        He thinks that’s a bad thing, because it means people who already have healthcare would have longer lines at the doctor and more wait for services.

        Except in reality universe healthcare = more preventative care = shorter lines for the ER and fewer critical cases cause people got taken care of earlier.

        Universal healthcare would mean less demand for emergency care.

          also (australia here), i don’t think i’ve ever waited more than a week to see my specific doctor, and i can usually find someone that day if it’s urgent?

          oh also i can call a number and get a doctor to come to my house in a few hours

          also it’s all free (other than taxes, but i guarantee my taxes are cheaper than insurance!… and you can pay more for more luxury care - which the government subsidises the same amount)

          … also also i still have private insurance for some “make life nicer” non-necessities

      A question - do you think these are all from stupidity?

      The R politicians are so stupid that they say things about D candidate which make you like the latter more?

      You think you are smarter than such powerful people?

      There’s such a thing as match-fixing in team sports.
