People who haven't seen this should watch for... let's say 2 or so minutes?

Until you get the point.

I knew of this debate before I knew of Tim, or his affection for Bernie.

Said affection has always.. surprised me in light of this.

This debate was hard to find aside from Crowder's upload.

And the reason I say Ted Cruz crushed, is because he's pretty much the Anti-Bernie to this woman.

"Your story is VERY COMMON now. It's a problem and its endemic."

I'm paraphrasing.

socialism is like coming up with a hypothesis, and testing the data until it fits said hypothesis, even though you have no idea how to do so

had a different subject

and actaully, I'm somewhat for socialized healthcare, I do wish we could figure out a way to pay for it

because I don't think peopel should go broke because they get sick and/or unlucky

i've seen it too many times and while I know it has it's own problems, I actually would like to see a feasible socialized health care

I'm also for the alterative, making it so damn cheap that everyone can easily afford it through capitalism

either way

I was gonna say, you're going to have to drop the price either way

yup

and I do believe its artificially high right now

due to lack of negotiation

I've completely forgotten this, but.

lack of ability to negotiate I should say

What is it that's caused the medical costs to go through the roof?

I also want Drs to be able to make money

many reasons

... The most disappointing answer of all.

at least in the US

its not just one thing

?

Well you didn't list the things..

do I have to?

I mean its pretty standard reasons

High cost of entry to become a doctor is one

Okay but

I've forgotten the standard reasons.

for-profit insurance, lack of competition, for-profit drug companies, for-profit education for drs, for-profit student loan companies (and btw I'm a capitalist, I just think most of the costs of obfuscated so not easy to compete)

Patients pay the bill ultimately for doctors going to school

Dirty tactics by insurance in general

insruance meanting health insurance and malpractice

hospitals charge different rates and many times you can't just "shop around" because the billing codes are "hidden" unless you know how to navigate the beauracracy

and that's just for starters

and again, I'm for competition and not for socialism, but that's not what we're talking about here
