Just asking . no offense to anyone . but is this mainly a dem/liberal board in here?

I’m hopeful for free healthcare to happen in my lifetime

There are pros and cons to it. Our system isnt exactly terrible. It hurts a lot of people but helps a lot too. Itd be interesting if we ever do get it tho

yes, but not by design. a lot of educated people here and not many NT conservatives have been able to stick around without being out debated or banned for racist antics.

It's a kale eating libbie echo chamber.

Also these *******s showed Whitaker on CNN in the ad when I'm sure he's been on Faux news before.

Trump is due for a racist hail Mary in West Virginia or something.

This thread values, facts, empathy and common sense, not everyone agrees with that for some reason.

Our system isnt exactly terrible.

It's pretty terrible considering we're living in one of the most advanced nations. Our healthcare system is largely catered to the affluent. Same song and dance as other institutions.

"Great healthcare is available. But you probably don't have access to it"

Urgent healthcare centers have alleviated some of the costs for common illnesses for people without insurance. But if those same people find themselves with a heart condition or something and need emergency care, it will literally turn them upside down financially.

also worth mentioning that a few of us started out conservative or libertarian a few years ago but have since drifted left (thanks, in part, to well-reasoned arguments by people on NT).

Allegedly*

technically speaking, we have the best health care in the world, on average, but we also have the most expensive health care, even adjusted for quality.

we can reduce cost and increase access without sacrificing quality substantially.

ACA helped but too often we still have people avoiding getting health care because of fears of the cost. this is bad.

 

[RustyShackleford]

Our healthcare system is terrible for an advanced nation.

The fact some people get good care is not a good metric to use.

18 hours since the last Trump tweet

5 days since the last Fox News tweet

We're not even in the top 10.

I'd say the best resources available, they're just not that available. When I was in the hospital I marveled and all the tech, but even with insurance I was left with a hefty bill. Can't imagine what it would be like for someone without insurance or with lesser insurance.

 

[$tatus $ymbol]

We do not have the best health system. Other OECD countries are doing better than us and for far less.

 

[IATT]

There are some very odd things within the US health care system before you even get to the absurd pricing..

Like the rate of death during childbirth.. than you have that whole situation Serena Williams brought to light.. plus prescription drug problem(s)

 

[Fozz]

I feel like Fox is going to start changing their tune. They know what's about to happen.

Yea.. this is probably the best way to describe it.. US probably has the most and best readily available equipment and facilities

Like when trump was attacking megyn Kelly when she was still there...

by out debated do you mean out numbered (I get that sense here)

Shhhhh... I like living somewhere that's still somewhat affordable. Don't ruin it.

Get ready for suitland to be gentrified lol
