it's gem after gem
I'm watching Ralph
what was warren being based in response to though?
she was quoting something she says Bloomberg said to her in private
Not even kidding
She's trying to Bernie him
oh so another attempt at slandering a better candidate
I hope Bloomberg gets the nomination
two republicans running for president against each other
Bloomberg is anti-gun, and a bit nanny state-ish
but I like that he's not going to tax me at 50%
was he anti-gun before he swapped parties?
yes, New York
>he insulted Communism
and the crowed
oooed
hopefully he can make waves in that party so they start focusing on the actual issues they used to care about
The more I listen to this "debate" I actually begin to fear Democratic rule
They're going to spend all our money
well guess what Illinois is like
It's Bloomberg and Bernie
I love Bloomberg
fuck it, I'm going to go through the process to register to vote for Bloomberg in the primaries
anyone but bernie so bernie and yang take half the democrat vote and guarantee Trump 2020
I want a moderate Dem party
Because there are dem policies I'd like to see explored
but not the insane shit they're peddling
reparations, 100% estate tax, Cap gains insanity
what good ideas do they even have at this point?
Energy, anti-interventionalism, gambling, (non-insane) healthcare measures, prison reform
none of these have to be democratic policies
they're just policies
but for some reason, when the cards were dealt, Dems chose these things
prisons are bad thanks to clinton
Prisons are bad because we've demonized and underfunded private prisons
nuclear energy should be bipartisan anyway
let healthcare be free market and maybe it will stop being so expensive
Just make it so hospitals cannot make money buy charging 10 grand for something that costs 2 dollars because of insurance
I would socialize medicine to a degree, by killing insurance
forcing people to pay what they spend
pika you need to remember that development cost is a thing
but backing it by the government
yes I am aware
but your costs are way over what is reasonable
The perfect system, is an optional one, that is there for you if you need it
non-nterventionalism would be nice, but we are so spread out at this point that letting the countries that hate us have free reign again would cause a lot of global issues
It is such a foreign concept to not be able to afford going to the hospital because I am dying to me
I don't go to a hospital... ever
I don't get annual checkups
I don't go visit my doc when my arm hurts or I get the sniffles
In any socialized system, I want to not pay anything*
use of the system, should be what dictates who pays
if you get a bone set, you should get a bill
and you should pay that bill
Instead of insurance, being the middleman and making a profit, I'm fine with it being the government
I have zero trust that the government wouldn't make a profit
what?
I hate how our system works now
I hate employer provided health insurance, I hate mandatory insurance
I hate the fact nobody pays for service they recieve, when they recieve it
isn't mandatory revoked now?
Obamacare is
but plenty of employers make you pay, regardless of the plan you choose
and people feel they have to pay for insurrance
before they incur costs
This is awful
If you visit your doc twice a year, you should pay for two appointments
instead of paying monthly insurance premiums, a co-pay upon each visit, and have the doctor have to go through a retarded process to get paid themselves
the fact that insurance doesn't cover everything defeats the purpose of the insurance
it should only affect emergencies
The problem I have, and why I don't want to pay for insurance
is if I get into a real accident, I figure I'll be dead
I have trouble imagining situations where I'll come out ahead, paying into insurance
I'd rather take home the extra money, and stick it in my bank account
There's stuff that could probably be done to reduce prices too, but I won't pretend like that's an easy fix
I don't want price setting
but there's got to be some way to reduce the insanity
price setting forces scarcity
