Reply #92: hey people, you can have health care when the gov't is solvent [View All]

[Strawman]

keep voting for incrementalists who tell us they're going to give 95% of people (oh wait, that's just 95% of kids) health care and keep watching more people go without it. The reason they are incrementalists is because they don't give a shit. It's just an empty campaign promise. Later on they know they can blame the failure on the lobbyists and the Republicans and get away with it. There's no real sense of urgency at all from them.

I can live with the states administering the program, and I'm not an expert on the details, but what is key is that there be UNIVERSAL GUARANTEED health insurance and a "single payer" and that would be the federal gov't. It should be recognized as a positive right of all Americans. Not a benefit.

Give 45 million people the ability to go to the doctor and see how compelling those people find arguments for smaller government. They might even be inspired to vote because they'd finally seen politics work for them.
