Save it..

What Jeshu said.

There's no way it will cost more. THAT is the myth..

If you were correct we, would have the least expensive health care in the world. But we don't. We have the most expensive. That's a verifiable fact. It happens because they have to make a profit that gets paid to stockholders. In a public insurance system, they just have to stay in the black. They don't have to send money to stockholders. They can use the money they bring in on services, not profits paid to stockholders who don't do the work.

I can dismiss your ideas out of hand based on just a hand full of criteria.. It's completely fair and I am correct.

You've dismissed the Young Turks ideas without even viewing the videos. There's no way you could have fairly weighed the case they made without even watching.

You don't have to agree with me.. It's not a requirement.

However, be advised that I have opinions too and I don't hesitate to express them..

I'm 100 percent okay with that.

Lowes is "Privatized" I get excellent service there..

So's Tractor Supply.. I get good service there..

I agree with you that Lowes is great. I shop their too. However, I don't want them in charge of our fire departments. A fire department has to be able to respond to a fire at anyone's home, regardless of whether the owner has any money to pay for the service. For services that must be available to everyone, it's better to let the government handle it. We don't need to provide everyone with riding lawn mowers, power drills, dish washers, etc. The private sector works great for those things.
