  1.  @psiewert83  insulin costs a few dollars but in the U.S people have died from not being able to afford it. I've seen stories from around the world of people who have some disease where they would have died if not for public healthcare. Or some lifelong thing that wouldn't be possible here. There might be exceptions where only a few countries can perform some expert procedure or cutting edge thing. But the scale is ridiculously tilted towards this having so many more people dead. And if not dead, broke. With no relief inside, life long debt to live.

  2.  @Angela-ul9fm  yea. Any time you hear someone be tough on crime, it basically means they'll ignore the root causes. Won't make the community better. They'll just be harsher on it.

  3. I think the U.S can decide to like turn people away, and allow them in ect. The weird part is that they made the path to citizenship more difficult. Like that actually makes no sense. It's paradoxical. They took away 3 solutions to the problem. Which leads me to believe that the solution that keeps the immigrants here is what they didn't like in the first place.

  4.  @markgorman4805  let's be clear that even if what you said was true. The difference is that anyone from low middle class and down just wouldn't get to go to a hospital. And would probably really feel the pain of the financial costs. If they're lucky they'll be able to get it through their job and still be very hurt from the costs.

  7. @Ernesto Pereida I'm sure you know he meant latin american and specifically Hispanic. The bigger question is why would he say that? Like just a simple comment or racist blow whistle? Race scare mongering? Hispanics and latin americans are trying to implement universal healthcare and have been trying, for a long time. And many supported Bernie Sanders. I doubt any would child birth cost to keep people from having kids.

  8.  @markgorman4805  It factually isn't. You literally don't have that argument because by ever measure it just isn't. On top of that, insurances vary so wildly you can't even generalize it.

  9.  @akarshshekhar5233  so you're saying that when the Germans took over France the french shouldn't have fought but let it become Germany territory..the french no longer have a claim to their land? And the U.N should have let Germany keep it after the war?

  10.  @MrMuttly55  It doesn't affect the cohesion of this country at all. But the U.S has definitely played a role in destabilizing a good portion of the region

  11.  @josewilliam3785  when the Arabs do it then we can judge them. We can't judge people based on hypotheticals that haven't happened. Or how any other period would deal with it. It's immoral, it's oppression, it's military expansionism. It's legally wrong by works standards. And you can't consider the Israeli government good people. And eventually that will trickle down to all Israeli's.

  12. ​ @SOSULLI  like judging Walmart on their Charity. When his charity makes him wealthy or it comes from corps, I don't think it's a great assessment of his character when it's a gimmick.

  13.  @dovermaskot4441  nothing about the title indicates it was going to be about the world. There's no expectation about the world unless a country or region or world is specified So what nonsense are you talking about?

  14.  @joshbaker6368  The reason why the U.S spends so much is because the government is weak in the first place. They handicapped medicare to not be able to use it's strength to negotiate. The hospitals and pharmaceutical companies all engage in price gouging, so does the insurance company. Strengthening the government in this area is literally said to reduce costs by the most conservative estimates.

  15.  @robgronotte1  That's not free healthcare. You still have to pay it in an emergency room. All that means is that they'll treat you before or even if you don't show a capacity to pay. They'll saddle you with debt though. It's hard to qualify for medicaid. Poor isn't accurate. Extremely poor or with a lot of kids. And free clinics are far and few. I tried going to one. I wasn't seen at all. You talk to a nurse and if she doesn't think it's worth it(no check up or anything) that's it. Some are better than that. But that's getting up early, travelling far. And of course, illegal immigrants can't get it. Don't pretend any of this is the same as seeing a doctor when you have a problem or for check ups. Or universal healthcare.

  16. Ethan Davis people don't usually live where they work anyway. Some of those areas even if they have no people living there, are really more like business districts. It's more abnormal that people live there than don't.

  22. @The Geek Squad Leader That is so ridiculous. They aren't working. It has nothing to do with desire. It's not most of their job. It doesn't take physicality or time from them. I'm not saying someone doesn't. It's a few people's job. What I'm trying to convey is that there's a disconnect here. There wouldn't be a desire to do more or less with it. And positioning it so that it remains there or that they get more stock isn't useful in the first place(to us, society, government). Is income tax disincentivizing people to work? But this is even less than that. Because this isn't their job, as it isn't a job. This is closer to a bank account and a service. And if they make a living out of it, then there's no reason not to treat it as a job, and tax it as income.

