The week's question
In December 2024, in the thread "Re: BRK: Why Not XOM?", BreckHutHigh asked the members: "What about the long road trips with kids?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

My one worry: If it becomes MediCare for all ---what is to stop government from dictating which doctor I can and can't go to? My parents are on MediCare and yes they seem to have full choice but if the masses all got in---would that remain the case?

Heh. This is one of the elephants in the room that no liberal ever has the fortitude to address. The other one is if government is paying for your health care they also will start heavily regulating what foods you can eat and how much exercise you have to have.


Oh dear! What would happen if the masses got healthcare coverage! Next thing you know, the “masses” will want food. And a house. Just outrageous!!!

Oh, and Dope1, for sure. Now that ICE agents have arrested all the criminal 6 year olds, they’ll be free to check your groceries. And they’ll beak into your home (without a warrant, of course) and force you to exercise. The horror!!!

And while you’re fabricating tales, don’t forget death panels!! That’ll really make MAGA wet their pants.
