 I said there were other factors, but the evidence still stands. Healthcare has a lot to do with it. I honestly have a hard time understanding why people are so opposed to it. I understand the tax payer funding, but we fund all kinds of useless shit. At least this is a positive. And I don't think the government is using healthcare as a pretext to control us. This scenario follows the situation to it's most irrational end and uses it as evidence against. Preposterous. I've always been fascinated with socialized medicine since traveling some ten years ago and realizing it was THE standard all around the world at that time. I wondered why we're virtually the only developed country without it. I still cannot figure it out other than the brainwashing the populus was fed - same with socialism. Put young handsome Reagan on the radio denouncing the red scare and everyone's terrified. Even on this forum, where one usually encounters a plethora of arguments, I've yet to hear a logical reason for not implementing socialized health care. No one even cares about this issue anymore here. It's all Alex Jones, Obama's birth certificate, and conspiracy bullshit. Let's debate actual issues, like healthcare!
