Ain't a crowd arguing against single payer systems other than health. Nobody argues for multiple systems of national defense or citizens getting differing levels of protection from enemies foreign or domestic. Seems we have a network of pretty cool interstate highways and any legal vehicle can transit them.When there are fire or police systems the concept is equal coverage. I worked as an EMT and can assure you there was never a difference in standard of care. But police and fire,and emergency medical and even military protection are bullshit and lies until healthcare is guaranteed to everyone here-citizen or not. That should be the actual truth of America-if you post it and you believe a poem on a statue in New York, than either be it or tear that statue down. America posted a promise and we each need to answer for whether or not we are liars.

(111,161 posts)and I pointed out that the Free Market Fairy had done a shitty job on health care in the US. Buggers have killed us for over 30 years in the name of increasing profits.
It was a monumentally silly argument and no one bought it.
