>> I noticed that the Republican Party is more willing to LET people, if not make people, suffer.

You owe it to yourself to read and understand "What is seen and what is not seen" by Frederick Bastiat.

>> Not one single liberal voted against that.

Where I live JW Fulbright was considered a liberal and he voted against it. But you do have have to qualify it either way because PLENTY of Democrats voted against it. It certainly is not a justification for being a yellow dog.

>> I'll give you another example when Obamacare was enacted, they had a Medicaid program that allowed states to get free medical care for their poorest people for several years with no cost to the state and then it just went to a 90/10 ratio. All of the Democratic governors took it, and most of the Republican governors refused to take it for the simple reason that they wanted to hurt Obama.

"No cost to the state???" Who the hell do you think is paying for it? This shit isn't free. And even though it isn't discussed much it is the MOST IMPORTANT REASON for the failure of Obamacare. There is no money. The damned law has, in the period of a few years, become fiscally untenable. In addition to the collapse of the exchanges.

This is just ignorance. Please, if you are going to provide examples make them actual examples.

>> And the only reason we don't have single payer like all other western democracies is the Republicans.

We do have single payer. It is Medicare. And it is TRILLIONS in debt and we cannot possible afford to pay for it for another 30 years. And YOU HAVE NO IDEA IT IS EVEN A PROBLEM. La la land.
