    The 2nd Amendment is more important than health care. The dumbfucks who voted for this would buy ammunition over insulin shots.

        Yeah, I think a lot of people want to speedrun this happening without realizing that in reality it’s just gonna lead to a lot more crime and a lot lower quality of life.

        The glorious revolution that results in a brand new glorious era for America is not that likely to happen in this scenario. Most revolutions don’t really turn out that great, if you ever even get to the revolution phase as everyone is just robbing and killing each other out of desperation.

      The question is: how broken will their spirit be by the time that happens?

      Will they just lay down in fear and exhaustion rather than rising up against the people and system that abused them for so long?

    It’s incredible how Democrat sentiment is so bad in the face of this. Millions poured into consultants, and they can’t figure it out?

    Their vocabulary should be two words:

    • Epstein.

    • Trumpcare.

    That’s it.

    That’s all they need to say to win.

    If they’re feeling frisky, sprinkle in a “huh, you know, maybe a few near trillionaires shouldn’t rob you with AI?”

    They were literally handed a actual pedo cabal and a direct existential crisis even hardcore Republicans are feeling anxiety over, on a silver platter. And somehow they’re messing that up?

    I’m dysfunctional as hell, and even I couldn’t mess that up.

      The issue is that democrats would rather lose elections than make healthcare affordable. It’s not bad strategy, it’s the logical consequence of their interests

        You don’t understand that the majority of americans aren’t willing to pay for any tax increase to pay for public healthcare. As soon as you mention it the media and opposition go off on socialism and taxes and the voters go “Omg! Evil socialism!!”

          USians don’t need to pay for tax increases to pay for public healthcare, USians already pay exceedingly expensive healthcare. Government expenditure doesn’t come from taxes, the federal reserve can literally create money at will at a keystroke. Expropriation of the existing hospitals and clinics by the state would already make healthcare much cheaper than it is, because right now the wealth is siphoned off to rich people and corporations.

      The BEST Route is to NOT get Political and ALSO not use ANY Leverage we may have as THAT will be Seen as Political! Run on PARDONING the Pedophiles and TRYING to Bring down Healthcare Costs we Caused to skyrocket!

      -Highly Paid Democratic Strategists who KEEP losing but somehow STILL get Paid MILLIONS!

    I have a clinical colleague who worked in the US for a few years. I think their description of US healthcare is best summarized as follows. Has the potential to be the greatest on Earth. In reality, the quality of care provided is far below European standards. She was mortified to discover that diabetics routinely had below knee amputations whereas in the rest of the world, with the exact same clinical picture, care would be provided to prevent worsening of diabetic foot.

      for type 2 is lack of nutrional education, proper managment as well. because it so expensive, plus you have things like insurance making you pay into your preniums before they fully cover any medical care. mortality for women in pregnancies seems to be worst, and AA people have the worst rates.
