Mark Cuban wants constitution amended to make health care a right

Don't crush that dwarf, hand me the pliers.
Did I say anything that was even remotely advocating any form of socialist medicine?
No, but I do.
Folks in other developed countries never go broke for healthcare bills.
No, they just wait in line and die.

Hyperbole of the highest and most ridiculous order.

The number of people who die waiting in line and die in other western nations is no greater than those in America.
The numbers are probably lower because they don't have an underclass of sloth they use for votes.

I have no idea what your post means.

I live in Canada with socialized single payer system. I heard of one single case when a patient died in ER, due to the incompetence of the staff rather than the system itself.

Sure, we wait sometime, but the thing is we get there. We may wait for a surgery for six months while you only have to wait three, but we get it, regardless we can afford it or not.

It is like you going somewhere and you have a choice of going by Cadillac or
Volkswagen. Wait for your Cadillac which may never come or take the WV and get there.

On the downside, I admit, I pay higher taxes than you, but I will never go bankrupt paying my doctor.

Face it: With your sticking to 20th century medical care as well as with your sticking to your inches, gallons and miles when the rest of the world adopted the logical metric system, the 21st century left you behind.

Ouch. That metric system dig is too true. :p
 
Liberals never have enough support to pass a constitutional amendment for any of their zany, Marxist ideas. That's why they try to destroy our rights through regulations and executive orders. Death by a thousand cuts.

Unlike all of the constitutional amendments passed by conservatives.....oh wait..... ;)

At least (if the OP story is true) Cuban talked about amending the constitution rather than simply regulating, or passing unconstitutional laws. :dunno:

Conservatives generally want to preserve the Constitution and Bill of Rights, not change them.

I understand. How can one know how much it costs you to fill your tank if it is expressed in liters rather than in gallons.

Oh, the horrors!
 
The same folks who deny one to die with dignity by ending life support are content to let anyone die because they can't afford healthcare. Go figure.
If they want health insurance they can afford it. It's about priorities.
Unless you're talking about dependent democrat socialist sloth welfare mentality.
Trumpcare will charge a 64 yo more than half his income for healthcare.

Trumpcare isn't going to charge anyone since it won't be mandatory.

It would actually be pretty tough to transition I imagine. Not only would we need to change our education system, it would cost a whole lot to change all of the signs and labels that use our current measuring systems. It would also probably be fairly difficult for adults to learn and switch over, at least to the kind of level of familiarity we have with current measurements. I still think metric is far more sensible and I support changing, but it would be a long and probably painful process.

It goes to show that a very large portion of the population suck at math. Otherwise it would be very easy to switch to the metric system, perhaps even welcomed by most people (that don't suck at math).
1 Gallon is approximately equal to 3.785 liters. My truck holds about 15 gallons of gas. A quick estimate of how many liters it holds is to multiply by 4. So roughly 60 liters (a little less).

Those semi-illiterate and barbarian Canadians could do it in less than 10 years, surely those superior Americans could if they put their minds to it.

So it's not, as republicans keep repeating, accessible to everyone.

Which is to be expected and which makes my point.
You don't have an underclass kept in dependence for the purpose of garnering votes for democrats. Your system is more like a normal healthcare cooperative except it's coordinated by the state. Any version of that in this country becomes another welfare program and costs honest and legit taxpayers more while running the quality down.
It's not about being 21st century.
It's about being pragmatic.

Two thirds of the states would not vote for such an amendment. There isn't going to be a right to compel doctors to satisfy your right to healthcare. There will never be a constitutional right to marry for the same reason.

All the sneering Democrats that touted polls that Trump was only leading "uneducated whites". They laughed at them and ridiculed them for supporting Trump.

My point is that having to do the estimate would turn a lot of people off. They already know gallons, they've used gallons for many years, it would take time and effort to train their minds not to automatically think in gallons.

It's not an impossible task, nor a prohibitively difficult one, even, but I don't think most Americans would care enough to want to make the effort.

That doesn't take into account the financial and time issues, of course. Those would be significant for both government and private companies most likely.

It would be worthwhile in the end, but there would probably be a somewhat rough transition period.
