tip: I do not want to be a likable crazy homeless personI actually like crazy homeless people so long as they stay nonviolent.
I have advocated for solutions to homelessness including mental treatment. However I think there are no easy solutions or we would have it already. We simply have too many people we cannot support, asylums for the untreatable were closed and now the streets have to care for them. Add to this millions of new illegal aliens straining our social fabric and you have a recipe for disaster.tip: I do not want to be a likable crazy homeless person
tip 2: most crazy homeless people do not want to be crazy homeless people
tip 3: while mental health care is not cheap, homeless people are also not cheap either. Not every crazy homeless person would take the handout, but for those who would, the state should give it.
The only way I could support single payer is if the cost did not exceed 3% of income and a deductible of $1,000 would still apply to keep people from going to the doctor for no reason. The $1,000 would be withheld from tax refunds if not paid.Besides the difference in cost, I'm really happy I don't have to worry about what kind of plan I'm on how to pay and deduct for different services. Seems overly complicated and expensive.
Yes, 3% of 25k a year versus 3% of those making 250k a year. Your generosity and compassion for the 99% is noted. Because you cant comprehend health care or shared risk doesn’t mean all of us don’t. I make a good salary and have no problem paying more in single payers if it meant those less fortunate than me could get health but I just a loser woke AmericanThe only way I could support single payer is if the cost did not exceed 3% of income and a deductible of $1,000 would still apply to keep people from going to the doctor for no reason.

It’s called projecting.I don't care what facts or logic or reason or empathy you use, this guy will ALWAYS vote and support the shittiest of the Republican party in regards to any policy such as healthcare and any other socio-economic issue. Always.
But your health care cost is currently 18% of GDP. How would that work? How should the the rest of cost be covered?The only way I could support single payer is if the cost did not exceed 3% of income and a deductible of $1,000 would still apply to keep people from going to the doctor for no reason.

In a negotiation, you always start low. My proposal calls for a 3% tax with a $1,000 deductible to make sure people dont see a doctor just because they are lonely.But your health care cost is currently 18% of GDP. How would that work? How should the the rest of cost be covered?
Here in Denmark we use around 11% of our GDP and I think around 8% of the income taxes are used for health care.
This is another example of you making shit up with no evidence. Unless someone is a hypochondriac, nobody is visiting doctors for no reason. Fuck off with that nonsense....with a $1,000 deductible to make sure people dont see a doctor just because they are lonely.
And here it is again. Tell me what country takes anywhere close to half your income for socialized medicine. It's complete bullshit. Tell me again about the billions of immigrants crossing the southern border. I could use a laugh.Giving up half your income is simply not appealing.
The best way to keep cost down in health care is to have a healthy population ie. prevention is better than treatment.In a negotiation, you always start low. My proposal calls for a 3% tax with a $1,000 deductible to make sure people dont see a doctor just because they are lonely.
If it winds up costing more then we can come up with a price that is reasonable but not unbearable. Giving up half your income is simply not appealing.
Conservatives make it a big deal among themselves to take pride in being responsible, whatever the hell they fantasize that to be, so they are naturally suspicious of others fucking away their honestly earned tax dollars by spending it say, on seeing a doctor out of loneliness, because, of course, they themselves crave attention and would gladly drop your tax dollars on a whim we’re it not for being made to feel inferior by acting that way.I don’t know…one of my favorite hobbies is seeing my doctor for random things. I enjoy the long waits and the miracle symptom fixer pills they prescribe me that have side affects worse than the issue they are trying to address. Like who doesn’t like going to the doctors for no particular reason? I can’t think of a better way to spend my day.

In a capitalist system huge profits can be made on unregulated production of junk food. Only profit matters to the walking dead.The best way to keep cost down in health care is to have a healthy population ie. prevention is better than treatment.
The most effective ways to do this is make unhealthy things expensive and have a well educated population.
If someone is lonely they are going to blow through that $1000 in the first week and then go to the doctor daily for the rest of the year. Maybe just stick to losing money in the stock market instead of dreaming up ways for us all to lose more money in the healthcare system?In a negotiation, you always start low.

If I had the power, the first thing I would do is not allow land sales to non Americans. The next thing is to ban sales to LLCs. Only individuals can buy single family homes and only to occupy full time or as a second home, limit 2. Beyond that, you are just hoarding affordable housing from the public.
Like I said, no easy solutions.
And what makes you think private healthcare would be/can be affordable?Ive already successfully argued against single payer, so the only remaining option is affordable private healthcare.
Oh trust me, there are plenty of people who show up in the ER for whatever reason. Some for STD checks, pregnancy tests. Some for very simple reasons that could easily be addressed by an urgent care or PCP. I actually advocate for a small barrier of entry to the ER. Something like $50-100 per visit or there abouts.This is another example of you making shit up with no evidence. Unless someone is a hypochondriac, nobody is visiting doctors for no reason. Fuck off with that nonsense.

If you can't support your opinions with evidence and facts, then you probably have shitty opinions/stances. Shocker coming from you.
I love paying for medical insurance company profits! Gives me such warm feelings inside that a CEO, board members and shareholders get the benefit of people who are healthy and the detriment of those who are not. What could go wrong?And what makes you think private healthcare would be/can be affordable?
Yeah I'm perfectly fine with higher taxes to cover our healthcare costs in Canada. I'm a healthy 40 yr old with no health issues atm, but one day I might need it, and someone else currently needs it, so I'm fine paying for it. And thank goodness the quality of the plan is not tied to employers.Besides the difference in cost, I'm really happy I don't have to worry about what kind of plan I'm on how to pay and deduct for different services. Seems overly complicated and expensive.
A well educated population would rise up against American oligarchs which is the last thing the ruling class wants.The best way to keep cost down in health care is to have a healthy population ie. prevention is better than treatment.

Sorry, arguing to yourself, as you look in a mirror, doesn't qualify as being successful.Ive already successfully argued against single payer, so the only remaining option is affordable private healthcare.
