Socialism is more popular than Project 2025

[Luckyone]

In a recent NBC survey of registered voters that gauged the popularity of several things, it was shown that Socialism has more likes and fewer dislikes than Project 2025. With MAGAs eager to classify anything they don't like as Socialism; it's telling to note that it is still more popular than the right-wing plan to purge the government of all whose allegiance is to the constitution rather than trump. When they put out a several hundred-page report about what they intend to do, we should pay attention and vote to stop such heinous actions.

First of all, the Constitution is partly socialism as it promotes "of the people, for the people and by the people" guidelines.

Project 2025 is a plan that puts a dictator-like government when it is the few that decide and not "the people".

As such and for Americans, socialism is more popular.

There are a lot of examples of GOOD socialism as what is seen in Denmark, Switzerland, New Zealand and others, that promote Democratic Socialism. The bad Socialism is generally called Communism. We do not have anyone pushing that here.

Currently, the negotiation involves that, but it's a contract that would be mostly unenforceable if our own Congress didn't create legal issues regarding the purchase of foreign drugs to begin with.

Compulsory licensing is when the government opens up a patent to allow other producers to make a drug when supply is scarce and need is dire for the public. So, a lifesaving medicine can temporarily be produced by competitors to serve the public's need. This has the added benefit of lowering the cost as well.

US drug companies would charge less for drugs here without any governmental intervention if we had the option of legally buying foreign drugs. They only charge what they do because of the limitations on this market established by government (both ours and foreign ones).

The market would naturally reset if any citizen of any country could buy drugs from any country. You would still see regional variances in the cost of drugs due to differences in currency and cost of living, but in general, drugs would be far cheaper here than they currently are.

But they aren't foreign drugs, they're US drugs.

Compulsory licensing is when the government opens up a patent to allow other producers to make a drug when supply is scarce and need is dire for the public.

So, if the US company doesn't sell to Canada, at a low price, Canada will allow a Canadian company to steal the IP and make it in Canada.
I wonder why the drug company would be upset at the reimported cheap drug or the cheap, stolen generic being sold in the US?

US drug companies would charge less for drugs here without any governmental intervention if we had the option of legally buying foreign drugs.

US drug companies would create fewer new drugs here without any governmental intervention to protect their ability to make a profit.

The market would naturally reset if any citizen of any country could buy drugs from any country.

It sure would, but not in a good way.

but in general, drugs would be far cheaper here than they currently are.

Of course, not spending billions on new drugs would result in cheaper drugs.

Countries with socialized medicine have lower infant mortality rates and higher life expectancies than the United States. Health care in those countries is less expensive than in the United States. Health care in the United States is more expensive than in other affluent democracies because much of the money spent on health care goes to health insurance companies.

US spends most on health care but has worst health outcomes among high-income countries, new report finds​

CNN —
The United States spends more on health care than any other high-income country but still has the lowest life expectancy at birth and the highest rate of people with multiple chronic diseases, according to a new report from The Commonwealth Fund, an independent research group.

The report, released Tuesday, also says that compared with peer nations, the US has the highest rates of deaths from avoidable or treatable causes and the highest maternal and infant death rates.

“Americans are living shorter, less healthy lives because our health system is not working as well as it could be,” the report’s lead author, Munira Gunja, senior researcher for The Commonwealth Fund’s International Program in Health Policy and Practice Innovation, said in a news release. “To catch up with other high-income countries, the administration and Congress would have to expand access to health care, act aggressively to control costs, and invest in health equity and social services we know can lead to a healthier population.”

People in the US see doctors less often than those in most other countries, which is probably related to the US having a below-average number of practicing physicians, according to the report, and the US is the only country among those studied that doesn’t have universal health coverage. In 2021 alone, 8.6% of the US population was uninsured.

