I know a few lefties that have legitimate arguments

2020-11-20 22:30:07 UTC  

O.o

2020-11-20 22:30:13 UTC  

THEY EXIST

2020-11-20 22:30:17 UTC  

omg

2020-11-20 22:30:19 UTC  

Yeah man

2020-11-20 22:30:24 UTC  

It's bullshit that they don't

2020-11-20 22:30:37 UTC  

their shortfall is in their policy

2020-11-20 22:30:41 UTC  

it's not that good

2020-11-20 22:31:18 UTC  

nothing is perfect

2020-11-20 22:31:33 UTC  

but i think capitalism is the best we got sofar

2020-11-20 22:31:43 UTC  

Oh, but of course

2020-11-20 22:31:57 UTC  

But that shouldn't mean we should ignore its problems

2020-11-20 22:32:06 UTC  

of course

2020-11-20 22:32:16 UTC  

you can have a large business come in and wipe out competition with acquisitions for example

2020-11-20 22:32:30 UTC  

in a situation like this price controls may become necessary

2020-11-20 22:32:43 UTC  

and also limiting acquisitions a bit until the conditions relax

2020-11-20 22:33:07 UTC  

yeah

2020-11-20 22:33:18 UTC  

Private healthcare has this problem

2020-11-20 22:33:31 UTC  

prices are also insane due to alarmingly high medical costs

2020-11-20 22:33:41 UTC  

but the large businesses want to keep it this way

2020-11-20 22:33:54 UTC  

Because that's how they keep newcomers out

2020-11-20 22:34:09 UTC  

im fine with making changes to our health care im against free health care

2020-11-20 22:34:20 UTC  

"free" healthcare has one large problem

2020-11-20 22:34:26 UTC  

Reliance

2020-11-20 22:34:29 UTC  

especially in the US

2020-11-20 22:34:38 UTC  

People aren't necessarily known in the US for being the most responsible 😉

2020-11-20 22:35:08 UTC  

nor are they known for their education (as in they are ignorant)

2020-11-20 22:35:22 UTC  

What that ends up causing is reliance on public services

2020-11-20 22:35:27 UTC  

i think if they do a free health care thing they should do a optin thing. where if you want free health care they will take what they need out your paycheck and if you dont you do the private health care

2020-11-20 22:35:32 UTC  

which causes costs to shoot off to mega infinity

2020-11-20 22:36:11 UTC  

there would have to be more put into it obviously it wouldnt be that simple but thats as complicated as my brain can handle

2020-11-20 22:36:19 UTC  

lol

2020-11-20 22:37:23 UTC  

If I were to support a public option

2020-11-20 22:37:29 UTC  

I'd only go as far as public health insurance

2020-11-20 22:37:40 UTC  

but not a public healthcare system

2020-11-20 22:38:03 UTC  

that would work too

2020-11-20 22:39:30 UTC  

Yeah, insurance in the US needs reforms

2020-11-20 22:39:32 UTC  

private insurance

2020-11-20 22:39:36 UTC  

I wouldn't make it public but

2020-11-20 22:39:41 UTC  

private needs a big overhaul

2020-11-20 22:46:53 UTC  

As the insured isn’t paying the bill the insurance brokers get charged astronomical prices because “they can”.
Medical costs elsewhere where there are no middle men (insurance) the prices are a LOT lower.
