I haven’t complained at all, just even though I don’t really stand with them on most topics, took issue with making the idea that because were not #1 in healthcare and some don’t want to model after those above due to many legitimate reasons and think you grossly overestimate the total quality of life over I europe or Canada, as someone else just pointed out, missing the true costs of their “better” care when all transfer pricing is tallies up and also reject your implicit argument that scale doesn’t matter. Every public or more generous proposal makes the argument that scale matters but in a positive manner only. Or at least only discuss the gains and try to make the costs as opaque as possible. I’m suggesting there’s not nearly enough analysis on the true costs and is the scale could have a detrimental effect. It’s all theory but to put it in play the onus is on the ones proposing change, especially rational change, to make the case, not the other way around. Persuade skeptics, opponents or others, don’t just point and cry at the other side because they’re being whatever they are being (lots of sh**ty things I’ll concede/agree).holmes435 wrote: ↑Thu Aug 01, 2019 12:28 pm I hear that a lot.

So if we see countries like Germany, Denmark, Sweden, the Netherlands, France or others doing something successfully and better than we do, we shouldn't even attempt it because we're bigger. Or we shouldn't try because they have unrelated issues in-country that aren't as good as the US.
We used to roll up our sleeves and get to work when we saw a good idea. Now we're so divided we won't give an idea a second glance if it doesn't come from our group.
And as far as healthcare goes, I'm not hearing much in the way of any plans or solutions from the right side of the aisle. Just complaints.
There’s a very legitimate argument to devise something unique to our country, ideally with as much participation as possible but at least a plausible supermajority or some kind (ie not 50.1%) rather than adopt someone else’s who’s been deemed successful that isn’t just bad boy tea party/trump/flyover/maga whatever you want cohort opposition to adopting someone else plan for ourselves.
