So your saying that Trump's bloated budget is not adding tons of money to the US debt.

Yeah, but the US is the best and most successful country, which means everyone else must be wrong.

Problems:

1. Irrelevant comparison
2. Ties into the first one but the "coverage cost for all under current system" is totally hypothetical regardless of study (the author can't accurately project what will happen to the "overhead" or it's potential when health insurance customers already buy in bulk without a mandated single payer plan)
3. The current system is cheaper for who it already covers than either of the proposed two alternate scenarios

Tricky for people to interpret but there's actually 3 parameters in play rather than 2 yet we're here complaining about a 6% savings rate for applying medicare for all when our current path comfortably beats both options in savings ?

How are Americans against healthcare ? That's just a misconception ... 

"Better" is totally arguable when America leads in cancer care, having more specialists, higher standard medical practice (malpractice/defensive medicine are real issues with physicians the US), medical equipment or diagnostic tools and FDA regulations are absolutely stringent (it is the gold standard among all regulatory public health bodies for drug and medical device approvals) compared to the rest of the world ... 

Most important of all is that Americans are willing to pay for quality rather than quantity as seen through their investment for private care ... (5 of the top 10 leading pharmaceutical companies are American so they are also leading investors in advanced biotechnology) 

open border koch bros? yeah they can eat shit and die. socialism can do the same.

I'm sick and tired of hearing this... you know who is no 2 and 3 in military power... Russia and China... you want to see over power to either of those nations?

Half of the US citizens are brought up with the idea that giving something to the poor is a bad thing. Ironically the same half considers themselves predominantly Christian while the other half who wants an extension of social programs has a much higher percentage of atheists among them. It'd be funny if if it wasn't so sad.

I wouldn't want to live in a country which considers taxes, socialism and government regulation, which are all meant to protect its citizens, an inherently bad thing.

M8, facts don't work on stupid thick-skull Murican's :P

Universal healthcare costs alot yes, but EVERYONE payes for it so it is not that bad in the end. i'm living in sweden and we pay a shit-ton of taxes so that everyone can have some kind of safety.. and that is something worth paying for imo.

but that would never work in the US, too scared to be kind to the collective country, it is states, them & us mentality all the way in that country. the fractured states of america
