I can't believe that Sanders and his surrogates and his supporters are politicizing this... George II Mar 2020 #43
Well, I don't think he's suggesting that we could snap fingers, AtheistCrusader Mar 2020 #44
So, since you brought up H1N1 elsewhere here (that was 11 years ago), what has he DONE.... George II Mar 2020 #47
I don't think he's been particularly effective on this point. AtheistCrusader Mar 2020 #53
Let's see, in Washington since 1991 and "he's had recent success just building support".... George II Mar 2020 #55

Awesome. So that means you CAN address this. AtheistCrusader Mar 2020 #50
Italy..think Italy with universal health care. Imagine M4a with dotard in charge..no thank you! Thekaspervote Mar 2020 #58
Actually, polling shows that people want the option of private insurance. ehrnst Apr 2020 #94

Would we have had more tests/hospital beds/ventilators/masks/gloves, and trained medical personnel? Freethinker65 Mar 2020 #4
There are serious pain points coming with this, that Italy isn't going to experience. AtheistCrusader Mar 2020 #13
Ok. So we agree the "quality care" is misleading? Survivors not going bankrupt is another issue. Freethinker65 Mar 2020 #23
I think there are assumptions made about quality of care for 'socialized' medicine that AtheistCrusader Mar 2020 #31
How would it provide more PPE, more ventilators, more tests, more hospital beds? frazzled Mar 2020 #7
That is... the point? Right? AtheistCrusader Mar 2020 #14

No it can't, it doesn't exist. Where does he get those numbers..... George II Mar 2020 #39
This is at least the 10th thread about this. Same arguments, nothing solved Thekaspervote Mar 2020 #59
Even Sanders doesn't put forward any answers, all he does is criticize and say "we have to _______" George II Mar 2020 #66
