Why are healthcare costs so high? Well, because hospitals and insurers have all of us as individual captive markets, up against the wall of medical distress. The medical industry is not a free market, it is a fully un-free market.

To fix it, it takes (1) many years to fully address such a massive and complex institution, and (2) more government intervention on behalf of citizens to obtain the solution.
But hey, don't let facts or in-depth analysis get in your way. Just keep yelling polemic, fear-based rants.

"Health care prices are high in America because, because we typically allow them to be high. When [other countries] force prices to be lower, they get lower prices. When Americans force prices to be lower (via Medicare), we get lower prices"

UHC has been proven to be successful around the world. There's really no losers. The populace is healthier & more productive. The taxes that pay for it go to medical personnel, creating hundreds of thousands of middle-to-upper class wages. They also require education, creating further jobs. Those jobs, not just create a greater tax base, also put money in the economy where they buy more goods & services, creating more demand, creating more jobs.

Right now, that money is going into the hands of bureaucrats in the insurance industry, who do nothing. Most of the money is concentrated on few people, and the jobs they create in their demand for luxury items pales in comparison w/ the millions of people who demand smartphones or cars.

See how this works? I feel stupid explaining it, but if it's one thing I've learned over the past 15 years, is how dedicated conservatives have become in denying basic truths of the economy. You're not oppressed w/ taxes, they are the lowest they've been ever. Your collection of assault weapons won't prevent a government take-over. If America is threatened w/ autocracy, it will come where it has always come from, the political right.

1) Dictating the medical procedures that women are allowed to undergo

2) Dictating whether or not women are allowed to take contraceptives

3) Dictating the sexual activities that consenting adults are allowed to participate in

4) Dictating which sex any given citizen is allowed to marry

5) Dictating where Muslims get to build their community centers

6) Dictating which jobs (eg, military) are available to gay people and women

... and on, and on, and on. Right-wingers claiming to be for "small government" are full of shit. You don't want small government, you want PETTY government. Sorry, but if I want the government to intrude on anything, I'd rather it be something consequential like pollutants in my drinking water; not something inane like which set of sex organs my neighbor gets to suck on. Then again, I'm not a pearl-clutching little weakling, so maybe that's why I don't understand this quivering fear you people have towards gays and women.

Also, being such a Constitutional scholar, surely you realize that the liberals who argue back against you aren't infringing on your First Amendment rights. To do that, we'd have to actually, you know; imprison or fine you for your speech. I have never witnessed any liberal proposing fines or imprisonment for voicing conservative opinions, and I'm pretty sure you haven't either.

Calling you a dipshit isn't a First Amendment violation; it's merely us using OUR First Amendment rights to point out an obvious truth. If you don't believe me, feel free to call the ACLU and tell them I'm infringing on your rights by pointing out how idiotic your beliefs are; the volume of the laughter you'll hear should be proof enough.

I support a ban on assault rifles and stupid clip sizes. If you need that many damned bullets you are a disgrace to the second amendment and you need to get your worthless ass to a gun range and practice. You do not need to impede sane legislation designed to protect your children and the children of others from lunatics who should be in institutions rather than out in public banging away.

What the hell is wrong with you? Daddy didn't love you enough?

Ok, it doesn't say party affiliation, so you're covered.

Oh, I don't know...
How about the recent tyrannical push by Libs to ban Constitutionally-protected guns?

Your assertion that anyone forces you to join a religion is totally false. And just as we have to listen to the lisping-ignorance and utopian ideals of the Left, sometime y'all will have to hear some stuff that you don't agree with (its a 1st Amendment thing).

Keep your hands off my (legal) shit and quit spending money you don't have to pay for stuff you don't need.

Was that a joke about keeping healthcare costs down BTW?

I thought this was a parody account. It's not, it's promoted by The Manhattan Declaration. Crazy, scary people out there. Jesus.

Or perhaps those even more annoying laws that prevent you from forcing everyone else to join your religious denomination?

Or, maybe those public health-related laws intended to keep our public health expenses (and hence, taxes) down from easily preventable diseases.

Yes, we liberals are total monsters.
