    Medicare For All is not free healthcare, as in on the government’s dime, it is entirely paid for by taxes.

    Yeah, no shit sherlock. Socialist / Communist countries like Cuba also pay for Health Care.

    That doesn’t change the fact that several important examples (Soviet Union, Cuba, and now most recently, Venezuela) have collapsed… or are currently collapsing under that load and those costs.

    We know plenty of examples of countries who have done that. My question is why the fuck do you want to bring it to the USA?

      Why do you keep pointing out these Marxist countries and ignoring the perfectly functioning western liberal democracies with policies like these? There’s literally one on our northern border.

      We’re the only 'first world" country without centralized healthcare. So the other countries that have done that would be… All the other first world countries, and all of them spend way less on healthcare then we do in the US.
