I attack you for stating the obvious, which seems like an attempt to make it seem like "free" healthcare doesn't really matter, and cost the same as privatized through private insurance. When in fact it is way cheaper overall.
In Europe healthcare cost are about half of what they are in USA, and life expectancy is longer, and old age quality of life is higher mostly because of better old age health.

    If it's obvious, why don't you use correct terms, something like "public health care"? Using correct terms is an extreme right wing talking point? Lol..

    Because Americans have so goddam many terms for similar things. Single payer, universal, public, public insurance, private insurance, community based, employer paid. The current system is called "Mixed non-universal". So I used a description instead. And you knew what I meant.
    BTW how many languages do you speak? It's pretty low to criticize minor mistakes by someone writing in a 2nd language.
    I write better American than many Americans!!!

    So you intentionally say wrong stuff and then attack people as extreme right wing who correct you. Charming. You're also starting to make excuses, 2nd language, but you still can't apologize for your shitty behavior.
