Nonsense. That is what elections and revolutions are for.
Elections typically don't change the functions the government performs, or they might add or or two, or once in a great while take away one, but most of the functions continue to go on.
Revolutions might, but even then there is no guarantee, and revolutions are (fortunately) rare, as well as usually violent.
The US has the most expensive health care in the world yet millions are not covered
Not having insurance is not the same as not having health care. About 90% of the uninsured, either make enough money to afford insurance, or are eligible for current government programs and just haven't signed up. Even the remaining 10% or so have access to health care.
Most expensive is true, but that doesn't say anything about "single payer". Its hardly like single payer is the only difference in our medical care, and our medical care, and medical insurance systems are not the only relevant difference between the US and other countries.
There are two options: reform and do nothing. We have tried the do nothing approach
No we haven't tried the do nothing approach. The government has been heavily involved in medical care in the US for a long time. And it isn't even "make no changes", because changes have been made over time.
More importantly "reform" doesn't indicate or require "go to single payer".
and, if you go to war, you bring back the draft.
Which except for in extreme situations would be a very foolish, and unjust idea.
don't support the party that starts wars for personal profit.
Pretty easy because no party, at least no party of any size, in the US does.
If you don't like fairness and the sharing of burdens then
Nothing fair about forcing some people in to the military. Involuntary servitude is neither "fairness" nor "sharing". Its taking, and its unfair, and unjust. |
