  1. Bernie's young supporters are people with no life experience. They are going purely off of emotions and "free stuff". When they get older and start working and pay actual taxes they will regret voting for Bernie Sanders.

  2. +derwyn owen The US is in the top 5 in terms of productivity and beating the UK. So based off of that it is arguable that the US has a better healthcare system.

  3. +derwyn owen "i`ve not yet heard one single good argument why there should not be universal healthcare" The US arguably has the best healthcare system in the world, I believe a linked you a book showing that.

  4. +derwyn owen I never said the US has the best healthcare system in the world, I said it arguably does. I gave you that book but here it is again https://www.aei.org/wp-content/uploads/2014/03/-the-business-of-health_110115929760.pdf "Prof. Ohsfeldt acknowledges that regression was chosen for its relative simplicity for what he called his “little book project.” And he agrees that some deaths that his book attempted to remove from the life-expectancy tables might be dependent on health-care systems. “We’re not trying to say that these are the precisely correct life-expectancy estimates,” he told me. “We’re just trying to show that there are other factors that affect life-expectancy-at-birth estimates that people quote all the time.” These factors (which could also include rates obesity and smoking, also arguably the result of lifestyle choices rather than health care) call into question the value of country rankings, especially where the difference between the leading countries is often less than a year. Prof. Ohsfeldt compared the situation to college rankings where two schools with minute differences are ranked, somewhat arbitrarily." So that ranking of 36 means nothing. But I guess you can trust some arbitrary ranking.
