Pay some tax and get health cover.
Whats wrong with that?
What’s wrong with pay some money, and get some health coverage? Cut out the middle man, seeing as the government is horrible with budgets and money.
...because that's how we got to where we are now? The free market is wildly inefficient when it comes to health care.

That's what we had prior to 2010.

Your precious private insurance companies either refused to insure people or made the premiums unaffordable or, when presented with a client with they did insure who suddenly found themselves facing a crisis pulled shit like this:

Woodland Hills-based Health Net Inc. avoided paying $35.5 million in medical expenses by rescinding about 1,600 policies between 2000 and 2006. During that period, it paid its senior analyst in charge of cancellations more than $20,000 in bonuses based in part on her meeting or exceeding annual targets for revoking policies, documents disclosed Thursday showed.
You're a bullshit artist, RR.

That sounds like you are saying the costs are too high.... I agree. How is raising my taxes to take everything going to help that?

Another fucking one??
There is something fundamentally wrong with a society that refuses to learn, makes excuses, and consistently fails to protect its children.
Those policy makers who continually fail to make decent policy, and make excuses while allowing this to happen need to be held accountable.

Seeing as how you are arguing against statements I didn't make... I would say that it is you who are the bullshit artist.

I wonder if there'll be less talk of arming teachers this time, since teachers decided to finally fight back for pay raises.
If all the poor people without health coverage just moved to sweden, that could solve the problem for everyone! I wonder if the US paid for the travel, if Sweden would be okay with that.
Britain insists on killing you, and wont let you leave, even if someone else is paying..... so it's hard to say.

Yes I did say that... and you said a lot, that has nothing to do with that.
You might put all your trust in President Trump, but I would rather have autonomy.

Time to reset the counters:
1 0 days since the last school shooting.
59 0 days since the last fatal school shooting.
26 days since the last shooting to fit the FBI's definition of "mass murder."
Is it strange that the thing I'm most surprised at is that it's been almost two months since someone died in a school shooting?
