I would agree with socialized healthcare. With an option to buy your own if you wish. I dont want a government bureaucrat deciding on my healthcare. Not all out socialist country. My father came from socialism communism. We had workers in the seventies who escaped Russia for a better life. It destroys the will of the people. Your rights are gone. Everyone thinks it will guarantee housing food education and opportunity. All have to work for the greater good. You are stuck in one place. No opportunity to rise up. People are escaping if they can from socialism. You want that here? Freedom, rights to speech. If it is so good why are people not moving to socialist countries? I am not saying there is not some merits to some change. It is that the ideology doesn’t work. When the wealth runs out that’s when the problem starts.
I basically agree with you. Socialism for better or worse has been a dirty word here in America since 1776 and will never work/be sold.
However an exception is health care. We have a de facto criminal health care system in this country where at any one time up to 50 million people are not covered or under covered. All our peer countries have figured it out with universal, quality, affordable health care at half the price (net) with better results. The free enterprise system has failed miserably in this area.
Also I wish the headline would not say the sexist/narrowed minded blurb the first women to win, but a unifying the first PERSON to make a different and solve problems.
Divisive Identity obsession killed Hillary and help serve up the demagogue Trump to America on a silver platter.
