Yeah that seems pretty dishonest to me.

She's all for the Green New Deal too, which has a ton of hurdles.

Not really a fan of pro-abortion.

Universal healthcare is a no go for me too.

Don't really care for reparations.

I'd prefer to leave minimum wages up to the states.

Granted I know there is more to her than that, but those are just some of the more basic things I disagree with, I'd have to do some more research on other ideas.

I like the idea of Universal healthcare. It works well for Australia, Canada, Finland, France, Germany, Hungary, Iceland, Ireland, Israel, the Netherlands, New Zealand, Norway, Portugal, the Slovak Republic, Slovenia, Sweden, Switzerland, and the UK. I work in healthcare and they ship me around to teach other health care professionals, some of the medical techniques that I have perfected. I have traveled to Canada on multiple occasions and I will tell you that the medical care is so different up there (not in a bad way I will clarify). They don't have wasteful spending of providing unnecessary testing, and medicine is exponentially less expensive. We are ranked 11th in healthcare and the UK is ranked #1 in the world. I think most politicians are hoping to duplicate a system similar to that of the UK.

The United States is much bigger than those countries, itll never work. Think of it this way, how long do you sit in the waiting room now at the hospital? Times that by like 5 or 6. Also, there goes your doctor that you choose. So many flaws to it and one being that we already have social programs for the poor.

This because you've never been to Brazil. To have a "decent" health care plan you have to pay for a private one. Such a BS.

Pros:

Skates well for size
Makes big hits that look cool

Cons:

Lives in own end
Scores at a low rate at even strength relative to icetime
Takes up a not insignificant percentage of the cap

Sound familiar?

I actually wondered for a while if a Johnson for Risto straight up swap would be a good idea since Risto is pretty much young JJ who can still produce offense, but figured that the bump in cap hit and the fact that he wouldn’t get PP1 time here made it not worth it.

Lol, you and whoever can work in the healthcare all you want. Let me ask you this, why did I just go to the ER a month ago, wait 2 hours with probably 8 other patients and not 1 get called back? I bet the quality of care is gonna be outta this world too huh?

The problem is Risto is 24yo and still got some perceived value around the league. He'll take perhaps a J.Johnson/Rust package. Some said Schultz would have to be in the deal to work out for everyone. He's signed until 21/22.

Unique story... so I will raise you with my "story". Was at an ER last year for my partner... was 37 people when I got there and everyone in those 37 was in and out in under 2 hours.

While on vacation, my 13-month-old son ran a 103.8 fever, so I took him to the local ER. After they did his vitals, they noticed he had a runny nose to check him for the flu, and sent us back to the waiting room. This was 8:00PM. We finally got called back at 12:30 AM, and the doctor looks at his chart and says, "They didn't check his ears!?" He looks and says, "Oh, he's got an ear infection, he needs antibiotics."

While we were waiting in the ER, there were maybe 25 people there, maybe 15 got called back. It's all relative to where you are, what cases they're dealing with, and how many people are on staff. I have never seen any ER, anywhere, that routinely has patients in and out in less than 4 minutes on average.

I don’t think Guile was arguing that American healthcare is a smoothly oiled machine. I think his point was that anecdotal evidence doesn’t prove anything because anyone can pull a counter-personal story out of their ass that supports the opposite conclusion.

I agree. Just saying, getting 37 people in and out of an ER in 2 hours or less seems almost superhuman.

I don't have enough experience with our current heathcare and all of its ins-and-outs to know the magical solution.

Risto sucks ass. It would make sense for GMJR to target him, furthering the destruction of the Pens blue line.

If you could do JMFJ for him 1-for-1, that would be a move in the right direction, I think. Can he top a whopping 1 goal and/or be better than abysmal defensively if given top-4 minutes all season?

I think he’s in a similar situation that Schultz was in Edmonton. He’s being deployed as a top pairing Dman when he’s nothing of the sort. I agree with you that he should be better than JJ but getting Risto would mean that 2 d pairings still need sheltered.

I feel like with Universal healthcare there are a few issues.

Funding, that would come in the form of taxpayers dollars and I’m not really interested in paying anyone else’s healthcare.

Quality of care might suffer as well. In theory, it should generates more people that need treated but not necessarily generating more doctors/healthcare professionals which places a bigger burden on the people working in the hospitals/doctors offices. We have a significantly higher population than the UK, Australia, etc.

I also feel like private healthcare incentivizes the healthcare professions a little more as well. I don’t think there would be as much competition between doctors.

I also don’t really believe that healthcare is a right. I don’t think anyone’s rights should fall on the shoulders of someone else.

To me, healthcare should be a decision, not a necessity. If you don't want healthcare for you and your family, then that's fine, but you won't be admitted to a care facility unless you can pay for it.

If there's a farmer who lives by himself in the middle of Oklahoma who is 2 hours from the nearest ER, maybe he doesn't need health care because, if he's in serious trouble, he's done for. He may pay out of pocket for the local town doctor, but again, it should be his choice.

Same, but I do want to make one amendment: For health care, there should be an requirement for kids to have it up to a certain point. If you've got a 5-year-old that's dying, what doctor's gonna look the parent in the eye and say, "Sorry, no can do, you don't have insurance?"
