Curious to see who will come out as the popular position here. This is Cruz's time to really sell his idea for how America should function in terms of healthcare.

Who do you think will come out wiith the win?

Sanders. Cruz's ideas would work for someone like Cruz who has lots of money to pay huge hospital bills, but not for a middle class person like myself

lol. I agree. I don't really like the fact that each hold the extreme view points of their perspective ideologies.

Seems the poll indicates that the voters so far want Bernie's single payer system regulated by the Federal government. I think if implemented correctly, it could be very successful, but who knows. Their are a lot of factors that go into it.

We all lose if we don't come up w/ affordable health care. Anyone can lose their job, become underemployed and not eligible for benefits, have pre existing that make premiums not affordable or get older and have premiums go up substantially.

Even if you have insurance, it might be crappy and you won't find out till you're in the hospital. Better hope everything goes as planned, because if you have to stay longer, see how your insurance company will want to kick you out early even when you need more care. It's a human issue, not a partisan one.

People get sick.

People die.

Such is life.

Expecting medical science to keep you breathing and someone else to pay for it is just downright selfish but that sadly is another thing that is all to prevalent in humans.

If you are 75, you have an argument, but if you are 25 and can be easily saved if only it could be funded, hard to agree with you

Who said someone else pays for it just because it is tax payer funded? Some people will pay more into the system than you, thats how taxes work. Are you against Medicare as well? No more freeways either? Everyone pays everything out of pocket instead? Born disabled, instant death as soon as parents' piggy bank runs out?
