The US was and is ensuring a minimum level of care. We simply aren’t mandating it, as our Socialist allies do. ;)

Tying people’s health to the national health service budget. Sick, literally.

The issue is where the profits come from - that is the money that is available to put into R&D. If the U.S. joined other countries in limiting drug prices, that R&D money would take a huge hit. In response, I’m sure the anti-free market folks would urge greater government funding of drug research. I don’t see much…

The fact that the “study” counts Roche as a Swiss company raises serious questions about its accuracy. The company may be headquartered in Switzerland, but its R&D (and much of its profits) come from the United States.

Because a free market society actually has excess wealth that can be used by free citizens to found schools, charitable hospitals and support churches, etc. Compare societies where all such “charity” is a function of government.

Nothing says “compassion” like using government force to extract money from some people to give it (well a small part of it) to other people.

“The truth is, I still like Cutco knives. They’re still the ones I pull from the block at my folks’ house, and I still like the way they feel in my hand”

Nicely done. Thanks.

Yeah, because after the vote Trump will control the Internet and stop us from being able to say anything.

The Wall Street Journal from 12/31/17 which will likely include a summary of the exceedingly positive economic news (employment numbers, income rise, stock market boom, etc.).

But it fit perfectly with the current acceptable belief system:

Are you disputing that companies offer free phones and monthly plans to those who qualify for the subsidy?

If you’d like a slightly more informed (but still biased...just the other way) take, try:

It’s not a zero sum game. Otherwise there would never be any (non-population increase related) economic growth.

We don’t. The US has just recognized Israel’s decision as to what their capital is.

So we should continue to deny reality so that crazy people don’t riot and try to kill innocent (Jewish) civilians? Gotcha.

The Puritans have returned.

In other news: “Many Twitch users report that they enjoy looking at attractive women.”

Except you clearly don’t have any idea about what actually goes in to racing at the most elite levels.
