Never let a crisis go to waste?
Seems like a sick mentality to me.

reacting is not necessarily evil.

what happens if they cant afford it LOL

Then they are covered under Medicaid.

For me, healthcare is probably the issue that abortion is for staunch Republicans. Anything this crisis can do to encourage healthcare reform is a good thing.

too bad it takes a crisis for anything good to happen.

you dont have health care for all, youre not protecting, thats what youre debating about on TV

People who refuse to buy health insurance need to take personal responsibility for that decision.

Individual insurance plans that cost hundreds of dollars a month feature very high deductibles in the thousands of dollars that can themselves be financially ruinous.

I don't mind disagreeing with people until something is done about it. Like Winston Churchill famously said, "You can always count on the Americans to do the right thing after they have tried everything else."

I don't necessarily expect US healthcare to meaningfully reform in my lifetime. But it will eventually.

Then they are covered under Medicaid.

Often not the case in red states that have never expanded Medicaid.

Yep, often the case. But I wouldn't trade the overarching system we live under in the US for the one Europeans live under as dictated by Brussels.

id take the european system over yours, but theirs has major problems too like what you just said.

nader calls the US system a 2 party dictatorship. i agree, it doesnt matter who you voted for, obama, bush, reagan, clinton, goldman sachs wins.

Medicaid covers what, 70 million people? That's poor people who actually can't afford it and as the greatest country on earth we help them. As for the others....

People want things handed to them for nothing. You and I both know there are a lot of people saying they can't afford health insurance who could if they weren't financially irresponsible.

Just different perspectives. Neither is always wrong. I couldn't imagine many Canadians would listen to a review of the main points of each system and prefer the US over the European.

It's cool. I'd similarly up trying to discuss all things Canadian even if I regularly tuned in to CBC. Just not enough to engage in meaningful conversations about the country's politics and lifestyles.

 

[Poop Head]

yes but have you ever heard of collective responsibility, or social responsibility.

this America dawg

 

[Box Ox]

I'm sure a lot of people had to look up what a meat wallet is.

Wouldn't that generally be referring to @MyTripisCut 's sister? Been drinking tonight and could be mistaken.

Trump disbanded NSC pandemic unit that experts had praise

 

[watdaflock?]

Wrong ... Cuomo has!

Too bad your knowledge is not as extensive as your vocabulary!

Congrats. Trump finally did one thing right and got a compliment from the New York Governor.
