1 - how many meds do you have to take to keep you alive?
2 - what's the quality of life?
3 - other peer countries have a longer life expectancy than the US.

Sure. I´m sure people dying because of they can´t afford adequate medical treatment.

Hi Geneva,
Why do you say he's a communist, as far as I can tell from searching around the web, I cannot find any legit proof he is one? If you have legit proof, I'd like to see it.
Wasn't Virginia a bigger upset than New York?
I think right now due to the shutdown, despite Trump's best efforts to blame the Democrats, a lot of people are blaming Republicans since they hold the majority in the senate, Congress and President.... So while I may seem like it's going to be a big blue wave I'm betting come midterms once the shutdown is over it'll be status quo like normal

Did the people get to voice their opinion? God forbid that spreads across the country?
Personally, IDGAF who the mayor of NYC is, it doesn't impact me in the slightest. If he can show his policies can produce results, I'm all for it. Better for them to play in someone else's backyard than mine, bring successful policies my way after they're proven.

I like making signs
He probably won't get far on his agenda.
He is a practicing Muslim so he's being compared to London's mayor. He's also only 34 and never had a job. New York is the financial capital of the world with 8.48 million residents. He made a lot of promises he won't be able to keep.
• Fast and free buses
(paid for by the tax increase, not sure how you make them faster?)
• Government run grocery stores with cheaper groceries
(there's only a 1-2% mark-up on groceries to begin with and over 16,000 grocery stores in NY so he will never be able to make a dent)
• Tax millionaires and above 1-2%
(Governor Hochul is the only one who can increase this tax and it doesn't sound like she's going to do it because the rich will flee)
• Rent freeze
(he can only freeze rent in government housing and I think again, the Governor has to approve it and not sure she is going to do that)
• Construct 200,000 new government apartments
(with all the regulations and red-tape - good luck. It takes 6-12 months just to build a 1 family house)
• Defund the police crap again so will probably become more dangerous and with all the "free" handouts a haven for losers looking for free stuff.

can't get the required 60 votes when the Democrats keep voting against their previously approved CR.
...but sure, "orange man bad" because he's allowing them to throw a tantrum.
maybe try reading sometime, rather than regurgitating libtard talking points.
Your right, God damn libtards blaming the president saying it's the president's job to get people together, and is his fault for a shutdown.
As usual you're living in a wonderland, throw out slurs / name calling instead of having a proper discussion. Wasn't it you that got mad people said magat before? Haven't heard 1 person mock a Republican or call them names in the past 10 pages, but it seems to be your go to defense when you have nothing smart to say, you're like a toddler

2011 was a good year, Trump was so naive, as were the rest of us.
but sure thing boss...cry and whine about Orange Man Bad, but then plead for him to be your Daddy rather than acknowledge that its the Democrats in the Senate throwing a tantrum over funding illegals and LGBTQIA+ advocacy in Uganda.

Hell I'm game to see what he does. Once again, no skin off my back. Those NYC folks seem to like him enough. I'm quite interested to see how his increased tax on the wealthy plays out.
They don't need the 60 votes, they can nuke the filibuster and move right along, they're just afraid of losing that leverage when the tables are turned, as they should be.
From what you understand?
My wife was diagnosed with cancer 11 years ago. She was in for surgery in 3 weeks, weekly follow ups for 3 months, then monthly for another year and every 6 months after that.
All drugs included for 10 years. My only out of pocket expense was parking at the hospital.
Canadian health care has its issues, but you are deluded if you think the US system is better.
Canada is a small country compared to USA, so it's hard to say we have a better army... Better GDP... Better political system, were a baby country compared to almost any other country, were barelly older than 150... That means my great grandpa was around before the country was born, so it's hard to beat other countries on certain things, but healthcare, even though it's not perfect, is one thing almost every Canadian can agree and be proud of is better than America / other countries.
Our system has flaws - and if we had America's population, I imagine our system would crash easily, everyone says it doesn't scale well and that's why it's getting worst and worst... so I'm not saying our system should be implemented in USA. But there's so much bs information politicians spread about our healthcare to make it sound bad, when in reality I honestly think 99% of the population would rather keep our healthcare than go private - everyone has gripes and thinks our healthcare needs reforming, but the core of it is generally agreed upon to be good, we just need to build upon it and make it better.
And again, before it starts a debate.... I don't know Obamacare or ACA or anything else, I think USA should be a leader in healthcare and provide healthcare for all, whether they call it trumpcare, or Maga care, or whatever else it wants to be called - free healthcare should be a priority for every politician and president no matter what side of the isle they stand on.. I'd rather my taxes go towards keeping me alive if I need it vs paving a new road or building a new park or funding a new war.

No one is denied medical treatment in America. Doctors can refuse to treat patients if they've never seen them before. But no one is denied medical care for lack of insurance.

Please go back and reread what I said. I never said that the US system was better. The US system has turned to crap since the inception of Obamacare.

Well, no one with money...
Sure, walk into an ER with the flu and they'll treat you, they'll also nuke your credit score when you inevitably can't pay. But have no insurance and walk into an urgent care without insurance or moolah, they'll kick your ass to the curb.
Is this not the same as being denied medical treatment?
Don't they only have to treat you if it's life or death? And only have to treat the life or death problem? Such as they don't have to give you an expensive MRI, just latch you up and get you out the door?
Let's say you have a hernia and need surgery to fix it..would they still
Treat you knowing it won't kill you, just make your life very uncomfortable?
Or if you have diabetes and need meds to manage it, they don't have to give you meds... They'll just take care of you if you come in dying, patch you up and then out the door you go with no meds still?
My understanding is anything life or death they'll take care of - anything "quality of life", such as a broken arm... They can refuse you if they don't think they'll get paid for it.
Not sure if that's still accurate, I know it was 20 years ago, all the TV shows I watch still portray it that way.... But I don't take TV shows as fact just as Canada's healthcare is overblown in one direction, I'm sure America healthcare portrayal is just as skewed in the other direction.
[Edit] I was curious so I looked it up... Apparently a broken arm is considered an emergency so they have to examine you, and potentially put a cast on you.... But if it's broken in multiple areas / requires surgery, a cast is deemed sufficient.
A hernia can be considered an emergency if it's causing your organs to fail / you're at risk of dying... But is considered an elective surgery if you're not at risk of dying and are just in a lot of pain, so they can refuse to repair your hernia unless it's life threatening.
