Quote:So we're agreed on most things. 10 week cut off. Getting back to affordable college. Healthcare for all.


We just disagree on the way to implement these things.


The college debt crisis was a result of the liberal mindset that everyone should go to college, along with the federal government backstopping student loans which meant that anyone could get a loan no matter what classes they attended and colleges could raise prices over and over since the payment was always in the distant future. Supply and demand worked here as well. Because of government interference the supply of college-bound teens increased a lot faster than the number of available seats.


Single payer health care in the US is a proven failure as seen by the VA scandal, but there are other ways to fix healthcare. We could eliminate insurance for all but the catastrophic illnesses, and let the free market decide the rates. We could save a huge amount of money just by not requiring prescriptions for most medicine.


Or we could use the abortionist model our <del>nine</del> eight rulers just mandated and allow anyone to practice medicine, no credentials necessary.
