1). -I don't get it. I already explained it. "It has nothing to do with what would be better in terms of having healthcare or not, it has to do with planning ahead. What's the point in free health care if you can't get it when you need it?" What's not clear about that?

2). -Tucker is just asking a question about a general what if scenario. You can't honestly tell me you think there's zero possibility that there could at some point, end up a shortage of medical supplies because of the reliance on China. Tucker didn't elaborate because he didn't have to. It's definitely possible, even if unlikely. So he has a point, even if you don't think it means much based on the likelihood. 

1). So let's just have no healthcare at all.  Why bother, right?

2). Tucker is ONLY bringing this up because of M4A.  Why didn't he say shit about this before?  If it's not about M4A but merely leverage in general, why is it an issue now?  And why have you gone out of your way to bring up M4A in regards to the issue?

And we keep telling you (and Tucker) that we not as dependent on China for medical supplies as you two keeping claiming we are.  The top 40 medical equipment suppliers are all US, Euro and Japanese companies. And the top 25 medical supply chains are all US and Euro companies.

The only thing that China does have a strong hold on is the pharmaceuticals. They manufacture a lot of our medication. But we already have system sin place for that.  All major distributors in the US maintain several months worth of supplies in the event of a national emergency (war, trade, natural disasters, etc...) and they maintain lists of alternative manufacturers for all the critical and most commonly used medications.

So gain, it has shit all to do with China and everything to do with trying to make M4A look bad. 

Oh, and by the way, the one person that can harm our medical supply chain with China the most is Trump.  It's his trade war that births even the notion of a supply cut off from China.  But yeah....M4A. 

That's your opinion, based on what you've used to support it, and you're free to have and express it. Hopefully Tucker never get's to say I told ya so.
