Redacted Mueller Report Out

[Draco Dracul]

Reading through it, it appears the only reason they didn't indict Jr. is the fact that it would require a novel argument on wherther oposittion research from a foriegn power counts as a campaign contribution. Basically not going forward because it's not a slam dunk, which is in keeping with Mueller's MO.

Do people really give a damn about healthcare?! Yeah, Sanders claims people do, and yes, there's still reform to do, but overall, most centrists, and we're the majority, tend to think Obamacare works well enough, just needs to be expanded, it did its job well. Healthcare isn't what I care about in politics, tbh. And it's frankly becoming irritating that that's all the far left seems to care about while turning a blind eye to the real issues of prejudice against women and minorities. Healthcare is not the only thing going on in this country.

You yourself here are talking about the subject of "what's on people's minds." Prejudice is hardly something that everybody has a common fixation on.

Also, America has the worst health market of all the developed nations.

The US has a health market? I thought you slapped Prozac and Morphine on everything and call it a day? *snarks*

Actually opium is our pharmaceutical epidemic.

It seems a major factor in how things run in the health industry is distributors. IIRC there's like 3 main distributors for US medicine that have influence on the market between hospitals, doctors, and pharmaceutical companies. I'd think at least one person here has heard of the $700 saline bag that have been charged in an uninsured hospital patient visit?

A lot of people made a big deal about Trump saying that it was the "end" of his presidency, and that he was "fucked", as if it signified an insinuation of affirmed illicit conduct. It didn't sound that way at all when I read the entire snippet.

Twenty. Dollar. Asprin.

Again, not denying there's work to do on healthcare, but the single-minded obsession these far-left purity drones have with "healthcare or nothing!" really irks me. Especially ironic given their cult leader was the one who helped sabotage it, then is now the one going around having to try and save it from Trump.

Healthcare is hardly the only thing that Sanders talks about. It's also consistent with everything he says about federal government in the US as it operates today.

It's not even exclusive to the left. Sanders went on Fox News and the crowd cheered for what he had to say.

Well, he's also very tone-deaf on issues related to minorities and women. Not surprising given the kind of man he is. I'd much prefer someone like Warren to lead the charge as part of the progressive movement. At least she's... frankly, smarter and a better person than him, imo.
