"Military *excellent* health care we fund" LULS The ignorance is real And no, the government spends most of the tax payers money in nothing more than interest to pay debt and bureaucracy. Only 30% of every dollar reaches it's target. And no citation needed, you completely ignorant moron. Plus, the monetary system makes it impossible to pay the debt since there is not enough currency, not even remotely, to pay the debt. A deflationary bust will kill the dollar sooner or later, just like it was about to do during the 2007/2008 crisis, problem which was only delayed and not fixed, not at all.

And yet your insurance covers & pays benefits to millions of other insured people, some of whom may cause way more accidents than you! Same thing with health care: you don't know if you'll ever be hospitalized or get cancer. Other people may get sick more or less often than you. Such is life. So everyone should pay in a certain percentage of their wages/salary, in the same way that everyone has to have liability car insurance.

Regulation is a case-by-case basis. There has been a new thing since then, which is opposing the woke and SJWs. Things I'm left-wing on is spending on public transit, especially in big cities. This benefits both transit users and car users as it takes would-be car drivers off the road and alleviates congestion. Another one would be child benefit payments and anything that increases the birth rate - though it should be only made to households that pay taxes so as to not encourage bums to just pop out kids for a living.

For almost every single medical condition there is, the earlier you address and treat it, the less expensive it is. If the only healthcare you have is an unaffordable ER, by the time it gets bad enough that you have to actually GO to the ER, not only are you probably dead already, but it's a hell of a lot more expensive too.

I love this part of the show where Rick Santorum expresses with such emotion " this is a bill that puts over 700 billion dollars for Obama Care (actually the Affordable Care Act). Like 700 billion for America's health care is a rip off of the American people. I think he forgets about the 700 billion dollars that was given to Wall Street, and the banks not once, but twice starting in September 2008. Both giveaways (welfare to the rich) to the wealthy to save their precious money machines were set up by the Bush regime. The first as already mentioned in 2008, and the second (800 billion) was given during the first year of the Obama presidency in 2009. In actuality the bailout continues to this day. The low interest paid on bank savings accounts to American depositors is rejuvenating the wealth of the banks. For ten years now people who have retired with a nest egg have not been able to count on the normal interest rates of four to five percent they use to enjoy. Today if they get 0.05% to a half of a percent on savings they feel lucky. They are more than likely using up the principal of their savings accounts as they grow older leaving nothing for their kids when they pass on. Santorum is a typical Republican hypocrite---money to the wealthy is all fine, and dandy. Taxes to pay for services that improve the health and well being of the average American is money wasted, and a rip off.

Moral hazzard should have applied to all financial institutions loaded up on toxic assets. Realistic home appraisals and support to help homeowners stay in properties would have been a better alternative. A significant percent of properties were routinely overvalued prior to 2007 and before the 08 meltdown. The priority for most people financing homes was to have a place to live and establish roots. Not to suggest that some of those purchasers didn't inflate their income. However, restructuring their payment arrangements would have allowed many of them to continuing living in their homes and continue building equity. Of course a lot of people were just in the market to flip homes. However I still think most people just want a place to live, build a life and is also an asset. I firmly contend that would have been a better option than TARP. Where even after receiving taxpayer support, banks foreclosed on many borrowers (forcing then further behind) and over saturated the housing market with another glut of overpriced properties, mortgages and inventory. Paulson either lacked vision or was an idiot. Helping the consumer stay in their property would have helped them and the banks. Prioritizing the banks has done little to aid the consumer and only added additional restrictions to potential borrowers. I'm disturbed how borrowers were vilified when the financial institutions were the ones that created the environment with products as toxic as adjustable rate mortgages. ...just my opinion.

"mike pence wouldn't be worse" bill maher is wrong. mike pence would be worse because he's a principled conservative while trump is not. Trump is more flexible and can be persuaded to be for something like single payer healthcare. mike pence would probably be better in talking to foreign leaders but he would not be better policy-wise. he would have been for tpp if it weren't for trump. he was for tpp before he joined the trump bandwagon

Ok, I think I have figured out your position in this latest crazy. You knew what was coming but this time you chose not to part take in it. Good for you. You learn. Not only would you not be a part of it, you chose to be very evidently there for me. You surrounded me all day (unwavering and obvious if not extreme), to make me feel sure. I Could be wrong but my instinct tells me that. It hasn’t failed me thus far. Well done William.

regarding Rick Santorum stating "people using the ER as a primary, I happen to know that for a ling time post 1985 and on, physicians (private/primary) advised patients to seek treatment via the ER. Slow is change, especially stuck in old advised behaviors. more education and ease of use for healthcare practises and benefits a must. Universal and simplistic health system can curb misinformation like nothing else.

Freedom to choose your health care provider is great, but not if you can't afford any of the myriad of options, or even IMO if the only options you can afford mean you have to pay a ton for each doctor visit.
