What Europeans think of American healthcare

[Hughinn]

This is exactly why I asked you if you wanted to rephrase.

At first you said you don't know why you should pay for others.

Then you rephrased it to you don't mind paying for others.



Obviously you can see that those two statements can be viewed as contradictory.
It's not an attack.
I'm just pointing out that I didn't believe that you actually believed your first statement.
Thus I asked you to rephrase.

Which is why I clarified it. Irregardless, I don't want to pay for someone else who won't help themselves. And I don't like being forced to.

But, in principle as far as healthcare, I think everyone agrees what we have needs some fixing.

I agree with you. It wasn't an attack.

In the same way...
Mooseman made a statement earlier where he said everything the Government does they fuck up.
I pointed out that that statement makes it seem like he believes the police and military are all fucked up.
It's not an attack.

It's just a call to be more careful with wording.
Blanket statements are dangerous.

It is a Republican theme to say the government fucks up everything.
Well if that truly the case then the Republicans would be all for Defunding the Police.
Because hell, smaller government is better and the police are fucked up.
Might as well make them smaller.

So I was simply pointing out that a common argument against universal healthcare is that the government fucks everything up.
But the government doesn't fuck everything up in my opinion.
