In theory, tax payer paid healthcare is a good idea. In theory.
Is this post here because conservatives love seeing the disabled suffer?

It’s here because Canada is the only country in the world with tax payer paid healthcare. Wait, what? Most countries in the world have tax payer paid healthcare? I meant in North America. Wait, what? Mexico has tax payer paid healthcare too?

And yet millions are coming to America. Way to promote the Mexican health care system. They love it so much they run across the border.

Many countries have it, Canada is just the poster child for how bad it can be. The UK is also infamous for the NHS, but MAID is another level of fucked up.

No, because liberals killed a disabled person with horrid policy. You got it backwards.

Explain how a single patient death is a valid argument against the thousands (probably more) of times privatized, profit-driven healthcare in the US has done that or worse.
When you look at who is preserving and enabling this situation, it’s congressional conservatives. Look at their voting records. Review C-SPAN coverage and watch it actually happen. You cannot manipulate reality with online arguments, only accept/reject it.
What you have right here is a straw man argument. A single case is anecdotal, the trend however is much more important.

Liberals want a government funded health care system paid for by government taking other people’s money and imprison everybody who won’t give their money to the government, they demand a ban to private healthcare, but when there’s no money for government to provide thorough treatment, they want people executed or killed off to save government money.
They say it’s better for all people to suffer than for some individuals to do well.

This is more like, your take on the situation but not what people other than conservatives (basically everyone different from you that you’ve lumped into the term “liberal”) believe.

I don’t know anyone believes what this dude is peddling.

Fun fact: The US healthcare system costs more IN TAXES than every other country’s. And then you have to pay exorbitant amounts per month, and even more when you get sick, on top.

Exorbitant? I spend about 2400 a year on healthcare. That’s nothing. That’s less than 1% of my income. Anything about 7% you can deduct from your taxes.

Youre so deeply full of shit. I bet your bedroom just reeks.

A new mom died after giving birth at a Boston hospital. Was corporate greed to blame? Spoiler: corporate greed was to blame. Private capitalist healthcare is a bad idea in theory -and in reality!

Hospitals shouldn’t be for profit in most cases.

Interesting take! I’d be curious to hear any thoughts on the Friedman doctrine as it relates to healthcare, and in broader terms of social services or just in general.
