  1. when your a socialist asshat, like Bernie Sanders, everything is about being politically correct and taking everything seriously. In other words, Rand Paul's way of saying that all private hospitals will essentially become public if things like Medicaid are passed, doesn't work. Socialists just mock you and try to make you look stupid

  2. +1 ebenezer its kinda hard to do that when you're forcing me to contribute to society and shit I don't agree with through taxes. We shouldn't force people to do what they don't want. That's why we have state representation. So that if you want free health care, you can move to Sander's state of Vermont where they have Free Health Care. Why would you force conservative Texas to pay for everybody's free health care when the people of Texas don't want it? In the end, this isn't an argument if free health care works or not, its stopping the Federal government from enforcing the demands of the majority on the minority or vice versa. We aren't a socialist nation where the Federal government decides what's best for everyone. The states can decide for themselves and the people who live there.

  3. +1 ebenezer I hope you learn economics one day and realize that morals are subjective. Stop telling people what is right and wrong.

  4. @autopsy what you just said literally makes no sense. Free Health Care doesn't mean that hospitals and the like become private institutions like gun manufacturers. It means that the government will always pay for you, whether you have insurance or not. Rand Paul is saying that Free Health Care means that every hospital must treat every patient that walks in and that every hospital basically answers to the government, not its actual private owners.

  5. In America, hospitals are privately owned. Emergency Services are not. Emergency Services are elements of local government. They are hired, and paid for by local tax payers. Everyone in the local community needs them and subscribes to them. The Free Health Care that Sanders and Paul are talking about is National Free Health Care. This would 1) make every hospital basically a (federal, not local) public service since they must treat every patient and because they are receiving their money from the federal government, not the patient. 2) Hospitals lose their quality because there is no more competition. No matter how shitty of a job they do, the government will always pay them. A patient can't write a bad review and say go to another hospital, because that hospital is also paid by the government. 3) Not everyone in the U.S.A. needs government Free Health Care, but they still have to pay for their own Health Insurance and others (through taxes). And your not just paying taxes for locals who can't afford Health Insurance, your paying for everyone in America, since its National Free Health Care. So, yeah its great if Sanders state of Vermont wants to make State-wide Free Health Care, that's their choice, just don't make the whole country do it against their will.

  6. +andree1991 free health care service can be bad, especially since there is little pressure for them to perform well, but I can also be very good too. But free health care grows the government, removes a private industry (places that supply hospitals also now basically have only 1 customer, the U.S. government) and believe it or not, the government tends to run things badly. The U.S. government has taken funding from some budgets and moved them to other places, on more than one occasion. In fact, in the U.S., if you don't have Obamacare (the government free health care plan), you are fined (this fine is to pay for everyone who uses Obamacare). Federal government run sectors can also cripple the country. Look at Egypt, all the teachers nation wide went on strike because the government didn't treat them right. The whole country was practically paralyzed and the only institutes that continued to function were expensive and/or foreign private schools. In France, Airlines are government owned or heavily subsidized by the government and when the Airlines went on strike, the whole country's air travel stopped. In the Middle East, where federal government's tend to be weak, and local law enforcement is minimal, medical emergencies and hospitals are a joke. In some African nations, health care is neglected in favor of military spending. And yes, while some nations like the U.K., Canada, and Norway have good health care, they also have smaller populations than the U.S., which is important. Look at China, for example. Their health care is in shambles. They simply don't have enough hospitals because hospitals can't make enough money (although, I'll admit their government is also very corrupt). The government literally taxes their own people into poverty because as a Chinese citizen, you are paying for 1 billion ppl that will eventually visit a hospital or need medical attention. What good is free healthcare if you're living in rags and a shack? In Russia, people get their prescription drugs for free, but they only get what keeps them alive and in some cases, they disabled can't work so they live off government food stamps and prescribed drugs; just enough to stay alive and in misery. So long story short, the fact that free health care sucks, is not a joke. Anyone who finds it funny has a sick sense of humor.
