The current president is not for Universal Healthcare.

As for Obama, healthcare spending did not explode under Obamacare. The growth in health spending decreased several percentage points in the 2010s compared to the '90s and the '00s and is now close to being in line with GDP growth. What Obamacare succeeded in doing was getting millions of new people enrolled in the healthcare system and the fact that it managed that while slowing health care spending growth should very much be lauded. Obviously big changes are necessary, but you have to keep in mind that Obamacare was very much a compromise bill, and it was not purely the vision of Democratic lawmakers.

EDIT: Also, I think it is very important to remember what the healthcare policy has been for the leading party for the past four years. Repeal and....we'll figure something else out later. Is it really a surprise that we don't have M4A?

Haha, its incredibly naive to believe anything Cuba says. But okay.

I'm glad we agree, "healthcare is a human right" really just means socialism. I made that point in a previous post.

Eating food and drinking water could be seen as a human rights as well, I might even agree. I am also okay with it being very profitable for some to be in the business of providing food and water. Hence, I fail to see why something like healthcare can't be profitable. Again, even the countries with socialized healthcare tend to have private options.

Education is seen as a human right. But if people want to pay for the less shitty government option we have, that's fine with me. I'm glad they have the for profit option.

I'm somewhere in the middle about healthcare in this country. I would prefer we just move towards making it more affordable and socializing aspects that can bankrupt people. But the state we are currently at leaves me not surprised people just want it free.

Healthcare is a right actually means socializing healthcare. Everybody saying it knows that, but its possible Biden doesn't know that given he's possibly senile.

My main point about Obama was he boasted he was going lower healthcare premiums. Essentially the compromise is making things more affordable. When Obamacare passed I actually cancelled my insurance because it became too expensive. Shit like that is why there was a backlash towards Obama. Your graph doesn't reflect that. But it was common knowledge this was happening, when it was supposed to be the opposite.

Oh, fuck off. 

Feel free to read Biden's plan if you want to know what is in his plan. That said, I'm not sure why you would expect a fundamental rearrangement of the entire healthcare system given that he has been in power for, like, four months...

As for your point about Obamacare, it has always been a terrible point which is poorly supported by evidence. Healthcare premiums rose for some people. They lowered for others. Others who were previously out of the market entirely were able to enter the market. Looking at healthcare spending as a whole however, shows that the explosive growth in healthcare spending that some people claim happened, didn't actually happen. 

You are watching way too much faux news my friend the vast majority of all the protests over the past year have been peaceful (over 95%).  Also since the US has a highly militarized police force most of the ones that turned violence where shut down in no time, heck major a one in Dallas got shut down even though there was no violence at all.  The US has been pros in shutting down protest and strikes and union busting for over 100 years already.

Doesn't matter.
If you have political parties who are against (It's irrelevant who is actually in power) and a large swathe of the populace like yourself who constantly criticize anything about "Government intervention" then things won't change, it adds additional roadblocks to improvements and progress because "votes".
In short you are part of the problem.

It also doesn't help that the USA had 4~ years of failure by a conservative government which rolled back some progressive improvements... Because contrary to popular belief, Universal Healthcare generally doesn't happen overnight, it takes allot of systemic changes and legislation that can span decades.

Health care, human lives, should never be about profits.

You want your healthcare to reach a point where the word "insurance" isn't even used.

Sorry, but to counteract your point, it's incredibly naive to believe anything USA says.  But Okay.

Now that we have set the propaganda aside, there have been various studies around the world about Cuban healthcare system and how successful it's been. Hell even Obama praised it. Cuba did healthcare much better than most countries, just admit it.

Also you are talking to a guy that wants education for all and for both healthcare and education to be managed in the universal system all around the world. Public funding already funds most of the research in the world already and were it not for public funding, the vaccines wouldn't have been produced so quickly. I also believe in a livable minimum wage no matter what job you do. 

And when I say healthcare is a human right, I believe everyone should get it and I'm talking about actual healthcare, not "access" to it like some Dems like to say. I also think no human should starve to death or die of thirst, so yeah. And every human should have clean drinking water. The point though is that I said profit as the primary motive. And that's what the US as a policy has. Other industrialized countries don't have that. And hey, if socialized healthcare works the best in the world and has been shown time and again to be the best, then of course I'll endorse it and why wouldn't anyone? Is it because "socialism bad" or some nonsense?

Personally I think Socialism is just better than Capitalism. I also think both anarchism and libertarianism are stupid so I'll lay it all out there. But looking purely at healthcare, It can be seen around the world that socialized healthcare works the best if your aim is the betterment of humanity. Splatterings of heavily regulated private insurance companies is a separate discussion from what should be the central system. That requires a new conversation altogether.

I live in the Nowhere, Texas (which is hyperbole that's not to be confused with the real town of Nowhere, Oklahoma) and the biggest problem around here isn't even the cost of health care, it's access. There's no hospital here! Not even a clinic in town! People here consequently just don't do preventative care, which might be helpful in preventing hospital visits, especially considering that the median age here is like 52, and they don't journey to a hospital either for what are thought to be minor emergencies even. Only for the most catastrophic events do people typically bother introducing themselves to the medical system.

That said, I remember one time when my mom had a stroke. (This was back when she was alive.) It was over an hour's drive to the nearest hospital, but of course under the circumstances there was no choice. Still, if you know how strokes work, the delay in travel time alone could've resulted in permanent damage! Thankfully though, she recovered almost fully and was hospitalized for only four days. All this for the low, low price of just $83,000 to us, since we had no insurance. Ask me how we paid it!

In the words of Austin Powers, YaY capitalism!

So when hear millionaire ass-wipes on my TV screen screeching about how much a system of socialized medicine they're under exactly no threat of experiencing might add to the federal budget deficit (while naturally championing more tax cuts for billionaires in the next breath, always)...ya know, try and imagine my sympathy. Try and imagine it. Try and imagine how much more concerned I am about the federal budget than I am about oh say my own for example.

When the government provides -- or even just otherwise guarantees -- people health insurance, more people access health care services. When more people access health care services, medical facilities survive and more clinics and hospitals get built. There is, in other words, a direct relationship between the two things: cost and access.

Haha, I love your reaction.

I guess his promises and rhetoric along the campaign trail are not important. I mean that's just for votes, right? Biden has already done a lot of damage "progress" in four months. The healthcare issues is surprisingly not a focus in spite of many trillions being spent. I guess the plan is spend many more trillions on healthcare... eventually. And fortunately it will only affect the rich.

Healtcare rose for some and lowered for others. In some circles we call that wealth redistribution. The great thing is it also punished normal working people not making much. But he meant well and lying was just necessary. Either way, the compromise was ultimately shit and that's why people still wanna blow up the entire system.

Are you a Trump supporter?
