Title: Majority of Americans support universal healthcare

A majority of Americans are in favor of a federally funded healthcare system that provides insurance to all Americans, according to a new Gallup poll.

Some 58 percent of respondents support replacing ObamaCare with a universal healthcare system, while 37 percent oppose that plan.

A majority — 51 percent — also supports simply repealing the Affordable Care Act, while 45 percent oppose the idea. Americans were divided over the idea of leaving ObamaCare as is: 49 percent oppose the idea, and 48 percent support it.

The three scenarios were meant to correspond to the proposals of the three presidential candidates.

Democratic presidential candidate Bernie Sanders is in support of a single-payer, federally administered plan. Presumptive GOP nominee Donald Trump has called for the repeal of the Affordable Care Act, and Democratic front-runner Hillary Clinton has said the law will stay in place.

The poll was conducted from May 6 to 8 among 1,549 adults across the country. The margin of error is 3 percentage points.

Hell, Willie, this comes as no surprise.

Research shows that 45 percent of Americans pay no federal income tax.

So that takes care of the largest portion.

The next 12 percent are Bernie Sanders supporters.

While the remaining one percent are Paultards.

So, there is your 58 percent accounted for.

I don't think 58% of Americans know what universal healthcare is. However IMO they will change their mind if they have to pay for it.

We might as well give everything away for free and see how people like working for free! A new car for free no problem. Car manufacture can stop paying employee's. Medical for free no problem. Doctors and nurses don't mind working for free. Housing for free no problem. Construction guys can work for free. Food for free no problem. Farmers won't mind working for free. Fuel for free no problem. Oil workers and coal miners like working for free!

As my pappy said there is no such thing as free!!!

Gee, I wonder why?

"First, American educational attainment has dropped precipitously in comparison to other developed countries. While Americans over 55 are highly educated and literate compared to their Canadian and European counterparts, the same cannot be said for those in the 16- to 24-year-old age bracket, who rank near the bottom for all rich countries in educational attainment."

The more socialist the U.S. becomes the lower the education attainment. But that is to be expected as the Bread and Circuses mentality grows.

Data are all around, look at the shift in distribution of wealth over the last decades and health care in other developed countries. Then raw data are not enough, you need to analyze and interpret them correctly.

On the other hand market based health care system has some advantages. For example it can help spread of a new plague, when poor losers working in services will not be able to get to a doctor or even stay home when sick. Germs will prosper, less successful humans (aka Job Snatchers) will be culled and the magnificent Job Creators saved in isolated mansions will learn how to till the soil.

You are right, but it an entirely wrong concept to say that that which is paid by the taxpayer is free. It has been paid for by someone, and those providing the service have been paid, perhaps not as much as they could extract if they were free to charge whatever they want to for the service, but payment has been made.

Let me ask you, would you refuse service if it was paid for by a benefactor, by an employer, why then would you refuse service paid for by a government on your behalf? Is it becuase you think that you will pay more in taxes than the value you extract, 18 Trillion dollars in debt gives the lie to this argument

WTF? Are you really that ignorant? Do you understand the concept of age groups? Especially the difference between age 55+ and 16-24? GI Bill come into play here for the 16-24 group? FYI very few of the great unwashed masses have been eligible for college benefits under the GI Bill for over 30 years now. And for those in the 16-24 age group that did use you brain for once and realize that if a kid graduated from HS at 18 and then enlisted and just serves for 4 years he would be over 22 years old. These kids would represent a very small proportion of those in the under performing 16-24 year old range.

Thirty years ago someone of age 55 today would have been 24 years old. Had that person enlisted for just one four year term and used the GI Bill he would have had 2 years of college. So just about everyone in the 55+ age group that may have used the GI Bill are for the most part "highly educated and literate compared to their Canadian and European counterparts".

Now if you said it was the leftist social progressive policies over the past 30+ years of dumbing down the U.S. K-12 education system, forcing colleges to accept students that would not have been qualified 30 years ago and de facto lowering the quality of students applying to AND graduating from college, then you have a point. But he GI Bill has nothing to do with that as very few in the 16-24 age group would be eligible for GI benefits.

