@tahjclemons8911 , true. Most of his wealth is not liquidated.

Other factors do play a role. Why didn't Kyle give the study and why didn't Kyle give the name of the author?

@wunnell , Kyle does not bring up other factors, same with Bernie. If you read the study they do. There is no direct 1 to 1 correlation between healthcare costs and bankruptcy but Bernie and Kyle are presenting the "facts" as if there is. This is why Kyle does not actually name the study as he is hiding things. This is typical Kyle, he, like Bernie, is a hack.

@wunnell , the article states that the number of people where medical costs is the only cause of bankruptcy is around 30 to 50 thousand. Bernie picks the highest number and went with it. This is no different than the Koch brothers study on M4A where they picked a number out of it saying M4A will be cheaper while ignoring issues like accessibility and quality dropping.

Bernie is his own threat. His ideas are radical and he has no desire to give actual details in them. When pressed he will fall apart.

@Yanaschaf , he has zero details in his plans.

Welcome to Secular Talk. Zero references and zero sources.

The problem with the far left is that this is their platform 1. There is a major problem 2. The solutions are simple and without consequences 3. The solutions are popular 4. If you disagree you are either a bigot, ignorant or corrupt When that is your starting point you have no room to change. The reality is that maybe something like M4A is the best option for this nation. But when you have far leftists like Kyle pushing for it while completely dismissing the other side that is not progressive.

@theangrycynic4389 , Kyle is far left as his platform is what I listed. He is pushing for radical ideas while completely dismissing the other side. That is being extreme on any political spectrum. Thing is that some of his ideas are legit along with others on the far left, but when you completely dismiss the other side's legit concerns you are not going to convince anyone. If Bernie becomes the nominee for president I feel we will see a historic victory by Trump as Bernie, and other far leftists, simply dismiss legit concerns from the other side. To progress we need to have an actual conversation on the issues and consider both sides of the argument. Kyle does not want that. Look at his debate against Razorfist, when he brought up a legit concern Kyle's remark was to say "that is not true". Now Razorfist wasn't the brightest but to give an example with healthcare Razorfist brought up issues with universal healthcare systems as in people being denied care. Kyle said that no one dies due to lack of access in universal healthcare system and they are only denied care for elective procedures like chin surgery. Reality is that is not true. Amenable mortality is an issue in every nation and elective procedures includes certain forms of heart surgery and neurosurgery. The Australian Institute of Health and Welfare has a list that includes those things. Kyle makes a claim such as the 45,000 deaths in the US and cites a study, but than claims that number is zero and cites nothing.

@theangrycynic4389 , his policies are far left as he is pushing to completely dismantle many programs in our current system and change them completely. That is radical in any nation. M4A is far left as currently written eliminates current healthcare insurance, cuts pay by 40%, places 30+ million on the system, will raise taxes on every all of which is completely changing our current system. Major changes will result from that with lower accessibility, lower quality and so on. Something has to give. This is not to say that M4A is not the best solution, it might be. But with Kyle he pushes for M4A as if there will be no consequences or drawbacks of any kind when there clearly would be. There are advantages of M4A but there will be drawbacks, just like there are advantages to our current system but with drawbacks. Kyle dismisses the drawbacks. With the debate he refused to debate Crowder but I agree with Shapiro, Shapiro is deceptive as well and in something like healthcare he fumbles at times. Kyle would most likely "win" the debate because he will cite some source where Shapiro won't. But Kyle will cite the source in a very deceptive way and than make another claim and cite nothing, but his fan base will say "he has facts and sources". The reality is this, Kyle is selling something to a target audience. The media does this all around as it gets views. Watch this video here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y3miF4KqOMA The guy lays it out well. People want to watch talking heads like Kyle and Shapiro, or CNN and Fox as they give them short talking points they like to hear. They don't want to listen to some expert give an hour long presentation on the issues as that will bore them. They want to hear Kyle shout about M4A and dismiss the other side. People want to hear Shapiro rip on AOC. And with debate it becomes a game but really none of these people are experts. I feel they are intelligent, but not experts. I come here often to debate people on the issues and when I do I cite studies and books by experts. For example, on healthcare I cite works by Prof. Katherine Baicker, by Prof. Scott Atlas, by Prof. John Schneider and by medical doctors like Atul Gawande. These are actual experts and when you read their sources you realize how complex healthcare really is and just pushing for M4A as it is the cure all for healthcare, or the political left pushing the idea that universal healthcare will lead to an inferior system is dangerous on both sides. But when I cite these sources here on Kyle's videos his fans literally refuse to read them. They refuse to read a 200 page book on the issue. They rather listen to Kyle. It is disturbing to me.

Welcome to Secular talk. This is what Kyle and far leftists do, they ignore other variables that are at play. That is what makes them so dangerous.

This is no different than the Koch brothers study saying M4A will save money. But those numbers assumed a 40% pay cut to healthcare providers to which there will be questions about cuts in accessibility and quality. The far left cherry picks stats and never digs farther.
1
@tedg1278 , we should. Kyle and far leftists don't. That is what makes them dangerous.

If you got your masters degree than you will realize how deceptive Bernie is. The article does not give a 1 to 1 correlation between the bankruptcies and medical bills. They simply say it is a factor. Other factors are at play. The article suggests that the number of bankruptcies that were directly from medical costs is 30 to 50 thousands. Bernie just picked the highest number and ran with it. That is not good and is really taking advantage of useful idiots. This is no different than the Koch Brothers study where Bernie took one number and than made the claim that M4A will save money. It ignores problems that will rise up with accessibility, quality and so on.
