  1. Kyle doesn't read actual bills or anything really. Or if he does he knows his fans won't. Which is why he spreads ignorance.

  2.  ryne green  , define "work". In many ways they fail. Besides, other nations have different history and culture compared to us thus you really can't compare. As for healthcare rankings, they are completely arbitrary. Anyone can do any analysis they want with the numbers and come up with any ranking they want. Free college is a failure. That is why the US has a way better university system.

  3.  @annawest7626  , I just glanced at the bill. Basically it will deny grants to any drug company with overpriced drugs. So with that pharma companies will just demand more money from insurance companies to offset the difference. This happens with Medicare payments where Medicare underpays for care. Private insurance offsets the cost.

  4.  @annawest7626  , in a free market you are correct. Insurance companies and/or consumers will force drug companies to compete lowering prices. This bill is essentially the government trying to use threats to lower prices. All pharma companies will do is charge consumers more. No different than higher taxes on businesses, they raise prices on consumers.

  7.  Thrunabulax  , roads and military are flawed in that they are working with contractors. Here this law is no different than Obamacare. They will pressure pharma companies to lower prices, in this way with less grants. To which pharma companies will just jack up prices on citizens to make up the different. That is similar to Obamacare and the insurance companies.

  8.  Thrunabulax  , if you had a universal healthcare system some arbitrary doctor will, with little information, decide if your procedure is severe or not. If not they will place you on a waiting list increasing your chances of being worse off.

  10.  @roswellsatterwhite3906  , other nations have lower quality and access.

  11.  @terranentity  , coverage does not equal access. When you listen to people push for M4A they say coverage but never bring up access. That is because the far left is not willing to admit that they can expand coverage, but not access. As for healthcare rankings, they are completely arbitrary. That is why zero academic sources create these rankings, only special interest groups with motives.

  12.  @roswellsatterwhite3906  , you can't do a comprehensive study determining poor outcomes as there are way too many variables and way too many ways to measure it. In the US I recommend the book "In Excellent Health" by prof. Scott Atlas. He outlines how the US is superior in access to advanced care and outcomes in advanced illnesses. Where we struggle is the cost and lack of coverage for some people. However, other nations struggle with access as well. Kyle, during his debate with Razorfist, said that no one dies due to lack of access to healthcare. That is 100% false. Amenable mortality is an issue every nation faces. For example, people die in Canada waiting for "elective" heart surgery. Such examples are listed in the paper entitled "True versus reported waiting times for valvular aortic stenosis surgery" And also "Analysis of deaths while waiting for cardiac surgery among 29,293 consecutive patients in Ontario, Canada" Also, in the study entitled "A messy reality: an analysis of New Zealand's elective surgery scoring system via media sources, 2000–2006" They say "Research has also considered the impact of waiting on patients, with findings that those awaiting necessary treatments often face considerable costs. These may be financial if the ability to work is affected and if there is a need to pay for additional care and therapeutics while awaiting treatment. Costs for the health system may arise if patients are not treated in a timely manner and develop more serious conditions or co-morbidities as a consequence of waiting. There may also be quality-of-life impacts, as well as impacts on family or caregivers " And in the study entitled "Policy strategies to reduce waits for elective care: a synthesis of international evidence" They say "It is often observed that elective wait times are low in the USA, one of the few countries where the majority of care has been financed by non-universal private insurance." Where elective form of care can include certain forms of heart and neurosurgery. It isn't just "chin surgery" as Kyle claims. There are advantages to a universal healthcare system, and if you want me to break it down compared to the advantages of a for profit system I can. But the harsh reality is this, expanding coverage does not expand access as you don't increase the supply of healthcare. You do, however, increase the demand thus access will most likely drop.

  13.  @roswellsatterwhite3906  , you are correct that universal healthcare does give a certain floor to all. Also, it does reduce stress as pointed out in the study entitled "The Oregon Experiment — Effects of Medicaid on Clinical Outcomes" However, it comes at a cost. As I said we offer more advanced care compare to other nations. Kyle and other far leftists think we can have M4A and expect lower payments with the same accessibility to healthcare. That is not true. I am willing to concede that maybe M4A is the best route, but the far left is pushing it on deception and misinformation. That is dangerous especially considering this is literally a life or death situtation.

  14. The private system does do it better. Medicare just recently starting covering prescription benefits. Also, how will Medicare negotiate drug prices?
