Why Avoid Discussing Health Care?

[Mister D]

I was talking about socialized medicine. I said nothing about "Obamacare". We have polling on that and the ACA's overall approval rating is about 50% (as compared with the Senate's repeal bill, which has an approval rating of 17%), with about half of Americans saying they want it reformed to do more. Only 7% want it reformed to do less than it presently does according to the last poll I saw.

Wait...are you suggesting that Obamacare was fought tooth and nail primarily because Americans wanted a more socialized healthcare system?

And I'm touched by your concern for poll results. Where were progressives like you when Americans rejected immigration for decades?

[Mister D]

Certainly the more poverty this government imports the more attractive "free" healthcare will be to the population at large. I don't find that difficult to believe.

Because many people actually think then the government will pay for it.

Many many years ago I used to argue this topic with some Canadians who argued the same, that their healthcare is free.
