“Socialized anything has never and will never work. “
Another lie. Some counterexamples:
The development of the M1 rifle. (US)
The development of the atomic bomb. (US)
The electric utilities in France. (Their nuclear power plants are much more efficient than those in the US and French consumers have historically paid a lot less for electricity than we pay Con Ed.)
The bullet trains in France.
There are many others.
“The claim that poor people could not get healthcare was bull! All they had to do was walk into ANY hospital and they would be treated.”
This is also a lie. If you walk into any hospital that has an emergency department (some don’t) you get emergency care, for which you will get a large bill. But you are only guaranteed to get emergency care, which means that you get stabilized to the point that they don’t think you will die THAT DAY. You get no help with the chronic conditions that are the major causes of death in America.
“Do you really think that Medicare has 1/5th the amount of administrative overhead that the health insurers have?”
Yes. It is around 2%. The best private insurer is about 10%, and one of the reasons the health insurance industry was so strongly opposed to Obamacare was that it limits administrative overhead to 15%.
