It's not. Go single payer and gut the corporations from holding Americans health hostage. Save me some dam tax money while propelling America into the future.

The answer is someplace in the middle and away from Washington beauracrats.

100% called it IMO.
Time for term limits IMO. Tired of 80yo white male career politicians getting lifetime like appointments to congress and house or reps through redistricting. Time for some diversity and then maybe we can all stop drawing lines in the sand and start compromising to get shit done.
Also not a big fan of a 2 party system. Pretty sure 2 parties can't properly represent everyone in our country.
I respect John McCaine for his time in the service and time as a POW; but he needs to get out of politics. He has become the problem. There are not enough people in Washington in business other than the business of making a personal fortune.

When someone pays 2 million to "run" for a job that pays 200k a year RED flags should go off everywhere. No one in their right mind would do that unless they planned on stealing ti all back via power/money.

I don't think you thought that statement through. Single payer would put the GOVERNMENT in control of health care, which in turn would RAISE TAXES, and all those fun little cures and the tons of research that goes into finding them would STOP. Those "corporations" are the ones funding research that lead to innovations in the medical field. The only reason medical costs have been on the rise is because it has become a market without substance due to government regulation.

New Air Force One is pretty bad ass! 
Limo is a little over the top though. Trump digs it I guess.

Not even going to try to debate it. We can agree to disagree.
I am not nor will I ever take a pro capitalistic stance with regards to people's health/wellness/death. To me it's a right.
Don't worry - I'll still vote conservative because I care what my tax dollars are spent on.

should be now if you listen to our lobbyists. Increase in health benefits is hugely. LEED even offers points for natural day-lighting.
I do not have a problem with basic healthcare for diseases and emergencies/ accidents. I do not believe tax payer money should fund boob jobs (excluding breast cancer related repairs), sex changes, or any other elective surgery that has become so common in our society now days. If a person wants an elective surgery they should have to pay for it out of their own private health insurance or pocket. If they want better care than provided by the government system they can purchase their own private health insurance.
Pretty much the way the VA is supposed to work right now - except with less killing the patients.

The real problem is that Government fucks up nearly everything they touch. I don't see how they wont fuck up 'healthcare.' They certainly won't make it 'affordable.'

$5 Billion. Not bad welfare if you can get it.

Not to mention the fact that sales plummet when the rebate (read: subsidy) is taken away:
UK electric car sales decline after incentive is cut | Biofuels International Magazine
Tesla Sold Zero Cars In Hong Kong After The Govt Stopped Subsiding Them

While I agree, I do think it can be fixed and the gubment can handle things without screwing them up. Just need to change from lifetime bureaucrats to term limited good/honest people. Sadly I think we are going the wrong direction so.....
I'd be a bad business man I guess. Never ask anyone for anything especially handouts.
So is it too early to start a death pool for North Korea?
