Single payer is a disaster in Canada. Aniimals in Canada have much better health care than people do because Vet Med. is market based, and an animal can get high-end diagnostics and treatments same day or next, at much reduced costs, because of the absence of OPM.
Utter nonsense. Not just part of it, but ALL of it.
If you're getting .50 cents a post for this tripe you're vastly overpaid.
So basically they want to DOUBLE the already over inflated federal budget? This would be economic suicide.
What other can of worms does the government controlling your health lead to? I can already see "Healthcare costs are too high because of obesity, we need to ban candy bars, soda." "motorcycle accidents are costing us too much. No more motorcycles!"
Also, we we already have a shortage of doctors before we make seeing a doctor free. It will require some sort of price control with too much demand and not enough supply which will lead to even more shortages. We may have people who actually need a doctor unable to see one. My god this is such a bad idea.

The wars aren't freebies, they are Constitutionally authorized and amount to the most important role of the Federal government. And even if we ended all the wars, and let our enemies surround, and then defeat us, there would still be no money - a little less debt, perhaps, but still no money, AND, more importantly, Single Payer would still be a stupid idea promoted by two major groups.
The Parasite-class who wants to be nipple-fed on the sweat of somebody else's brow.
The Ruling-class who seek to increase their power and control over the people.
Which group do you belong to?
I don't care whether wars are freebies/constitutionally authorized or not. If you're fiscally concerned, you won't go to war UNLESS you have to, and if you do, get out fast and not stay there for a decade AND find a way to pay for it either by (1) increasing taxes or (2) decreasing expenses or (3) both.
That's the same issue you have with single payer. Except we're just shifting expenses into domestic issues to improve our own lives instead of fighting endless wars. What's better, building tanks or funding health?
