So, correct me if I am wrong, but I thought the democrat politicians been crying about getting free health care if they were elected, and well, nothing yet. Seems to me we went through this same crap with Obama and in the end, he only made things worse.

So where is the Germany,France, Sweden, Norway and Canada style of healthcare system we were promised?

Have your payroll taxes went up about 18% to pay for it ?

I'm already paying over 25 percent in taxes as it is, and nothing to show for it. And this doesn't include my property taxes, vehicle taxes, pet tags, business taxes, permits, licenses and fees.

Why are you asking for it if you don't want it?

Give them time, it's only been a few months since Dems have been in power.

Open borders - check
Green New Deal - in progress
Universal healthcare - up next

Well, aren't you tired of the USA being last of the first world nations when it comes to this stuff? I kept on hearing and reading about how Europe is so much better because if the universal health care, and it's the only real selling point that I am in agreement with the democrats, and yet, well, they are not delivering on this at all. I already pay a large portion of taxes, and it seems to me it's mostly either going to the politicians, or to their lobbyists.

So, is this more empty promises from the democrats? They have been crying about universal health care since the mid 80's, and well, now they got control of most aspects of the country, so what's the excuse now????? Can't Biden just make an executive order to seize all medical insurance companies and use their assets to jump start the universal health care????

I guess you're being tongue-in-cheek but ok.

In any event, unlike Republicans, Democrats do tend to deliver more on their promises even if it takes more time.

Among anarchist circles we have a saying when comparing the two Marxist teams - at least Democrats say what they mean and mean what they say. Republicans definitely do not. They're an odd bunch that I don't really understand. Democrats? I get 'em. I find the philosophy to be pure evil but at least they're honest about it.

I suspect they'll move closer to it as the administration gets its footing. Right now they are focusing on open borders (a good thing) and dismantling the police (another good thing).

Please. Republicans have a track record similar to that of Democrats. Don't count Trump, he was a rino with liberal and populist values and didn't care about the American people. He wasn't a real republican.

Why don't you go sign up for the "far better than the ACA" plan promised to put in place soon after taking office?
