    Somebody should tell Trump that.
    Why is Trump claiming the only thing wrong with government housing is that the right people aren't running it?

    You mean the ones NOT taking money from the Medical Mafia and Big Pharma??

    Good luck with that.


    You could get me to support a M4A of you created real, market-based competition to drive down pricing.

    As we? covered, good luck with that.





    Healthcare is an inelastic good. Your market forces mumbo jumbo doesn’t work. This is a fact and it is beyond dispute.

    That’s just not what the data says. Kidney transplants are like flat screens tv is a big brain libertarian idea but this is a hard evidence only thread and you don’t have any.

    Good on Trump. Sometimes horrible people do good things.

    This is how we? know you aren't a deep thinker.

    The only part of medicine that is truly inelastic is actual emergency services - heart attack, stroke, snapped a leg in half or otherwise maimed yourself.

    ALL the rest of it should work like any other technology that gets cheaper over tim. Like the 80" flat screen on your wall.

    But it doesn't.

    Why? Because the Medical Mafia and Big Pharma spend BILLIONS lobbying congress every year to create rules ensuring payments and effectuating an artificial monopoly over the market.

    Econ 101 - Monopolies only benefit suppliers. Really entry level concept here. One AOC and Bernie seem intent on failing to grasp.


    Trump forced hospitals to disclose the cost of care up front. A straight up WIN for the little guy. But since orangeman bad, really super bad, neither you or the MSM paid an ounce of attention to that win for the plebiscite.

    Things that have gotten substantially cheaper -Lasik eye surgery, breast implants, tummy tucks. None involving the government or insurance. All subject to a lot of advertising which indicates strong competition. Trump started a competitive push. We just need to finish it. When you see advertisement for hip replacement surgeries and the cost you will know it is getting cheaper. Starting to see a little of it with testosterone treatments and ED meds. Need to get everyone on high deductible HSA programs and self-funded HSAs. When you are using other people's money, you don't care about the cost. You do if it is your money.

    The kobe's of the world were stupid. Just like one of BO's "affordable care act" architects admitted publicly. How anyone could get behind this after what Jonathan Gruber admitted is a mystery but here Kobe is, proving Gruber right over and over and over again.

    ""This bill was written in a tortured way to make sure CBO did not score the mandate as taxes," he said during a panel discussion at the University of Pennsylvania in October, 2013. "Lack of transparency is a huge political advantage. And basically, call it the 'stupidity of the American voter' or whatever, but basically that was really, really critical to getting the thing to pass.”

    But, but the evil Republicans forced them to do that.

    Yeah, it’s almost like elective surgery and healthcare are two separate things.

    So far you guys have compared chemo therapy to flat screen TVs and tummy tucks. Stop, it embarrassing.

    Most surgeries that are performed are elective. It's not almost like you're a fucking moron, you are a fucking moron. Now tell how knee surgery and healthcare are two separate things dumbfuck?

    Knee surgery, tummy tuck, I literally can’t tell the difference.

    What is embarrassing is that they both are medicine so why has one dropped in price while having huge leaps in effectiveness. I know you leftards have no ability to wonder about things, just say stupid things and feels. What doesn't make it cheaper is offering "free" medical care to illegal aliens.

    “But Gruber didn’t work for the Obama administration!”

    One of my favorite Lib defenses when this came out years ago. He didn’t “work for the Obama administration” because he was on a federal contract that paid him $400,000 for a few months of work stuffing ObamaCare with handouts for donors instead of the $175,000ish he’d be capped at annually officially working as a federal employee.

    Leftists can only thrive on the ignorance of their base.

    What doesn’t make it cheaper is that people don’t give a shit what the price is when it’s healthcare. Literally all the data, all the studies show this. That’s why every single example you have is tummy tucks and flat screen TVs.

    Wait, what? People don’t care about the price of healthcare.

    What in the fuck are you talking about? Guessing you’re still on mom and dad’s insurance.

    A tummy tuck isn’t “healthcare,” you retard. Unreal how out of your depth you are here.

    He doesn't know what the fuck he is talking about. He is complete fucking moron and a coward. You'll notice he makes no mention of Lasik surgery or the hundreds of different forms of cosmetic surgeries that are most certainly healthcare. A system that required people to pay for their healthcare out of their own pocket, and yes knee surgery is both and elective surgery and healthcare would see the same drop in prices that we see with Lasik surgery.

    Yeah but “literally” every study says people don’t care about the price of healthcare. I can’t wrap my head around what he means.

    Probably the dumbest claim I’ve seen on this board.
