You know the KKK was a Democrat organization right?

This is demonstrably false. California has some of the highest teacher salaries yet routinely rates low on academic performance.

You forgot “more humble”.

Reminds me of that time Bill Maher and other liberals were calling for an economic collapse during Trump’s first term so that he’d take the flak for it and get the boot. Weird how nobody else remembers that right now…

Lol it’s so stupid to me that you think anyone who disagrees with you is “evil”. Good thing you’ve taken the opportunity to tell us though so now we can all hold you in super high esteem. You should be proud of how much virtue you have.

Seriously though, people like you advocate for giving out clean needles to drug users because it’s the “kind” thing to do. You don’t want to stigmatize them and you don’t think they’re capable of doing the hard work necessary to better their situation. Unfortunately all it does is enable their self destructive behavior. Junkies are made, drug paraphernalia is used as currency on the street, communities suffer. That isn’t compassion, it’s horrifying. People like me advocate for personal responsibility, some discomfort in the short term, and hard work, not because we’re evil, but because we think they’re capable of more. We know that discomfort and responsibility are the path to bettering oneself. We don’t want them to have to do it on their own, but we do want a level of commitment and some skin in the game. Literally nothing about that is evil. Evil is letting people waste away because you would rather virtue signal and allow them to make the same bad decisions that got them to that point in the first place. Evil is thinking them incapable of change. Evil is enabling their destructive behavior. You are the problem. You are the evil in society, and the sick part is you think you’re virtuous.

How does the cost break down in terms of private insurance versus single payer+private insurance? Basically what I’m wondering is if I currently have private insurance and it covers me for most things, what would be the difference if we switched to single payer (which covers far fewer things) and then I was also required to supplement with private (to fill in the gaps for what used to be covered but now isn’t under single payer). I suspect single payer is great for people who don’t currently have private insurance, but far worse for people who do.
