That might sound like a horrible thing to say, but I really don’t give a shit.

Hi. Its welfare, not full on socialism. The problem you run into in America is who is it for and who is going to pay for it. Do you force people to pay tax for it or do people opt in? What to do with those that want no part of it? It is so against american culture as it can be so it is almost impossible to implement. 50%+ of the country is instantly against it. Maybe other options like subsidized insurance is an option?

Something that despite being a half-measure still holds a net positive approval rating and, according to a Fox News poll of all things, holds a higher approval rating than Trump’s tax cuts.

If having access to health care and not having to choose between lifelong debt and dying is a problem with American culture, then American culture is really shitty.

Don’t forget that public healthcare is run by the governemnt.  
And you probably know how government companies fare against private ones.  
(pro-tip: government run stuff is ALWAYS overpriced, incompetent and inefficient as hell)
 
Not to mention that public healthcare is probably the biggest black hole when it comes to money.  
Seriously, it NEVER STOPS! Always more and more money you have to put into it and there is always “something” that will make your political opponents scream “why is public healthcare so underfunded under your rule!”.  
Like if, for example, estimations says it would cost 50 billions to give americans heathcare, then the TRUE COST wuld be at least 100+ billions.  
I am not even fucking joking here.  
The only people who masturbate about public healthcare are poor people and americans.

Yeah, I am aware of it. But it did not work entirely out for some reason? For many it got more expensive than insurance or medicaid/care if I am not mistaken?
 
 
@Kiryu-Chan  
Its different yes. But remember that you run into many of the same restricions in a welfare system. There are cost limits and and limited options. An advantage of the US system is that if you can pay they will continue to treat you. A disadvantage is when you are out of money treatment stops.

We already have government run healthcare in the form of medicare. It’s one of the highest approved government programs in the country, largely because how simple and all encompassing it is makes it efficient. Not like private healthcare where you run a labyrinth in trying to find out what it covers and doesn’t and how much it pays for each.
 
And yet estimates say that M4A would actually save the taxpayer between $2-5 trillion over 10 years. That’s how obscene the current industry already is.

I’m going to be singing “Thank You Very Much” from Scrooge when that happens.

Yet these vices of gov’t pale next to such in big business.

Everyone, shut up.
 
There’s been an explosion with a magnitude of 3.3 at Beirut, Lebanon. Roughly 4000 people are injured, with 78 confirmed dead. Nobody knows how or why it happened, and Lebanese officials haven’t declared it as an “attack” or an “accident” yet. Trump calls it a terrorist attack.

According to reports, the warehouse where the explosions happened contained a high amount of ammonium nitrate that was left unchecked, which may have been what caused it.
