Public school is free and a lot of the system is trash. I believe everyone should have access to healthcare, but if it's free for everyone what is the quality going to be like? and if it's free high quality healthcare for everyone, do I have to pay 75% of my paycheck to the gov't?

Free college? see my previous paragraph.

Getting rid of private prisons I'm 100% behind though.

I just don't want us to end up looking like....Venezuela...

Single payer healthcare works for every other country and it will cost you LESS in taxes than it currently costs you in insurance fees + taxes.

You will still have access to private college education if you want to pay for it, but having free college tuition for people who can’t would be a win no matter how you slice it.

I don't know the numbers off the top of my head but western nations with successful universal healthcare make their citizens pay a grip in taxes....correct me if I'm wrong.

Not trying to be a contrarian, but one thing I learned in life....nothing is free...ever.

My thing is, I don't feel I should have to pay for Carlos to eat himself to 450lbs, and then as a result, has about 7 different major medical issues that we all have to pick up the tab for.

Or Becky who smokes 7 packs of cigarettes a day.

My boy's father is a doctor and he says at least half the patients he sees is directly due to their lifestyle habits.

This is an unhealthy country, not only spiritually but physically. Free healthcare doesn't sound too feasible...at least the free part.

Countries that have single payer healthcare pay LESS for BETTER healthcare outcomes than we do. So what are you saying?

Furthermore, what is your solution for these people with bad lifestyle choices? Turn them away when they show up to the emergency room and let them die in the streets?

Today, when those people show up to the emergency room with no health insurance guess who fits the bill? That’s right you do.

With single payer healthcare that same person will have better access to preventative health care which will cost us less in the long run. And the cost is shared amongst us all by way of taxes.

It’s a win for everybody. There is simply no good argument against single payer healthcare no matter how you slice it.

Come again? Obama accomplished all of this with a Republican Congress obstructing his every move in unprecedented fashion.
Black people are still the worst off in wealth, still having our rights violated by police and the justice system, and still facing all the LOCAL failures of state and municipal Democratic governments

Dems undermine our political and economic power and then try to guilt us into supporting those actions. I have nothing against Latinos but I really dont see what the fukk a socialist Latino is going to do for black people. Dems have tossed black issues to the side like the GOP did to Michael Steele

:what: Venezuela is like that because of healthcare and free college? Come on you can't be serious. What about petroleum and corruption? What about all the Northern/Western European countries striving with similar characteristics?
Nah breh those critics aren't valid.

Everyone is not college material. Make the entrance exams more difficult and bring back trades.

Most of what you’re complaining about is the fault of conservative lawmakers and judges on the state and federal level.

Obama made several inroads to reform criminal justice just to have most of his progressions reversed by Trump and yet you’re here bytching about Obama instead of placing the blame where it should be.

That republicans are blatantly shooting your house up with ak47’s but you reserve most of your venom for Obama.

It’s baffling.

To be fair, the only reason she won was because her opponent didn’t take her seriously at all. He didn’t campaign, debate or even acknowledge the election board.
