Reply #35: I understand that [View All]

I immigrated to Canada from the US, and I fought for a single payer health care plan as a Democrat when clinton was pushing his subsidy of Insurance companies disguised as a health care plan. But, the costs of actually getting such a program started would be huge in the US - I'm not so much talking about year over year spending as the actual funds to get it started, and with people in the US generally anti-tax, and with the massive debt load the US is carrying (a debt that is vastly underestimated at the moment) and with the Baby boomers all about to retire (which will send the cost of health care through the roof - I don't see how the US will afford it, nor how it is politically possible.

I came to the realization long ago that the US government does not, never has, and never will share my views on the world - and I left.
