You notice Democrats never ever come on here and disagree with this.

They have no Economic Program. They never talk about Jobs. They have zero ability to compete with what Trump is doing with our booming economy, record low unemployment and rising wages.

They never talk about freedom from the Govt and being self sufficient.

But you're a Racist and probably wouldn't understand.

I am currently watching FOX Business, and after the commercial, Maria Bartoromo will be interviewing Elizabeth Warren about her plan to increase taxes on corporations. This will essentially lower the value of companies while increasing their costs - and we will see the result in streamlining staffing, increased prices, and a stock market crash.

I'll post back and summarize her plan.....

Democrats are essentially authoritarians. They want to control everything and everyone. They dont believe in freedom, free speech, free press etc. They want to control it all. They think they are more moral and smarter than everyone else not part of their little elitest club.

Canadians pay less for healthcare than we do, and with better patient satisfaction and outcomes. You really don't know what you're talking about

With single payer, I'm stuck with whatever they say I have to accept.
Non employer subsidized insurance costs 3x as much or more, so it's a pretty ***tty deal to buy an individual plan with our current system

I disagree with it. Mainstream Democrats have never been against free enterprise, myself included. We do think there should be social programs in addition to the free market, which can't solve everything, hence why "private prisons" are a moral hazard and unmitigated disaster just as one example....

The Democrats need a plan and a candidate to deliver it.They don't seem to have either at the moment.
The DemocRATS stand only for themselves, and against all else.

How are they paying less if they now have to pay a VAT and other increased taxes?

You really are totally clueless,

I find that hard to believe, because the premiums were doubling every 6 years. Both parties agreed something had to be done, but GOP never bothered although they had full control for a very long time.

So, reducing the rates double digits had no effect in prices, but raising them little would have immediate impact
