The video about the Jazmine Barnes killing that The Young Turks quickly deleted after it was found that two black gang members did the shooting and not "terrorism carried out by an angry white man encouraged by Trump."

Trump is going to have an impossible time on healthcare. The Republican position is basically full retard.

This is an example of a level headed person trying to explain that to them:

It's a conservative site...conservative commentators -- lots of strong anti-communism. The reality is through their own stupid idea of private health insurance has been getting worse and worse. Even Warren Buffet and Bezos know that there needs to be a private insurance monopoly (like the Fed for insurance or something) or a government run program.

Health costs already take up like almost 9% of GDP and it is rapidly rising.


Health consumption expenditures per capita, U.S. dollars, PPP adjusted, 2017
United States
$10,224
Switzerland
$8,009
Germany
$5,728
Sweden
$5,511
Austria
$5,440
Netherlands
$5,386
Comparable Country Average
$5,280
France
$4,902
Canada
$4,826
Belgium
$4,774
Japan
$4,717
Australia
$4,543
United Kingdom
$4,246
The US value was obtained from the 2017 National Health Expenditure data

Edit: Key part here is the private spending though.

While the U.S. has much higher total spending as a share of its economy, its public expenditures alone are in line with other countries. In 2016, the US spent about 8.5% of its GDP on health out of public funds –essentially equivalent to the average of the other comparable countries. However, private spending in the U.S. is much higher than any comparable country; 8.8% of GDP in the U.S., compared to 2.7% on average for other nations.

So in other words, we actually are paying that god damn 10K average in the US much more often than people in these other countries pay their 5k...they get theirs from the government or their employer or some combo.
