  1. Just imagine if all the white supremacists defected also, then our country would really be better!

  2.  @ericarevalo2701  Socialism and communism are not the same things. For example: Socialism = Sweden, Communism = Cuba.

  3.  @Keifsanderson  Health care in Canada is paid for by taxes not free. USA pays the most for health care with worse results than most other rich countries. Socialized medicine has its problems but they get more for their money.

  4.  @battosai6934  I was on Medicaid (USA government health care) before Obamacare. I had better insurance than my friends and family who got insurance through work. They could hardly afford to go to the doctor. I also knew many people who had no insurance at all. My sister didn't go to the dentist for 7 years. Medical bills were one of the top causes of bankruptcy. Socialized medicine may have its problems but if you are poor or middle class it can be attractive. Something is better than little or nothing.

  5.  @Keifsanderson  Exactly, USA health care is good for those who can afford it. I am talking about the many who can't afford it. Statistics include everyone not just higher income Americans. Over all we have worse health outcomes than most developed nations and spend the most.

  6.  @Keifsanderson  Once again, I am talking about overall statistics not specific cases. USA health care is good for the well off. Not so good for the uninsured.

  7.  @Keifsanderson  Single payer systems increase care for the lower and middle classes. If you have little or no health care then mediocre care is a big improvement. The wealthy can always pay extra for better care.

  8.  @Keifsanderson  You are rich enough to pay for medical care out of pocket. You live in Canada. I don't think you have a clear picture of how things work for lower class people in the USA. I believe you that some uninsured people are driving fancy cars but the uninsured I know do not. (Actually they are mostly on Obamacare now so they're no longer uninsured.)

  9.  @Keifsanderson  What does NPC mean?

  10.  @Keifsanderson  I didn't know that Canada and the UK are communist countries.

  11.  @Keifsanderson  I can appreciate that you are smart to prioritize health care. Just realize that some people don't have the income to pay for nice cars or health care.

  12. I think it is because they had different expectations. Jenkins probably had a better early life.

  13. If you are one of the only native speakers of English in the country you don't need very good skills.
