Yep, we flaunt our exceptionalism and yet our healthcare system is a laughing stock of the developed world.

American exceptionalism has nothing to with healthcare or any other program you feel has been a failure.

It is about America's uniqueness. It's founding., the representative form of government, the three branches of government intended to act as a system of checks and balances, the concept of liberty, equality, laissez-faire economics, individual responsibility.

Then there's the people that make it exceptional. The freedom and spirit of entrepreneurship.

Did you ever hear of Alexis de Tocqueville?

In 1831, a French political scientist during his travels in the US was the first to describe America as exceptional.

The position of the Americans is therefore quite exceptional, and it may be believed that no democratic people will ever be placed in a similar one.

US. 22A Discuss Alexis de Tocqueville's five values crucial to America's success as a constitutional republic: liberty, egalitarianism, individualism, populism, and laissez-faire. US. 22B Describe how the American values identified by Alexis de Tocqueville are different and unique from those of other nations.

Too add a little more exceptionalism ...American people are the most charitable people in the world. We also are the first to respond and provide the most aid to any nation experiencing a national disaster.

You just provided more proof that schools do not teach American exceptionalism, only how rotten it is.

Is that why leaders of other countries fly into Cleveland for their heart ailments?

But that's only to people who would rather have a used Yugo for free than a Cadillac that you have to pay for. Oil Sheiks aren't flying to Havana for surgery. American doctors aren't lining up to get jobs at Bombay General.

It's a little like Consumer Reports. They will list the members Mark or Char-Broil or whatever Grill above a weber. We know the Weber grill is the best in the world and will last 40 years and the Char-Broil will rust out in two or three. But see our rates them higher because the Weber cost five times as much.

The leading issue that causees Americans to file for bankruptcy is medical bills. 

A large number of Americans need to chose between overpriced, life saving meds and food.

 

If you don't that isn't an issue I don't know what to say

 

Having great specialty medicine does nothing for standard care. 

 

 

And this isn't some fringe idea for failing communist nations. Some form of universal healthcare is pretty standard across most developed nations.

First of all there is no reason to go bankrupt because of medical bills. Not after Obammy Care. Everybody has access to the finest Medical Care out there and yes it does cost you some money. If you're a broke ass deadbeat you get it a lot cheaper than somebody that works for a living. And you should pay something it's worth a lot. Whether you care or not. Also, If you are destitute or make less than 16 or 17 k you get Medicaid. But everybody should have to pay something for their care and that's what Obamacare provides. Deadbeats even deadbeats with some money would rather spend their money on cigarettes or beer or a nicer car restaurants or lottery tickets for cable TV or cell phones or whatever the hell they spend their dough on than they would something that actually matters. But I understand if you're young and reasonably healthy who gives a flying f***? People like you probably think the food at the soup kitchen at the Salvation Army is better then a five-star restaurant because it's free.

Yes people like you. Who in hell do you think I'm talking to? And yes Deadbeats. Healthcare is an important and valuable commodity but you f****** yes you f****** would rather spend your money on something less valuable and less important. Same as just not buying car insurance. Have an accident? Tough s*** injured people. Come on Judge I spent the money that I would have spent on car insurance at the nightclub.

Or wherever.

And just for the record I don't like to pay for house insurance or property or income  or sales tax or the gas bill or the electric cable or phone bills.  Tough shit.

I didn’t expect you to care. After all, they don’t like Trump.
Anyone that is a Republican that doesn’t like him must be crazy, stupid, ignorant or a commie, or a nazi.

Why would I care? Let's recap. If I'm tired of the neocon approach to sending thousands of troops the third world shitholes for no return why would I like Liz Cheney? Except for her Trump hatred why would people who would normally vote Democrat send her money since all her other stated policies seem to be the very antithesis of the Liberals in the Democratic Party? And I'm being serious.

Except that it's part of the libretto of the squad here why should hatred of trump be the number one issue? Republican or Democrat?

Is Redstate aspiring to be the right wing National Enquirer now? That’s fantastic, and probably not a bad move for them.

Let us not be coy. Red state is what it is, always has been. The problem is when the major news networks newspapers and internet  monopolies follow suit. 😅

I mean think about it we have otherwise rational human beings on this board that appear to think that gender is a state of mind not a biological reality.

It’s almost like we’re being manipulated into thinking “the other side” is a bunch of weirdos that are so different from us that it’s like they’re not even real people.