Boris, you prove once again that you are mindless moron leftist shill that is incapable of an original thought or critical thinking. Really sad.

Trump supports it too.

Donald Trump stands by universal health care despite attacks

Donald Trump is remaining firm on a sticking point for many Republican voters — government-funded health care for all.

One of his top rivals for the Republican presidential nomination, Texas Senator Ted Cruz, has hit Trump hard on this issue in recent weeks. Cruz’s campaign has dubbed Trump’s plan “Trumpcare” and likened it to “Hillarycare” and “Obamacare.” Last week, a super PAC supporting Cruz ran an attack ad on the subject in Iowa.

But Trump isn’t backing down.

article continues after advertisement

“We do need health care for all people,” Trump said at a rally here this week. “What are we gonna do, let people die in the street?”

Trump has said he doesn’t support Obamacare but does believe the government should pay for health insurance for all. “I wanna get rid of Obamacare. I want to get you something good,” he said at the rally. He didn’t offer specifics.

Paultards.

Contrast Trump's position with Dr. Ron Paul's :

Health Care

The current system is most definitely broken, and it must eventually be abolished if we want to regain both our health and our freedom.

But Obamacare is the worst possible answer. All it does is perpetuate a flawed system by forcing everyone to become a client of insurance companies, even those who don’t want to or need to participate.

Why should anyone be forced to subsidize the medical care of others? Very few individuals would personally assault their neighbors at gunpoint and steal thousands of dollars to pay for their own medical needs. How could any freedom loving person agree to delegate such criminal acts to the government by supporting a compulsory health insurance system?

There is only one solution that will lead to true health and true freedom: making health care more affordable. Ron Paul believes that only true free market competition will put pressure on the providers and force them to lower their costs to remain in business. Additionally, Ron Paul wants to change the tax code to allow individual Americans to fully deduct all health care costs from their taxes.

“Truth is treason in the empire of lies.” - Ron Paul

Americans who have no experience with, or knowledge of, tyranny believe that only terrorists will experience the unchecked power of the state. They will believe this until it happens to them, or their children, or their friends.

I judge a persons worth by how much I have to constantly help them... or if I have to help them due to intentional, reckless and willingness to make poor decisions... like drug use, breaking laws (whether an asshole like you agrees with the law or not), obtaining debt they can't pay off or doesn't work hard enough to be self sufficient.

Government is a filter. When you send money to it 50% is taken right off the top and put in the pockets of fat cats. As a Christian how can you justify this?

If I do not like what they offer I can always go to the next company. With government if I do not like what they offer im pretty much screwed.

Government should protect us from outsiders, provide a system to seek justice with laws that are blind but equal to all citizens. Then the government should get out of the way to let people prosper.

Never forget government is the biggest mafia of all mafia's. Keep their power concise and few.

Did GI Bill "lower the education attainment?

Of course not. The overwhelming beneficiaries of the GI Bill were vets from WWII, Korea and Viet Nam. The draft in the U.S. ended in the mid-1970s, that's 40 years ago. The reference I posted states:

"While Americans over 55 are highly educated and literate compared to their Canadian and European counterparts...................

Someone 55 years old today would have been 15 years old 40 years ago and not a beneficiary of the GI Bill. Those 65+ today would have been 25+ years old 40 years ago and could have been a beneficiary of the GI Bill. In any event they are in the 55+ age group. OTOH there are relatively few people in the 16-24 age group that are beneficiaries of the GI Bill.

The Bill provides financial assistance for higher education not provision for lowering the admission standards of colleges and/or lowering the quality of a public high school education. Leftist progressives are responsible for both.

But if I missed your point please explain what it is.

look at the shift in distribution of wealth over the last decades

The mere fact that wealth has shifted is insufficient to establish your claim.

you need to analyze and interpret them

The claim is YOURS so that's what YOU need to do. All I need to do is note that you have yet to provide evidence for your claim.

