  1.  @ps3301  Rofl, the US has the highest per capita healthcare costs. All the universal healthcare systems, in the rest of the developed world, are cheaper per capita. It makes zero sense to say that people would tax themselves to death with something that costs less than what they're already paying.

  2.  @ps3301  Doctors' salaries are a fraction of the cost problem. There are US politicians that want to lower drug prices. Even if no other costs changed, the US could cut about half of its administrative costs by switching to single payer, and pay less than they are now.

  3. Well, anyone who thinks they're justified in calling someone on the left a "Nazi", doesn't know what a "Nazi" is. And, anyone calling politicians who want to be more like Denmark "extreme left", "commies", are, objectively, clueless. Denmark is a centrist country, making US politicians wanting to be more like Denmark, the actual centrists. Zero relevant US politicians are calling for a 100% publicly owned and operated economy, complete economic equality for all, and an end to capitalism. Objectively, there is no actual extreme left. On the other hand, a number of Republicans, and a whole Libertarian party, promote privatizing as much as possible, promote Ayn Rand, are anti-union, and are about as extreme righ as is possible. Add to that, how authoritarian and militant the US is, add the crony capitalism, add the ultra nationalism, add the religious nuttery, and you're, objectively, dancing on the border with fascism (not all fascists are Nazis). Ending democracy is about the last box that needs checking, to make it official, and Dumpty is trying his best. If a sane person can't see the difference between considering Ayn Rand extreme right and considering Denmark extreme left, then, although they might be sane, they're likely not too bright.

  4. @Cole Reed I used Libertarians as an indication of US politics hitting the extreme right, economically. Then I used the word "add", repeatedly, to get to pushing fascism. So, I'm not sure how you arrived at your thinking I needed some education on Libertarianism.