  23.  @cashewnuttel9054  That's not how countries become rich. Usually a person at that level can't impact it at all. And that says nothing about the current structure or just a lack of resources that limits a country. The current system is designed in such a way that it's very difficult to climb up. It's like the myth of mobility in the U.S. If it was like that, all the countries would just do it. So you have these two immense structural obstacles. The way the country currently is where a basic worker can't do much, like in the U.S. And a global system of countries that don't always let people rise. And then you have the limitations of resources to make it happen. Or money ect.

  29. It was covered in the 00s. And slightly before. I don't remember exactly how but I can imagine it's like you know when a chapter has sections. It was probably a chapter section. But I've always known. I imagine it was covered more than once. Since WW2 was covered in middle and HS anyway. I know they covered this specifically. Even in regular classes. There was also an awareness of this. I remember in middle school I think. The teacher also showed us a film that had this as a background to it. Like a guy was accused of murder with a kendo sword. And she had covered it as part of WW2 for 7 or 8th grade. Edit: I'll add this was in Philly.

  30.  @joshbaker6368  I mostly agree with you except one thing. Whatever other reforms happen, they have to be with whatever transitions into universal healthcare. That's an immediate now situation. And there are bills(or proposed ideas) that have 6-8 year transitions. But it all has to be part of that bill. What you have to take into account is that there are force* actively working against it from a business perspective. This is the kind of situation where we have to do it right away and iron things out later. Unless lobbying and money in politics or the very way we vote with first past the post. Which are all less likely than universal healthcare. I'm for any transition. And I'm for any improvement. But we sort of have to overshoot to get anything. We've had over 12 years where even the public option hasn't happened. Even further when you go back to Clinton, JFK, Or Harry Truman. Part of the reason for those wages being so high is because of the high cost of education. Often the same people that advocate for universal healthcare are for universal higher learning too. Or at least much more subsidized.

  31. @Ashton Lonee and I literally work with people on medicaid that see therapists. But that doesn't mean it's easy to get into. Especially for people that are single. Almost anyone who is with any kind of job is disqualified. Sometimes the opposite is true. If you don't have a job, somehow you don't qualify. Not all states cover low income basically(12 states don't). anyone that makes over 17,609 doesn't qualify. And that was due to the ACA. So for me that was 6 years as an adult without the possibility as well. I'm looking at my states' website for eligibility and it seems, based on their wording, that you have to be both low income and be responsible for a child. But it's listed as a state with expanded medicaid so it's not clear on this. And I didn't say medicaid isn't free, but emergency rooms.

  32. @Ashton Lonee Don't know how they did it. I'm talking from the experience I had with it. In both circumstances I was in. They might have a disability. Well you can always ask them how they got it or qualified.

  34.  @danny__921  you refuted your own statement in the second half. Lots of people lived there and those people created and identify themselves as Palestinians. It doesn't matter that some kingdom that is unrelated to modern israel existed for a microsecond in an area with lots of other kingdom. And none of that gives you the right to brutally oppress people. You literally turned against the world after it bestowed you that land yourselves.

  35.  @jonlenihan4798  you're showing opposition to those rights. That's on you. Israel can only control what it itself does. And that reflects on its beliefs.

  36.  @jonlenihan4798  sounds racist of you(or whatever the equivalent is). But no it's not. It's based on what the state wants to do. Literally isn't based on anything else. You're arguing for not giving people human rights. That means you don't recognize their humanity at all.

  40.  @thehonesttruth415  no. They shouldn't have declared war. But it was wrong of the U.N to carve land like that. Land should always revert back to the people. A government should derive from the people. I understand why they didn't want to be forced into it. There's no solution that I know of. But Israel at that time didn't have to come into being. But that has nothing to do with stealing land and oppressing people. That's a modern choice at this point.
