Baltimore is ran by democrats. In the city I live in with a republican mayor we do not have this problem.

Just because it is 2018 does not mean anything. I can easily say "it is 2018, why do we not have teleportation?" Also, education is funded and ran locally. Looking at federal spending to discuss local issues is not an argument unless you support centralizing the government or limiting the federal government and reducing federal taxes so state and local governments can have more income to tax. If you want to make that comparison as GDP spending we spend just as much on education as we do defense.

Woke up, read an article saying that Walmart is raising their wages and benefits because of the new tax law.

King of Finland, your teacher unions also care about teaching the kids in Finland. In the US our teacher unions is literally legalized money laundering.
1
King of Finland, yes. I can't find the article but a teacher from the US taught in Finland and noticed the autonomy and the fact that teachers cared about the kids. Also, watch this video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wX78iKhInsc Around 9 or 10 minutes he talks about Finland. This guy is interesting.

As for US teacher unions, they are public unions and are paid by tax dollars. They donate to politicians who will promise to increase their pay if elected. The politicians raise taxes, increase teachers payers who are paid by tax dollars, and the unions donate to that politicians.
1
King of Finland, I would like to see the US education improve as well. DeVos is pushing for that despite what people on this channel say. She is pushing for more freedom with the states and ultimately for the teachers.
1
"Someone should really knock your fucking teeth in for being such a lying piece of worthless dogshit;)" Wow, such an intelligent comment. Your rebuttal was amazing. I guess I am all wrong on DeVos as your convincing argument proves that.

Alonso, I can see the ultra left loves intellectual thought.

Baron, how? Kyle praises government ran healthcare but rips on government ran schools.
1
"It's not government run healthcare, they just handle the bill and do it better than anyone else." What? Handling the bill will mean providers will just raise prices. And no, they will not do it better than anyone else. "this is the failure of America to pay its bills in lieu of catering to billionaires and corporations. Enron sucked therefore capitalism is a failure. See the strawman?" Enron failed because of capitalism. This is a government ran school that cannot pay their bills.
1
"Why would they raise prices when they can be cut off entirely for doing that?" So they are controlling healthcare.
1
"I have thus far seen you in the replies of ever single comment on this video " I haven't. Only a few.
1
"I pay for internet access. Therefore I control the internet, no?" In some ways you do. You can choose between providers. However, if you choose not to pay there are other customers. Your example is the government giving a "take it or leave it" option where there are no other customers. The government is the only one. So you can't compare.
1
The ending of Net Neutrality is pushing for less government involvement. You are making zero sense now.
1
Baron, I am sure you do not know what NN is.
1
Also, this isn't about NN, you force the conversation to something irrelevant.
1
"you argued that paying a bill means taking control of something" You are confused here. If the government picks up the tab what is going to prevent healthcare providers from raising prices? You solution was that they will not pay. Fair enough, but then what? There are only so many providers. Now you are limiting the people's choice in where they can go and it comes down to who the government is willing to pay. Or the providers will be screwed as they get a "take it or leave it deal". Now in your comparison we are talking about the free market. You do have control as if an internet provider raises prices you can go elsewhere. If enough people leave that provider will go under, but they have a choice of lowering prices or providing a better services to attract different customers. Not every customer is going to go to one provider. If the government pays for it they will. You see the difference? You are comparing the free market to socialism. So let us start from the beginning, what will prevent providers from raising prices?
1
Baron, in the end you do have control if you pay for it. You can leave if you want and find another provider. That is your individually and your choice with your money. With single payer healthcare the government offers a payment to a company, they say no. So they go elsewhere taking all the tax payers with them. It becomes an all or nothing thing for them. And you as a tax payer have no choice who to go to for healthcare, it depends on what the government has to pay, not you as an individual. So the government controls healthcare.

