I have heard him called a radical and a communist. Why exactly? In most other capitalist highly developed countires he would considered centre-right , or just centre. Pretty much just run of the mill. Universal healthcare does not mean your country will become communist. Its funny people that say they don't want a socialist healthcare system yet they send their kids to public schools.

Why are some people so against public health care? Taxing big corporations is world of differnce than saying no corporations or the government is taking them over. Why do people resosrt to these really weird attacks calling Bernie a radical communist etc etc??? Its so bizarre. Why is America still so reactionary? It almost seems stuck in the cold way 1950s.

Because the other Democrats want to win... It's called a smear campaign from the Democrat party... He is not saying anything different than what the Democrat party has been saying for ten years...

"Universal healthcare" means that people who are deadbeats and too lazy to work will be provided free healthcare by hardworking and productive people. Very un-American.

Anybody of working age who wants good healthcare needs to get a good job with benefits and stay in it.

It also means that your healthcare decisions are no longer yours but some government expensing decisions... It's already happened in Canada and other European countries... You wanted to be treated for your cancer, well that's up to the government to decide...

Why does the media call Trump 98% of the things they do?

Is it because they are true, or is it because they want to smear him?

Let that question sink in for a moment and get back to me.

Everyone gets treated in Canada. If you have cancer you will get treated. Its not like some one makes a decision if you will be treated or not. You go to the Hospital and the doctors will do their job that they get paid well to do.