Yes, it is extremely amusing for me to consider Hillary and Ron are both comfortable with same-sex marriage and both agree that same-sex partners should receive benefits

Same-sex marriage

Asked his opinion on same-sex marriage in October 2011, Paul expressed his support for marriage privatization by replying, "Biblically and historically, the government was very uninvolved in marriage. I like that. I don't know why we should register our marriage to the federal government. I think it's a sacrament." In the same interview, when asked whether he would vote for or against a state constitutional amendment like California's Proposition 8, he said, 'Well, I believe marriage is between one man and one woman.

LGBT rights

On the specific issue of LGBT rights, Paul stated that, “You have to remember, rights don't come in groups we shouldn't have 'gay rights'; rights come as individuals, and we wouldn't have this major debate going on. It would be behavior that would count, not what person belongs to what group.”

A majority of Americans are in favor of a federally funded healthcare system that provides insurance to all Americans, according to a new Gallup poll.

Some 58 percent of respondents support replacing ObamaCare with a universal healthcare system, while 37 percent oppose that plan.

A majority of people in the United States are adversely affected by the current health care regulations, and see Universal Healthcare as a way out of such crushing price jumps.

Little do they know (those uninformed and unwashed masses) that the past four decades (or more) of health care reform lay may well be the reason for the price increases and lack of available care.

The citizens are not ready for that which the powerful are ready to unleash upon them.

Wikipedia, huh?

That’s the place where ANYONE can EDIT ALL entries, where they can easily undermine facts through malice or ignorance … uh, is that correct?

You will not believe Snopes, but you accept Wikipedia as the gospel, right?

You fucking weasel - you wouldn't know a fact if it bit you on the ass.

Ron Paul bases his positions on gay marriage on the Constitution. In 2004, Ron Paul spoke in support of the Defense of Marriage Act, passed in 1996. This act allows a state to decline to recognize gay marriage or same-sex marriages performed in other states or countries, although a state will usually recognize legal marriages performed outside of its own jurisdiction.

The Defense of Marriage Act also prohibits the U.S. government from recognizing same-sex marriages, even if a state recognizes the marriage. Paul co-sponsored the Marriage Protection Act, which would have barred federal judges from hearing cases pertaining to the constitutionality of the Defense of Marriage Act.

In 2004 and 2006, Paul voted against amending the US Constitution to define marriage as between one man and one woman. though he does not support allowing gay and lesbian couples to wed. He saw the amendment as a usurpation of the states’ authority.

“Mr. Speaker, while I oppose federal efforts to redefine marriage as something other than a union between one man and one woman, I do not believe a constitutional amendment is either a necessary or proper way to defend marriage,” he said in 2006.

Paul said he supports the Defense of Marriage Act (DOMA), a law that bars federal recognition of same-sex marriages and allows the states to do the same.

“If I were in Congress in 1996, I would have voted for the Defense of Marriage Act, which used Congress’ constitutional authority to define what official state documents other states have to recognize under the Full Faith and Credit Clause, to ensure that no state would be forced to recognize a same-sex marriage license issued in another state,” he said in 2006.

Paul’s statement on the amendment and DOMA was placed in the Congressional Record in 2006 and the same statement had been placed there in 2004.

Paul’s opposition to queer community goals dates to at least 1980, when he was among a group of Washington legislators introducing anti-gay legislation. Paul’s bill, the Family Protection Act, barred the federal government from funding “any organization which presents male or female homosexuality as an acceptable alternative life style or which suggests that it can be an acceptable life style.”

*******

Meanwhile - Trump tells Catlin Jenner (and presumably ALL transgenders) that they are free to use ANY bathroom they like in any of his buildings.

And - THAT is the candidate that YOU support.

Nope!

While you may try to say that Ron Paul opposes same-sex marriage, however the truth is much more complex and somewhat confusing.

His view on same-sex marriage is a states rights issue and he believes homosexuals should be allowed to marry in states that legalize the practice. In fact, he says: “in a free society…all voluntary and consensual agreements would be recognized. There should essentially be no limits to the voluntary definition of marriage.”