“Not only is the U.S. the only country we studied that does not have universal health coverage, but its health system can seem designed to discourage people from using services,” researchers at the Commonwealth Fund, headquartered in New York, wrote in the report. “Affordability remains the top reason why some Americans do not sign up for health coverage, while high out-of-pocket costs lead nearly half of working-age adults to skip or delay getting needed care.”

Like Cuba? What are their rates?

 

[BULLDOG]

Ya know, after ALL THE EVIDENCE OF LIES AND DISINFORMATION FROM THE LEFT MEDIA......
'60 Minutes' publicly releases transcripts of interview at heart of its dispute with Trump

Allowing their use in any OP as a "legitimate" source of information here proves the Left lean of this forums ownership.
Posts like this with their only source being MSM should be immediately moved to Badlands or Satire. The Left MSM is nothing more than propaganda disinformation.

Your brainwashing is complete.

Most educated people supported Kamala Harris, not because she is wonderful, but because the man she ran against is proudly ignorant, impulsive, and dangerous.

Most educated people supported Kamala Harris,

Yeah, the baristas with $200K in student loan debt for their Masters Degrees loved Harris.

 

[BULLDOG]

Are libs really this dumb? ^^^

He’s saying that the very existence of insurance, even for very routine things, is driving up the cost of them - and thus people need insurance to pay the costs inflated BY insurance.

The few things that are not covered by insurance come down to an affordable level.

Would heart surgery be affordable without insurance?

Liberal government forces insurance to cover everything, (trans surgery) and then whines that insurance is expensive.

Why education is becoming a bigger divide in politics​

Well, we're talking about the education line, and whether or not you have a college degree seems to be one of the biggest predictors of how you're going to vote. If you have a college degree, more likely than not, you're voting Democratic. If you don't, more likely than not now, you're voting Republican. And that's a pretty big shift from what we had seen, you know, in the 1980s or '90s, even the early 2000s.

If you have a college degree, more likely than not, you're voting Democratic.

4 or more years of left-wing indoctrination works on a portion of the weak minded.

 

[GMCGeneral]

Government is the problem. They are not working for the citizens anymore but the corporations and the idiot public just voted in trump who is anti people and pro corporations. That doesn't help anything. But at the same time you can't throw out the baby with the bathwater. Until they work for the people again we are left with the scraps.

And therein lies the rub. Government is not there to wipe your pathetic little liberal ass everytime you go bawling you need a binky.

Weak minded people drop out of high school. They rarely graduate from college.

Yeah, but enough about the dropouts who voted for Harris.

mostly they graduate from Ivy league colleges.

The "Founding Fathers" were intelligent and well educated for their time.

The Founders Fathers were educated in PRIVATE SCHOOLS wherein


socialist government bureaucrats like Randi Weingarten and the NEA had NO NO influence.

 

[Contumacious]

A statement like that needs to be documented.

Health care has become more expensive because doctors can solve health problems they could not solve in the past.

Nope.


Medicaid and Medicare have contributed to the problem, but the medical cartel is the original sin. Through its ability to keep incomes high by limiting supply and outlawing competition, organized medicine has punished its customers, although the word is never used so as to disguise what is, after all, an economic relationship.

Medical Control, Medical Corruption - LewRockwell

This article appeared in the June 1994 issue of Chronicles. The vested interests are sick over it: Americans are beginning, just slightly, to take charge of their own health care. Such best-sellers as the Doctor’s Book of Home Remedies, the Physician’s Desk Reference, and the Merck Manual can...

In our Constitutional Republic an individual has the right to life, Liberty, Property and to pursue happiness.

It doesn't state that a socialist community organizer will steal from TAXPAYERS to Provide for the PARASITES

In 1937 SCOTUS ruled that the government COULD NOT STEAL FROM A in order to support B

The Founding Fathers could afford private schools. Most Americans could not.

That's because Randi Weingarten has convinced the populace that children education must begin at PRE KINDERGARTEN in order to keep NEA members EMPLOYED !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

So returning the power of things like the DOE to the states is Socialist?
