  1. Mike, he is referring to a study from Harvard that said 45,000 people die a year due to lack of access in healthcare. The ultra left pushes that narrative despite the counter arguments against it and despite the fact that government does not have a magic wand and can't make healthcare appear out of nowhere.

  2. Joe Donnelly voted against Kavanaugh. Every democrat who was in a toss up vote and voted against Kavanaugh lost. The one senator who was in a toss up vote and voted for Kavanaugh won.

  3. Trying to save face after voting against Kavanaugh. The way democrats treated Kavanaugh was not popular with independents.

  4. Democrats are still getting beat, badly. They picked up less than 30 seats which is low for an opposing party for a midterm. Look at how many seats the republicans picked up in 2010. Democrats needs to work with Republicans or risk losing Congress.

  5. David, the price of healthcare has been going up for years now.

  6. RandomGuy7092, those nations don't do what the left wants to do here.

  7. John Walsh, you say "probably have lived". That is the key point. Those 45,000 are poor and there are higher rates of obesity, type II diabetes and smoking with the poor. Bad health is associated with being poor mainly from self inflicted problems. So the question becomes do they die due to lack of access or due to being in bad health to begin with? Also, even if you give them access to care, how much longer will they live? Say you give them access and they live another 5 months while being in pain and agony? Is that a success? That is what makes that 45,000 stat so debatable and why very few point to it. The only ones who do are the far left who deny counter arguments on the issues.

  8. Ruben, care to explain? I can expand my point pointing to references.

  9. Kenneth, zero dollars.

  10. RandomGuy7092, so do we. We have universal healthcare of some time in the US as well. What's your point?

  11. Dragonnsv, that is not an argument. Healthcare is very complex. Saying they all have some version of single payer is a poor argument as you are ignoring other factors as well. For example, the US is number 1 in obesity rates of OECD nations.

  12. Omnilisk, what heinous things? Improve the economy? Oh how awful!

  13. A Gott, that is how the pendulum swings. The fact that Trump loss less than 30 seats in Congress is actually a success based on previous midterm elections. Governors switching is not out of the norm as well, welcome to politics. As for ballot initiatives that is not uncommon as well. Right now the states have more state rights and thus more freedom and the people will push for ideas like that at the state level. Again, not out of the norm.

  14. Many republicans ran against Medicare for all and won. Kyle is incredibly stupid when it comes to politics and economics.

  15.  @jbeihl1  , so you want the government to dictate what we eat? Also, there are many indicators that the US has a better healthcare system than other nations. You say they have better outcomes. One reasons for that is the lower obesity rates. That is my point.

  16.  @Jimbothegreat53  , there are many arguments to be made that suggest the US has a better healthcare system than those nations. I will never say the US does, but as a whole when you break it down the US is on par with other nations. What does being autistic have to do with anything? I love how "liberal" you are in that you will make fun of someone if they have some sort of disability.

  17.  @ravivdlin9412  , there are arguments to be made that they don't have better medical care.

  18.  @christianknuchel  , the ER cannot deny you. Many people go to the ER, receive care and can't pay. That is one of many reasons why healthcare is so expensive, hospitals charge other people more who can pay. It is also one reason for having the individual mandate. In Oregon a study was performed and published in the New England Journal of Medicine gave access to healthcare to 6000 poor individuals and 6000 others did not receive Medicaid. When the two groups were compared there wasn't any differences in physical health. Why? Because their lifestyle choices did not change. That is why bad health is associated with being poor, they have poor lifestyle choices. I read the study, it is difficult to account for obesity and smoking. Also, it isn't just obesity. One can be in poor physical health and not be obese due to poor diet, that is a function of one's genetics which that study does not account for. My argument on the 5 months is not extreme. Read the book "Being Mortal". There the author discusses the issue how many look at healthcare as a way to live another 5 or 10 years but end up living only another 5 or 10 months, and during that time they are in agony or not doing well. The reason is that when people are near death when you fix one problem another comes up. It is similar to an old car. When you fix the broken power steering now you have a problem with a turn signal. When you fix that now you have a problem with say another bad sensor. The same is with the human body. As I said most of those people have bad diets and don't exercise. You may fix one health issue, but with the complexity involved due to them not being healthy to begin with, other issues may arise that you now have to fix. I have read up on this issue a lot. I suggest you do if you want to have a strong opinion. Other nations tax their citizens more with higher consumption taxes. The far left just wants to tax the rich. That is closer to the Venezuela model where you tax one source to pay for another. The European model is tax the citizens and then give them that service. That is the difference. The far left does not want that, they want to tax the rich and give to others. Just like how Venezuela took revenue from oil and gave to others. When the oil market dried up Venezuela went under. Other nations tax citizens and then give back to them. That area won't dry up as citizens won't leave the nation like the rich can. Again, I have read up on this and looked into it. I suggest you do as well. This is an interesting topic and complex. If you have any other questions just ask.

  19. Adam, that is 100% false. Also, more money does not mean more goods and resources. The government cannot magically create more doctors.

  20. Adam, the US is number 1 in cancer survival rate. Thanks for bringing that up.

  21. Kyle claims that Medicare for all is a popular position. His only evidence are vague opinion polls. Those polls are unreliable as they are vague questions on complex issues. When more information is given people's opinions change. Kyle refuses to accept that.

  25. Raizhen010, Rosen did not vote against Kavanaugh, that was the point. What Brown, Baldwin and Menendez in battleground states?

  26. Kenneth, what facts?

  27. Raizhen010, according to RealClearPolitics the toss ups were the open seat in AZ, Nelson, Donnelly, McCaskill, Tester, Heller, Manchin and the open seat in TN.

  28.  @Raizhen010 , voting against Kavanaugh did hurt them. RealClearPolitics looks at all the polls and listed those elections as toss ups. The ones you listed were not toss ups.

  29.  @Raizhen010  , what is the cook report?
