you can not stand the waiting times, there is always the private option.

I do not think members of both party are against it..that is why Obama gave them Obamacare..But for 10years,the GOP has been going back and forth trying to repeal and replace but it has always come to naught..crazy people
It seems to me that their core voting demographic might be dead against it too so I see why they might be trying to appease them. All I have to say is that sickness and diseases are no respecter of persons or Party lines.

We never even begin talk about the cost of prescription medications!!! That one na another segment on its own under healthcare.
How the heck do you guys do it? The Lobbyists must be made up of extremely wealthy and powerful individuals/organisations.

It is an American problem we have refused to address, whether Democrat or Republican. It’s like that elephant in the room everyone knows but refuses to solve.
Pardon my ignorance but what are the arguements against it? Maybe I have been blindsided by the Free Healthcare service we get over here because I see no reason why members from both parties are dead against it.

You get it bro! I have what people call a “great insurance” but if I tell you what I contribute per paycheck, you go fear! There are those who pay high premiums and still get heavy bills are everything. They make like 3 adjustments after billing insurance, it never ends.
Good gawd and this is with you having a very good job. Imagine those living on or below the poverty line. Gut wrenching really.

Even those with insurance still pay a good chunk of deductable. I don't know how they don't too.
Despicable and mindblowing at the same time. Just like you, I have already told my folks that if I manage to catch any kind of deadly disease whilst holidaying stateside, they should let me hop on the next available flight back to my Island. I am willing to take that risk.

Judging by the percentage split, I think the support for a government run healthcare plan transcends party lines. Healthcare has become ridiculously expensive and has continued to get worse and it doesn’t matter if you are Democrat or Republican and that is what those numbers are saying.
I thank God for the NHS every single day. I don't know how you guys do it to be honest.
