not like the US, but yes

2017-05-31 16:06:20 UTC  

@fallot explain

2017-05-31 16:06:21 UTC  

it's bad though

2017-05-31 16:06:23 UTC  

What i'm suggesting is not that absurd, fallot. Our system is already highly concentrated at the very top - the sickest 1% or so account for like 40-50% of our healthcare costs. If we move to guarantee treatment as a right we're looking at an enormous tax burden increase.

I can't simply by myself open up a clinic where I see patients

2017-05-31 16:06:49 UTC  

however, I can group up with a bunch of other specialists and start my own private healthcare firm

2017-05-31 16:06:53 UTC  

today's food situation is a typical example of what happens when standards replace reality

2017-05-31 16:07:04 UTC  

we have tons of surplus food that according to "standards" is healthy

2017-05-31 16:07:08 UTC  

and even acessible

2017-05-31 16:07:10 UTC  

but it just sucks

2017-05-31 16:07:18 UTC  

@UOC from what I've heard expanding medical to everyone would be around 20 trillion

2017-05-31 16:07:26 UTC  

Medicare

2017-05-31 16:07:31 UTC  

communist countries with heavy industry and nuclear power plants had *better* food than in capitalism

2017-05-31 16:07:37 UTC  

because food was decomodified

2017-05-31 16:07:40 UTC  

this is false

2017-05-31 16:07:42 UTC  

but it was lacking

2017-05-31 16:07:46 UTC  

and hence the problem

2017-05-31 16:07:47 UTC  

its simply not true

2017-05-31 16:07:50 UTC  

what you just said

2017-05-31 16:07:50 UTC  

go third path instead

2017-05-31 16:08:08 UTC  

fake news!

2017-05-31 16:08:15 UTC  

i mean "better"

2017-05-31 16:08:17 UTC  

@OJneg @fallot depends on how you do it. That's my whole point. Doing it as a "right" makes it way harder to say "this much, and no more" than just doing it as a program

2017-05-31 16:08:20 UTC  

take it with a doze of flexibility

2017-05-31 16:08:27 UTC  

it was less industrialized

2017-05-31 16:08:30 UTC  

it's the slogan of the other side

2017-05-31 16:08:46 UTC  

but at the same time if you are offering it to everyone regardless of their circumstance (except nationality)

2017-05-31 16:08:49 UTC  

I hear in N Korea everyone gets free hOver boards

2017-05-31 16:08:56 UTC  

it is a right, extended by the government

2017-05-31 16:09:18 UTC  

"this much and no more" is a practical issue

2017-05-31 16:09:31 UTC  

You're speaking philosophically and you're correct. But legally, "right" is different than "law enacted by congress"

2017-05-31 16:09:44 UTC  

how are the people who say right speaking

2017-05-31 16:09:48 UTC  

I don't know

2017-05-31 16:09:48 UTC  

philosophically or legally?

2017-05-31 16:09:53 UTC  

I think philosophically

2017-05-31 16:09:54 UTC  

they don't specify lol

2017-05-31 16:09:55 UTC  

its a moral argument

2017-05-31 16:09:59 UTC  

I think you're right

2017-05-31 16:10:29 UTC  

I think you're law enacted by congress

2017-05-31 16:10:37 UTC  

They don't Know how they're speaking they just want free stuff

2017-05-31 16:10:56 UTC  

haha but it is the way of the jew to speak with double meanings and retreat to the safe one if he's called out
