These people don't care about your lousy numbers or your lousy facts.

The agenda is the following so please stick with the program:

1. Trump is stupid and rich
2. People who voted for Trump are stupid and uncaring
3. The sky is falling

Do not deviate from the Borg Collective.

No it doesn't and it would prevent millions of middle class people from having to declare bankruptcy, when they get hit with huge medical expenses from diseases like cancer and the like. It's why all of the first world countries other than us have it.

They have determined that healthcare is a RIGHT and not a privilege!

3% of cancer survivors file for bankruptcy.

However, my point is single payer is the way to go but if you want to bury your head in the sand with the rest of the right wing knuckledraggers be my guest.

Ah, let me guess, this is St. Patrick's Day and you're "green with envy". Jealousy and sour grapes in one neat package!
I'm not green with envy because the last person I would want to be is Trump, as I don't do lying and cheating on three wives. Just want this man child to do his job, stop tweeting, stop whining, stop travelling to Mar A Lago on my dime every weekend, and apologize to BO for wiretap BS and belatedly his birther conspiracy lie.

OK!

Yeah I know better.


I didn't even mention that Meals on Wheels isn't even a federal program but a non-profit based in Virginia which makes the high dudgeon over losing 3% of the funding even more strange.

Everyone on here should just peruse the health insurance section of the Health and Wellness part of these very boards. A veritable trove of information regarding the failures of the system.

Single payer is not the best way to go for the middle class. They get stuck subsidizing all the poor people to have the same option.

If you're forced to buy another person a car, they shouldn't get one just as nice as yours.

Typical right wing BS but obviously you are drinking the kool aid, and I hope you are rich but I doubt it.
