    Money will run out then you’re left with inflation

    It’s the only way socialism will work

    where is it you think the money runs out to, exactly? let's say you give a random person on the street 10 bucks. how is it that you think that 10 dollars will now cease to exist?

    We’re talking about the United States, no?

    I thought you were radical changes for social welfare?

    I’d love to play along, but I don’t understand the analogy.

    So...? you think their economy isn't also smaller? their market share? if anything the US has advantages they don't.

    I don't understand what you mean by money "running out." Money is not extinguished by being provided to someone. they spend it. that gets taxed. The economy doesn't stop just because sick people now have care.

    I was talking generally, not specific to healthcare. All I meant was that the tax revenue coffers will run dry because the spending won’t match what’s coming in.

    Those countries don’t have to pay for a global military presence.

    we aren't talking about charity or medicaid or obamacare we are talking about offering a FAR cheaper and COMPLETELY subsidized by the taxpayer version of insurance. 90% of americans would chose medicare over their current policy at the prices we are offering medicare for seniors.

    the cost would be unfathomable. hell just paying the cost for people currently on medicare is almost bankrupting the country. now we are going to 4 times that number and it will work?

    the last it did match was 20 years ago. taxes were cut and we have been running a deficit ever since. since then, taxes have continued to be cut. yet, the growth never makes up the difference. infrastructure is crumbling, services are at a minimum, and the answer is... do even less?

    makes perfect sense.

    you understand medicare for all is surely far more expensive than mandating a single payer where you are limiting what doctors make

    it's factually accurate.

    Do we HAVE to? Is it in the constitution?

    no it's not. a road isn't used by one person. so i guess you are getting more than you paid in for your internet bill because at&t spent $1 billion on infrastructure near where you live.

    I understand you operate with a preconceived dogmatic interpretation of how it would all work
