The real reason Joe Biden opposes Marijuana legalization is because he is paid millions of dollars by big pharma. Big pharma would rather have people addicted to dangerous prescription pills instead of using natural marijuana.
Joe Biden also opposes Medicare for all because the insurance companies pay Joe Biden millions of dollars.
Joe Biden is also bought and paid for by China as well. Joe Biden has business interests in China.
if I was president I would legalize Marijuana, and then arrest Joe Biden for the illegal things he did in Ukraine and arrest Joe Biden’s son Hunter Biden.
According to a lot of sources, the US spends more on health care than any other country in the world. Even when GDP is taken to account.There's nothing more expensive than 'free'; especially when it comes from the government. There's a very good reason we haven't done that.
We'd be paying a lot less if the system wasn't ruined by socialism and over-regulation. Adding more government/regulation/socialism always ends in disaster.According to a lot of sources, the US spends more on health care than any other country in the world. Even when GDP is taken to account.

That's not the argument you made. The argument you made was "there's nothing more expensive than free". That is clearly not the case.We'd be paying a lot less if the system wasn't ruined by socialism and over-regulation. Adding more government/regulation/socialism always ends in disaster.
Universal healthcare is only good for the poorest and sickest patients. The government has no right to force me to pay for someone else's healthcare.
Considering the amount of money we waste on social welfare programs, I'd have to disagree.That's not the argument you made. The argument you made was "there's nothing more expensive than free". That is clearly not the case.
Just admit that the reason the US has outrageously expensive health care is because at some point you let the insurance companies run the show. And why the fuck would you trust an insurance company to provide you with quality health care? Your health is not their priority, their profits are.Considering the amount of money we waste on social welfare programs, I'd have to disagree.
Also, we already have socialized healthcare. See Medicaid, Medicare, and the ACA. You can also seek financial assistance from your healthcare providers if you meet income requirements; which I've had to do since because of the ACA my deductible has skyrocketed.
The government sucks at everything it does. Why the fuck would I trust them to provide me with quality healthcare?
It's both those reasons. Government collusion with private insurance companies to make themselves a monopoly. The only way you break that is by keeping the government out of private industry as much as possible, thereby allowing free market competition.Just admit that the reason the US has outrageously expensive health care is because at some point you let the insurance companies run the show.

Still, dude, your initial argument of the US having not gone the way of free health care because it would be more expensive doesn't hold water. You already have the most expensive health care in the world. If 'free' wouldn't be cheaper, then some country with completely socialized health care would be much, much more expensive.It's both those reasons.

Over-regulation creates monopolies. Look at the state of our internet providers compared to south korea. Most people only have two ISPs to choose from. Shitty giant company #1 or shitty giant company #2. You think you could get away with that in a truly free-market system?
Giant corporations love regulation because it makes new and smaller companies harder to compete with them, cementing their monopoly, which is why Amazon loves to push for a $15 minimum wage.
There's nothing inherently wrong with monopolies. It's monopolies that are propped up by the government that are the problem.Still, dude, your initial argument of the US having not gone the way of free health care because it would be more expensive doesn't hold water.

And come on. Price cartels weren't a thing before there was no government regulation? I get your point and completely agree that too much government is clearly bad, especially when they start coming up with more things to control. But it's not just over-regulation that creates monopolies. If there were no regulation, there would be monopolies as well. And in the latter case they would be impossible to break, too.
Can you extrapolate on that? I thought your whole argument about the ISPs and Amazon was that it's bad to have a monopoly. My argument is that yes, it's bad to have monopolies, be they propped up by governments or not. My point of view is that some minimal regulation has to be in place in order for giant corporations not be able to fuck everyone in the ass. So we would need some government regulation in order for the free market to actually be a free market, as paradoxical as that may sound.There's nothing inherently wrong with monopolies.
