    Because I'm not a socialist retard and I understand economics. This garbage is brought to you by the same people who said the ACA would lower Healthcare costs and that Covid lockdowns and spending wouldn't lead to inflation.

      The US already spends more taxpayer dollars per capita on healthcare than any other first-world nation and with worse outcomes and a lower life expectancy than most of them. Any serious attempt to cut spending would include implementing universal healthcare, instituting something similar to Milton Friedman's negative income tax (basically replacing all social programs and the associated bureaucracies with UBI), ending corporate welfare and subsidies entirely (including oil and corn subsidies), and drastically reducing our military presence throughout the world.

        Right, the same thing Obamacare was supposed to fix, but of course it didn't, because any time the government gets involved in anything **** gets more expensive, less available and the quality decreases. There's a long track record of this.

          Yes, because we refuse to do what already works in every other first world country. Universal healthcare and, on top of that, any medications developed through publicly funded research should be free of charge to the American consumer, minus a nominal service fee for whatever pharmacy happens to fill the prescription. Why should we be charged to access something we have already paid for?

            Yeah and they have difficulty accessing Healthcare, pay out the ass in taxes, and is only viable because it's propped up by the US. Make those other weak ass useless countries cover their own defense and give themnonaccess to our innovations and see how fast their already ****ty healthcare collapses. Free markets and the profit incentive leads to more innovation and advancements, lower prices and more availability, government interference always leads to the exact opposite. But of course you're a Bernie bro socialist, you have the mentality of a child where you think the government can just declare things "free" and everything will work out perfectly.

              Whether you want to use the list which ranks them in terms of raw dollars or per capita, nine of the top ten countries in the world by military expenditures provide healthcare to their citizens. The US is the only one that does not.
              Free markets and the profit incentive leads to more innovation and advancements
              Perhaps, but the US healthcare system is not an example of this. More than 80% of drugs on the market - and every drug approved in the past decade - was developed through publicly funded research. This is an excellent example of how corporate America always tries to socialize the risks and privatize the rewards. It's time to cut off their welfare checks. They can either exist in a truly free market and fund their own research or the government can simply manufacture the drugs themselves for a fraction of what we're spending to prop up Argentina and the savings to consumers would benefit other sectors of the economy.
              lower prices and more availability, government interference always leads to the exact opposite.
              Again, we already spend more capita on healthcare than any other developed nation, yet rank 49th globally in life expectancy and, when compared to 11 other developed nations, ranks last in terms of outcome, access, and efficiency.

                I never said the US was a free market Healthcare system, that's just what I want, because free markets are always better than government control. You started this stupid argument by saying if I don't like spending I should advocate for universal Healthcare, because it will lower spending, say the same socialist economically illiterate clowns who promised Obama Obamacare would do exactly that, yet it did the opposite, and your solution is even more government control. No, that's retarded. If we want to fix our spending we get government out of the business of healthcare, not only because Medicare and Medicaid make up the vast majority of our spending, but also because the only thing the government is good at is killing people. So no, I want to cut the spending, that doesn't mean I want more government, that means I want the government to stop spending money. Stop getting involved in areas where the federal government has no business being involved in. Completely privatize Healthcare and get the government out, that will cut a lot of spending.

                    You were right when you said Trump is mainly responsible for inflation since he was in charge of most of the covid spending.
                    They actually spent pretty similar amounts, but the ridiculous thing was by the time Biden took office that stupid vaccine was being administered to about 1mil per day, the federal government's job was over, yet Biden made sure to keep the emergency orders in place for an additional year and spent like a retard when there was no reason to.
                    The fact that inflation was dropping when Biden was president and it has only gone up under Trump
                    Lol, wut? You just make up so much **** but speak with such confidence.

                        Inflation skyrocketed under Biden and never reached the target 2% average, and it has nothing gone up under Trump, even Jerome Powell, not a Trump fan, has said there's been no real increase in inflation so far. You're so dumb.
