Cliffs:

Admin costs are 4x higher per capita due to all the unnecessary paper pushing jobs in the American healthcare and health insurance industry. The USA wastes over $600B/yr on this that could provide health care for all citizens instead.

but your typical maga sees that as a FEATURE and not a bug, in the same manner as they are likely to outbid people on ebay by an absurd amount just so they can be "winning." they would see the costliness of it as akin to "an expensive car has got to be better than an affordable one." that is their thought process.

our non-health-care system is "best" only in one very narrow criterion, that of heroic measures for bottomless pockets. a real health care system would spread out that benefit to all citizens. otherwise it is just a cultural spoils system. you made my point for me. cost does not necessarily equal value. magas can't see that.

Poor people give themselves away when they complain about the cost of things.

rich people [and their middle-class lackeys] give themselves away when they can't stop boasting about their financial acumen.

That doesn't mean they know what the "the best" is, not even remotely.

Rich people give themselves away to corporations nonstop from birth to death.

Sometimes poor people go outside.

If you assign authority to the knuckly jackass with the most cash, you get what you paid for.

Oh wait, you want to pay taxes to avoid learning Español? Es muy facil y lucrativo. Debes todos estudiar, porque no info no esta bien.

"The people who elect corrupt politicians, imposters, thieves and traitors are not victims, they are accomplices." [george orwell] IOW they themselves pattern themselves after and ARE themselves thieves and traitors corroding our republic from within.

I'm pretty sure women are lying for publicity or cash whenever they publicly endorse Trump. At least for their sake I seriously hope so.

"pro-life" should extend beyond the womb but for magas it never does unless it is kin. righties' version of that meme is very selfish IMHO.