Now try to say that ain’t so …

Hypocrites, both you and he.

Ron Paul spoke in support of the Defense of Marriage Act ...

Yea he did.

The Defense of Marriage Act (DOMA) (Pub.L. 104–199, 110 Stat. 2419, enacted September 21, 1996, 1 U.S.C. § 7 and 28 U.S.C. § 1738C) is a United States federal law that, prior to being ruled unconstitutional, defined marriage for federal purposes as the union of one man and one woman, and allowed states to refuse to recognize same-sex marriages granted under the laws of other states.

Ron Paul was once again speaking out of both sides of his ass. He is alleged to be a BIG proponent of states rights ... yet he denied states the right of refusal.

Typical Paultard ... being two-faced.

If Ron Paul defended the Defense of Marriage Act, as he did … then why did he oppose the Federal Marriage Amendment?

The Federal Marriage Amendment (FMA) (also referred to by proponents as the Marriage Protection Amendment) is a proposed amendment to the United States Constitution which would define marriage in the United States as a union of one man and one woman. The FMA would also prevent judicial extension of marriage rights to same-sex or other unmarried heterosexual couples.

He doesn’t define marriage as the union of one man and one woman and he is in favor of marriage rights to same-sex couples?

Obviously not.

Ergo, he is for same-sex marriage.

That is the only logical deduction that can come form his action.

Action always speaks louder than words … Est-ce bien exact?

Does Ron Paul want to legalize ALL drugs including cocaine and heroin … is that a good or a bad thing?

I've already posted several times why I believe that prohibtion of drugs is the wrong way to deal with the issue.

For one thing, the drug war has claimed thousands of innocent victims including those who have never even used any drugs.

The drug war has been an excuse to ramp up the police state, (which you are so enamored with) providing cities and towns across the country with armored vehicles and weaponry that is more suitable for a battlefield.

Prohibition does not reduce the use or abuse of drugs. Over a trillion dollars has been spent on your glorious war on drugs, and it has been proven to be an epic failure. The very definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results.

History has shown that prohibition (of any kind) reduces neither use nor abuse.In 1925, H. L. Mencken wrote an impassioned plea:

Prohibition has not only failed in its promises but actually created additional serious and disturbing social problems throughout society.

There is not less drunkenness in the Republic but more.

There is not less crime, but more. ... The cost of government is not smaller, but vastly greater. Respect for law has not increased, but diminished."

Those words could very well have been written today, since the parallells between prohibition of alcohol and the current prohibitions on drugs are undeniable.

Perhaps the best reason is that the governemnt does not own you, does not own your body.

People who wish to consume drugs them have the same liberty to make their own decisions and determine their own well-being as those who consume alcohol, or anything else.

The United States is supposedly a free country. Decisions that affect a person should be left up to the individual, not government.

I suggest you call him and ask.

You are still trying to deflect the discussion from this:

Donald Trump stands by universal health care despite attacks

Donald Trump is remaining firm on a sticking point for many Republican voters — government-funded health care for all.

Trump has said he doesn’t support Obamacare but does believe the government should pay for health insurance for all.

I don't think 58% of Americans know what universal healthcare is. However IMO they will change their mind if they have to pay for it.

People reliant on VA care, and those over 65 with Medicare have some idea of what U.S. government administered health care is like. The Military Health Care system is protected by the Feres Doctrine wherein SCOTUS held the military member could not sue for malpractice, and if the malpractice kills him, his family cannot sue on his behalf.

Some governments run a universal health care system that works. The U.S. government is so corrupt that I just do not see it working.

Private health insurance does not work as the medical and insurance industries drive up the price in their fight for profit.

When you send money to it 50% is taken right off the top and put in the pockets of fat cats. As a Christian how can you justify this?

As a christian I don't have to justify this because this is not a scriptural system. God never asked you to give more than 10% but implicit in that 10% is the provision of care