"Does the government control the radio in my car?" You are drifting again. The CD player, no. Airwaves, yes. They can shut down NPR if they want. They can issue emergency broadcasting if they want. So yes, unless you shut it off or put in a CD. Now answer the question so we can stay on topic, what will prevent providers from raising prices?
1
Baron, answer my question. To answer you question, because raising prices will mean higher taxation or more debt for the federal government.
1
"And you don't think they raise them now?" If the government were to pick up the tab they will raise them by a lot. In comparison the federal student loan program made it so almost anyone can get a loan and go to college. What happened? Colleges raised tuition because you have increased demand and limited supply. Also, a university will say "did I say it cost $2,000 a year to come here, I meant $20,000 a year", so the federal government raise loan limit. The federal government will be artificially increasing demand without increasing supply leading to higher prices. With a free market system prices will actually go down.
1
Baron, we do not have a free market system. As we have seen with LASIK, which isn't tied to insurance, over time the prices drops and the quality improves. A free market system does that. Heck, Walmart just announced they are raising their wages and benefits due to this new tax law.
1
"We could of course switch to single payer, cover everyone, and pay half like all the other developed nations " And have lower quality because guess what, either 1. They will raise prices due to increase demand or 2. Lower quality which is the same as raising prices. Other countries have lower quality and lower productivity in healthcare. I don't like the idea of less progress in healthcare.

"The rest of the world has already proven otherwise." Read this book https://www.aei.org/wp-content/uploads/2014/03/-the-business-of-health_110115929760.pdf It is much more complicated than what you think. No system covers everyone, period.
1
"So then the rest of the world is lying to me?" No as they admit they cannot cover everyone. No one can cover everyone. That is a fact. You are listening to Kyle who has no clue what he is talking about. "Or, let me guess... are you proposing that if we try to cover everyone....gasp... people will get covered, possibly to your inconvenience?" It is impossible to cover everyone, period. Here are some more sources to read "True versus reported waiting times for valvular aortic stenosis surgery" Can J Cardiol. “ Analysis of deaths while waiting for cardiac surgery among 29,293 consecutive patients in Ontario, Canada" Heart “Too many patients with cancer die in acute care hospitals despite palliative options: report" CMAJ “Incapacity for work in elective orthopaedic surgery: a study of occurrence and the probability of returning to work after treatment.” J Epidemiol Community Health “The Ethics and Reality of Rationing in Medicine” Chest

Baron, what "corporate master" am I bowing to? I can say the same for you. You go ahead and bow down to your millionaire politicians and we'll make progress without you.

True. I just hope that someone with a brain will read my comments and finally realize how dumb Kyle is.

"because they are UNDERFUNDED, you moron" Education spending has been going up for years. And the excuse of "underfunded" supports the idea of "socialism works until you run out of other people's money".
1
"education spending has been going up Due to the PRIVATE aspect demanding more money per student usually in universities." https://nces.ed.gov/fastfacts/display.asp?id=66 Seems constant to me, I see a little increase from 2011 to 2014. This is K-12 by the way. I suggest you get your facts from somewhere else.
1
Bob Sagert, when you look at GDP percent we spend just as much on defense as we do education. Now considering how equipment in education does not cost nearly as much as it does in defense, and we are not sending our students overseas, or paying for their healthcare for years, etc., that is high for education.

Harry Christofi, when did I ever support the removal of public schools?
1
" you know single payer isn’t government run healthcare right?" Sure, ok, let us play this game. The government pays for it. Demand goes up. What prevents providers from raising prices?
1
andola jackson, I do not like the insurance situation either. The problems exist because we do not have a free market system as we have many government barriers. So if your argument is a free market system I support that.
1
"Single Payer means that the Federal and State Governments pay for our healthcare and yes demand might go up but guess what the both Governments can use price controls on healthcare costs to keep them down unlike a marketplace" What if healthcare providers refuse to lower prices? A second question. If the federal government creates a law from lowering prices, what if healthcare providers countered by offering lowering quality of care?
