And that is how you end up paying for everybody being sick is through taxes on a one payer system

i mean, I cant blame anyone for being against giving up more of their income to compensate for another person's mistakes.

We pay for fire service, though.

And police.

through local taxes

Paying for someone else's mistakes when it comes to a fire starting is fine?

not federal

Why does that matter?

a one payer would be another federal tax

You're not having to also then give insurance companies money, though, since your health coverage comes through taxes. It's not like you're paying it through taxes and then also giving medical companies and hospitals boatloads of money.

There's no such thing as being slapped with a medical bill that you have to spend the rest of your life paying off, because you have the audacity to actually get sick or hurt.

I mean he has a point, the US medical system is a farce

And well, we can also lump in alot of unfortunate circumstances, like car accidents or well, accidents in general

with people who put themselves in said situations

And you don't get cases of someone's insurance turning down their cancer treatment because she had acne as a teenager.

So, arguing against socialized healthcare? I dont see why we are arguing

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

What? I was talking about private insurance companies.

Since they're for-profit.

And the discussion started with how leftist policies tend to require more taxes to support

And Kane used the example of Healthcare

Yeah, I'm not denying that lol. I just think healthcare would be one of those things people wouldn't mind paying a bit extra in taxes for.

was I false?

maybe some but not all

Well, I can see why, but I think most people jsut want to pay less in general.

But thats just me, and it is wrong of me to assume the same of everyone.

And well.. I was also trying to rationalize why people wouldnt be in support of well.. More taxes for healthcare

I doubt there are people out there looking to pay the most for something just to pay more for the same

I guess it would be if I trusted most people to be responsible healthy adults and the people running it to be efficient

then ask yourself, is the government efficient?

Lol, hell no

Well, with very few exceptions

No, of course not lol.

I could name a few I considered efficient

only those that trust the gov want to give their health over to them

But thats only opinion

I am curious, which?

Actually just Singapore, but I am sure they have their issues as well

Problem is, its a very tiny country, with well no notable physical exports.

ah, but that would be because they are much smaller and can micromanage everything
