[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The general alt-right response to why the Canadian healthcare system won't work for the US is that it can't be "scaled up" -- that when take something which can be funded, delivered, monitored and enforced on a small scale, it doesn't necessarily translate into something which can be done on a large scale.

Sometimes small issues at the small scale become insurmountable on a larger scale. For example, the issue of eminent domain is not usually an issue for building a fence or wall on your own property -- but it sure as hell is going to rear up if you are fencing off all of the southern border of the US, and exponentially so.[/quote]

Why does that make it insurmountable? Take the eminent domain cases to court along with the nature reserves and everyone else who has an issue with it. It may take years but so what? Let it play out. [/quote]

It's not insurmountable, it's just one (*of many*) costs that aren't being addressed. Make a realistic assessment of the scale-up costs, acknowledge how they come into play -- and not in, say, a private home's fence -- and then run it up the GAO flagpole.

But you won't. You just point to a private home fence and act like that's some kind of reasonable analogy.[/quote]
