Two things that are less expensive here. Cognitive dissonance much?

Just lurk this thread, sit back and laugh at how ridiculous it is, don't bother engaging. The best part is we have 8 years of this to look forward to.

The biggest issue which nobody seems to talk about with regards to healthcare in the States, is why is it priced so much higher there? Maybe it has something to do with big money lobby's influencing government policies.

Haha, trust me there has been lots of face palm and even double face palms to comments in this thread. What they don't know can't hurt them I guess?

I agree with big money lobby. Someone asked me what trump has done so far and I didn't even mention that. Going after elitist lobbiests in Washington is a huge win for the American people. The crooked shanagans of the previous administrations has come to an end. I can't wait for more corruption in the system to be exposed and the people responsible held accountable. Trump ran his campaign on this message and to the horror of the MSM he's actually carrying through with campaign promises.

So big money is the issue but you both back the party that is repealing government intervention. Double dissonance.

It shouldn't be. It's the big money lobby's influencing the politicians in the US is the reason why the prices are so high, price fixing. It's not the actual cost, if anything it should be cheaper in the US then any other place.

We saw with Obamacare that it didn't help with the price at all, it went up. Plus jobs were lost because companies were forced now to pay into this mandate or lay people off or hire part time. It was a terrible plan, not that Trumps is much better.

In Canada that has more to do with size of population and geography.

You realize that Trump is perhaps the most corrupt President in history?

Has Trump divested himself from his businesses? Has Trump released his taxes? Has Trump drained the swamp (the answer is no of course). Are Trump and his team currently being investigated by the FBI?

I kinda want to know what the face palm and double face palm moments in thisthread are.

Yes it should be, the insurance industry is an oligopoly with high barriers to entry meaning without regulation gouging will occur and the consumer is worse off.

LOL.

Is that what infowars, Hannity and Breitbart told you? Two of these are also being investigated by the FBI, BTW.

And is Hillary Clinton the President of the United States?

LOL What???? You think big money interests aren't going to profit off of more government intervention? Look what happened with tuition costs once the wise benevolent government guaranteed them? The prices haven't stopped going up.

You also saw it with Obamacare, the prices only went up and now you forced people into paying for something that they couldn't previously afford, then you fine them if they can't pay into it.

What was that about dissonance???
