  5.  @tonedowne  , the private sector is fully capable of handling healthcare. The problem is that we don't have a free market system in healthcare. We have a heavily regulated system with subsidizes. The biggest problem is how insurance has become healthcare. Compare to car insurance. Despite being mandated in every state car insurance is affordable. Why? Because car insurance covers unplanned, expensive situations like an accident. It does not cover oil changes or new headlights even though they are needed for a safe and reliable car. The reason is because those are cases you can plan for and shop around for. Healthcare insurance should be the same way. If healthcare insurance only covered unplanned, expensive cases than the price will drop. Many cases can be paid for out of pocket where people can shop around where the price will drop as well. Case in point. LASIK eye surgery. Over time the price has dropped and the quality has improve where LASIK is not covered by insurance but paid for out of pocket. A reason why healthcare insurance is healthcare, in my opinion, is because of the payroll tax. Because of that businesses pay employees with healthcare insurance as opposed to a higher wage. Thus healthcare insurance is a form of payment and thus has become healthcare. That is a problem. Instead of people shopping around for their own plans and having insurance be insurance, it is a form of payment and thus has become healthcare. That gives insurance companies too much power. If we had a free market system in healthcare than insurance companies will have to compete and will become insurance companies and healthcare prices will drop and quality will improve.

  25.  @andrewb6647  , Kyle just copied Bernie's plan of giving away free shit. With that he has no details in how to implement those policies. Look at AOC, when pressed she does not explain how to pay for her plans nor gives specifics in how they will be implemented. When she was pushed in the recent 60 min. interview she literally said feelings over facts. It is not impressive to create a group that just goes off of appeal to emotions talking points. Anyone can do that. I need specifics and Kyle has not given any. I have not seen any specifics in how to implement these plans from JD. Seven is not impressive especially considering the incumbents who where already there and the ones who ran against no one. And again, if AOC is your golden child, you are in trouble. I would watch a debate between Kyle and Ben even though I know how Kyle would act. Kyle will just spew his same handful of talking points. To be honest I can beat Kyle in a debate easily. He says the same handful of talking points over and over again and I know how to counter them. Healthcare is one area I know I can destroy Kyle in simply by how little he knows on the issue. As for him wanting to debate in Politicon, Ben was not debating and from what I can tell Kyle is making things up. Where is the proof that he reached out to Politicon to debate these people ? Jesse Lee Peterson said he was not contacted. The only evidence Kyle gave were text messages. No emails and no real evidence beyond that. Who contacts via text messages like that? I would expect emails. I feel like Kyle is realizing he is losing. The vast majority of his candidates in JD lost and the ones that won were incumbents or people like AOC who are a joke. He has had his show for 10 years and he gets only around 40,000 views a video. And when he tried to debate someone people did not know who he is. He is irrelevant and he knows it which is why he is now looking to debate people. Maybe if he did not work out of a echo chamber he would have more intelligence and be more relevant.

  35.  @tonedowne , people are born with many strengths and shortcomings. Some people are born to be 6'5" and run a 4.5 sec forty to where they can earn millions playing professional sports. Others aren't. Do we place limits on that? No. Same is with healthcare. Some people are born with genetic heart disease. In a free market healthcare insurance will over look that because if they don't than people won't buy their product. One can also look towards charities for help or maybe that is something the local government can step in and help with. But as a whole the idea of someone being born a certain way is not a strong argument against a free market system because you can use that for anything. Even at that lifetime care is something the person will have to budget in. It is a fair point to say that car insurance does have the luxury of the government denying people to drive. But in the end it is mandated for those who have to drive and prices are still low. Why? Because it covers unplanned, expensive cases. Healthcare insurance should be the same way. Preventative care is dependent on the individual. We are taught about eating healthy in school. If they don't follow that than that is their fault. You are now blaming society for individual's actions. If I drive drunk and lose my license should I blame society? How far do you want to go with this? If a private system only treated symptoms than it won't get any customers. That is similar to a restaurant letting customers smell the food but not feeding them, no one will go there. People die in nations with single payer systems. Reality is that resources are limited, no system covers everyone. A free market system, in my opinion, covers the most with the highest quality.

  60. @Ben Krueger , money is speech. Unless there is quid pro quo than it is not illegal. People have many ways to support a candidate. One is that they can attend rallies, another is that they can post signs, one is dedicating an entire youtube channel to them, one is donating money to them so that candidate can use that money to travel and buy advertising time. That is why money is speech. I didn't dismiss your argument, you just can't accept the one I gave you. What is the difference between Kyle giving free air time to advertise Bernie Sanders or Kyle giving Bernie money so that Bernie can pay for a commercial? Nothing in the big picture. If you watch Kyle has said constantly that the media gave Trump X amount of dollars of free air time. So if money isn't speech than why does he bring up that dollar value? Also, money in politics has always existed. The best solution is to limit the size of the government to prevent it from becoming the master. We want government to serve us and we do that by keeping it as local as possible and limiting its power. In smaller nations mixed economies can work due to less diversity. People have different beliefs and life styles. The larger the population the greater the diversity. Compare TX to Minnesota. They are completely different states with different people. When I was in TX a lot was written in spanish due to the large Hispanic population there. It was December and 70 degrees. When I went to MN a week later there was nothing written in spanish and it was -20 degrees there. People acted differently. There is value in having money spent by government, but people have to see if they are getting their money's worth. A lot of that is subjective. To ensure people are getting their money's worth you keep government as local as possible. There is a subjective side in how money should be spent. What you feel is money well spent can be viewed as a waste to others. That is what makes this challenging. Watch this video on that topic https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rQLBitV69Cc&t=22s

  92.  @andrewb6647  , he was invited for the first time in years. What has he done prior to that? Also, seeing the list of politicon it wasn't a strong crowd. What have I done? I have 4 peer reviewed papers in scientific journals and I am a year away from obtaining my PhD and MBA. So I have done a lot, arguably more than Kyle has. Coulter never heard of Kyle before, so he is irrelevant to her. She wrote many best selling books and has appeared on many TV programs. What has Kyle done? Run a youtube channel for 10 years with videos that get only around 40,000 views a video. Coulter never heard of Kyle so why should she debate him? Ana Kasperian help start TYT which is a much larger program than Secular Talk where Secular Talk had to join TYT to gain fame. Ana also taught at a university and gave speeches. Again, what has Kyle done? How many speeches has he given? Politicon was the first time he stepped out of his cave. If you feel it is a cop out to be a certain status than why did Kyle not respond to me? Again, you have double standards. JD is a joke of a group. What have they won? AOC is their most infamous person and she is a joke to almost everyone. JD's policies are literally copying what Bernie said where there are no specifics in how to establish them. Advised not to debate Kyle? Really? Kyle requested those people like a month before Politicon. There was no time to prepare. You know, successful people plan months and years ahead of time. Kyle apparently does not understand that concept. Fact is Kyle would be way too easy of an opponent. He has nothing but talking points and hardly any facts on his side. If you look the debate against Razorfist Razorfist pushed the point that no nation can provide healthcare to all. Kyle lied when he said that no one dies in other nations due to lack of healthcare when in fact they do. Kyle literally has no clue what he is talking about which is why he has a small following. Maybe if he got out of echo chamber sometimes and challenges himself people like Coulter would know who he is and will debate him.
