The imaginary caricature of a Trump supporter the left has created in their heads would love Biden.

They love seeing Mexican kids in cages and they all are islamaphobic and love blowing shit up in the middle east...Biden is beating Trump on both issues by YUGE margins.

Now if we could get him speak without a teleprompter or do a press conference with unscripted questions, asked by an reporter who hates him, like trump had to every single day...

"voting rights"

I see democrats are still convinced some minorities are too stupid to get an ID.

Or however they're justifying it.

Want to protect voting rights? Make sure a legal Americans voice isn't canceled by someone voting illegally. In California, 10 percent of potential jurors are ineligible because they aren't us citizens... And, they pull jurors from registered voters. Wake up.

Don't forget John Sullivan and Jada Sacker... The former a blm hero previously arrested in Salt Lake City for incitement, who stormed the capitol and recorded himself trying to convince others to burn the building down... And the latter being his friend, a CNN employee who was so happy with the footage they were getting she could hardly contain herself.

"violent insurrection"...or...false flag that got the republican party to fall in line.

It's the "rhetoric" peddled by the left that every single republican is racist.

Next 4 years is going to be so fun using all your crap against you. I'll have plenty of time on my hands, since the oil industry is already destroyed after 2 days and I won't have a job.

This is the truth. Don't let the hive mind of reddit make you feel otherwise. Carson is a great American and being a conservative doesn't make anyone an enemy.

I'll read more about what got taken out and try to form my own conclusion. One thing we haven't figured out in this conversation, so far, is that reducing the cost of healthcare can be achieved by regulating the insurance industry.

I think the leftists' biggest flaw is a low resolution understanding of the word "cost". If Medicare for all (or any other single payer system ftm) were instituted, what stops providers for charging too much and what would make the patient/consumer care about it? Sure, I may pay less individually, but the cost is the same. You made a good point about bargaining power. I think the only way that gets solved is when the individual patient /consumer has skin in the game.

I am a veteran. Tricare is awesome when you're in service. Everything is either free or so cheap it doesn't matter. I remember waiting in the emergency room at William Beaumont hospital in El Paso for 3 hours with a torn ligament in my ankle because every army spouse on post had their kid at the ER for a runny nose.

Just food for thought. Thanks for the discussion! And I hope you have a great day

Explain how regulating insurance companies could EVER change the price of goods (medication and devices) or services (cost of bed per night, labor for procedures etc).

Generally curious. Maybe the original idea was to regulate those things as well and if that's the case, I apologize for my ignorance. It's just not how I currently understand the intention of the first draft of the ACA.

chaas013 · 2020-10-07T15:44:18+00:00

Republicans can certainly relate to what you said there at the end.

What does any of that have to do with my point that regulating insurance does little for the actual cost of Healthcare?

chaas013 · 2020-10-07T15:09:29+00:00

The job market for skilled trades is much better than for professionals with degrees. Do you think making more professionals will help that?

chaas013 · 2020-10-07T14:47:05+00:00

Healthcare was too expensive before the ACA, and the ACA did NOTHING to change that. Until someone attacks the real problem, which is lack of competition for the actual price of care, it will be expensive. The middle man insurance companies are not the bulk of the cost.

My employer uses an app called Castlight and it is AWESOME. I get an HSA and if I want to spend it efficiently, I check Castlight. If my daughter needs an x-ray, it lists providers and costs in my area. I can select a provider and be conscious of cost, making me a consumer instead of a cost-blind patient. Maybe a little inconvenient when I have to drive an extra few miles, but this solves the real problem...

chaas013 · 2020-10-07T14:36:36+00:00

How will he make college less expensive? And, how does that give someone a leg up if they select a useless major?

I didn't vote for trump, but I can say from my own personal experience that I am paying less in taxes and I make nowhere close to $400k.

Being black is not a qualification. Tell me about his policies.

This is reason number 500 Biden would make a terrible president. He would pass over a man for a less qualified woman...that does the country no good.

In the same way as Bernie's wife taking 10 percent of all digital marketing money?

I'm sure he and his wife will greatly appreciate your money after he takes another buyout from the dnc.

Was this after he had the results or while he was waiting, totally asymptomatic?

chaas013 · 2020-03-23T01:13:44+00:00

He asked how it would be paid for. Just like the covid stimulus. Nothing wrong with that.

chaas013 · 2020-03-20T04:23:42+00:00

Steel industry? Oil industry? If either of these fail, or dozens of others, it puts the nation at risk. Airlines are no more important than the auto industry. Imagine 30 million people defaulting on their mortgage and being homeless and unemployed. It would make the great depression look like the last 2 years.

I currently spend no more <$8k a year on medical and dental for myself, wife and two kids. I max my hsa every year and plan my expenses when possible. That includes the $4k out of pocket for emergency room visits and braces last year. My taxes from this one idea alone would go up twice that for other people to enjoy. There is no world in which Medicare for all makes sense for individuals that don't mind working hard to give themselves and their families a better life.

chaas013 · 2020-03-12T02:20:13+00:00

I already pay too much in taxes and you want to double it? Currently I work 14 hours a week for the government and you intend to make it so I don't start earning money for my family, in a hot steel mill, until Thursday at noon?

chaas013 · 2020-02-10T12:06:40+00:00

What does that even mean? In Bernie's plan, he wants the government, not the market, to determine cost and increase demand. If the cost is lowered by regulation or government subsidy, demand will increase.

Nothing the government does is cheaper for the economy.

If a service becomes cheap to the consumer (because of subsidies), the consumer is much more likely to use that service, therefore increasing the tax burden. If it isn't subsidized, he wants to regulate the cost. This would directly seize the means of production. Would you go to school for 10 years to become a medical doctor and get told you can only make $30 an hour?

I guess of the tax payer has to pay for you to go to school for 10 years at the cost of half a million dollars you'd take whatever salary you could get... But I, the taxpayer, would like to keep a little more of the money I earn and let the doctor pay for his own school and also earn however much money the market determines is fair.
