If one thing is clear, it seems we are hurtling towards another Republican win because Dems have no platform other than buying votes with handouts.
Voters are done with Trumpism, but he will be gone soon enough. Hard to imagine someone like Rubio hosting UFC at the White House, and that’s a good thing.

Buying votes with handouts? Sure you mean corporate welfare, including tax subsidies to fossil fuel companies making billions? Right pal?

Not to mention bailouts of those "great, patriotic farmers" who were hurt by Trump's own tariffs.

Right? It's payouts for me but not for thee. Since when does providing health care for those who are employed but not receiving that benefit a handout? It's what countries do to keep people in the work force.

+1 it’s Republicans who are using our tax dollars to pay our their supporters like Trump’s 1.8bn fund to compensate domestic terrorists from the January 6 riots

That stuff all sucks too.
But whatever Dem comes along had better focus on economic issues and have an understanding of macroeconomics. And not be Biden 2.0 on immigration.

Problem is no one has faith in our government ever delivering Single Payer that doesn’t suck or eat up 30% of our GDP.
Until then, there needs to be some sort of consumer driven part of it.
As it is right now, all plans are basically forced to be yachts, and we cannot afford as a country for everyone to have a yacht.
Give everyone a dinghy first, no questions asked, no work requirements. Bigger better boats for those with true disabilities, no questions asked.

But for everything else, for example extremely expensive cancer treatments that marginally prolong life, let that be up to consumers and the markets. No more tax breaks or subsidies that inflate prices.
No more employer provided insurance.

It’s easy to ask for inifinite treatments if other people are paying for it. But what if it was our own children who would have to pay for it? What choices might we make then?

You're joking right? Our tax dollars pay for any number of EXPENSIVE things -pointless war in Iran, anyone?- that don't benefit anyone, that eat up our budget, etc. Everyone should have free healthcare - period. For whatever. THe one concession I'd make -and it is in other countries with socialized medicine like Italy (was just there talking to people about it) is there can be a role for private insurers in some situations that are costly- that sort of thing.

Also, you're dealing with people's lives here. It is not a commodity. We need to stop treating as such. And while not an issue for me personally, some people's morality/religion promote or dictate or encourage prolonging life. My Catholic grandparents wanted every, single thing done to prolong life. You're going to have exceptions under the law to accommodate that and that will open a huge chasm. So you won't be able to eliminate the things you identify.

The former vice president allegedly shifted into an $8.15 million pad in Malibu while planning another White House run. A new source claimed the move signaled campaign preparation and private strain and also tied the tension to her 2024 election loss. Moreover, they cited Emhoff’s campaign pressure and his reported wish for a quieter life.

Wow.

This whole thread is gross.

Someone who is repeatedly sidelined and belittled to his face by his boss and he just sits there and takes it? Hard to imagine someone like that ever becoming president.

Did it bother you that Hillary Clinton ran for the office of President despite President Bill Clinton's treatment of her?

“Free” healthcare that covers everything at any cost results in pretty much infinite demand and infinite cost. We already have healthcare costs dragging us down collectively and that’s with some people not even being able to access care. At some point, in order for everyone to have access to basic care, choices have to be made.
I for one do not want any kind of life, whatever it takes, at any cost. That would be extremely selfish.

Cancer treatment for a 30yo with children? Maybe. Cancer treatment for someone over 60 or 70? Absolutely not. I’m in the latter category. It would be selfish to take resources from young people for older people.
