The truth behind American capitalism, is that labor unions have been around since the Roosevelt's and the debate about healthcare isn't something new coming out of Bernie Sanders..
It's infact over 60 years old now.
:)

So here's the real truth about American capitalism..
The attitude of the south really is this..

If they have to pay taxes for black peoples healthcare, in order to coequally receive their own in the same system...
Then they don't want to pay taxes for anybody's healthcare, including that of other white people...

So capitalism is in fact more Racism, disguised.

Not its not.. it's the social system that everybody including your own white people in reality, live under because of dickheads like you, that im so ****ing sick of, that I fixed one with a gun and im getting ready to fix more.

Everything that you rethuglicans say is a cover up for racist intentions.

That (bolded above) certainly explains why no blue (or northern) states have UHC systems. ;)

Still the dumbest argument the “anti-racists” try to make.

I beg to differ .

It gets people foolishly involved and deflects away from what should be the blindingly obvious __ capitalism is using money to enslave the masses for disposal by the most powerful and wealthy .

Never has ever been anything else .

You couldn’t be further from the truth. The combination of democracy and free market capitalism has done more to liberate individuals across the world than any other inventions in human history. Communism is the antithesis of both, and where it’s been tried at scale it’s led to nothing but human misery.

Capitalism has nothing to do with welfare statism, and the only fair system regarding healthcare or anything else is you pay for your own shit and keep your hands out of other people's pockets.

that is NOT the attitude of the south. nor is it even a reason more people don;t want UHC.

the reason more people don;t want UHC is because they are afraid the government will screw it up and make it a crap system where it takes too long to get treatment and death panels.

I am on the fence about UHC myself. think we SHOULD have coverage not tied to our work to make it easier to be mobile with our careers, and to try to negotiate down prices for medical care we have here which are sky high.

on the other hand, I don't want hospitals run like discount tire shops either... and unfortunately, even if I were persuaded, I wont support the rest of the bonkers democrat platform just for UHC.

if you EVER want UHC, you are going to have to help move the democrat party to be more moderate in their beliefs.

Really?

Do they really feel that way in the south?

What about medicare? Black people are covered under that.

So whether they want to or not, they are paying taxes for black people to have health care.

Has anyone ever pointed that out to them?

Hawaii had UHC before Obamacare took over.

California is now in the process of setting up UHC.

Washington state has a Public Option on their exchange.

Nope, but it was being discussed.

OK, yet another state level UHC discussion is under way.

Washington state has a Public Option on their exchange.

OK, so I was correct that no state has UHC.

I don't know if its all "racism", but you do have a legit point.

Americans have been so indoctrinated with the "ME! ME! ME!": mentality that they are so afraid that someone else might get something better than what they have, that they go out of their way to make sure that nobody gets anything at all.

Thats one big way that the status quo is maintained.

Medicaid expansion is the more obvious tell.

Medicaid isn't the same thing as medicare.

Everyone who is age 65 and older qualifies for medicare.

Yes, the far right radical red states didn't expand medicaid.

Everyone pays for medicare and medicaid.

So the people in the far right radical red states do pay for black people to have health care.

Whether they like it or not.

I'm a single payer person and believe that insurance companies should not be able to dictate what care a person can receive.

That decision belongs to the patient and their doctor. Not some insurance company that only wants to pay as little as possible no matter if it hurts the patient or not.

That's right, it's not. Old people skew whiter than the rest of the population, and states don't have any discretion (or role) in Medicare's operation. That's why if you wanted a clearer test of whether certain states are wary of programs perceived to benefit minorities (in addition to whites!), Medicaid would be a more interesting case to look at, specifically the Medicaid expansion. And most of the old Confederacy doesn't look so hot on that score.
