    Countries with affordable health care tend to have heavy regulations and use taxes to help fund the system. MAGA would probably riot over “socialism” and “guvurnment overreach”

      Nah that’s incorrect, the American system costs the government more per capita than Australia’s with significantly worse outcomes for end users.

        Yes, but it feels more expensive and requires the government behave competently (Republicans are ideologically opposed to functioning government) this results in it being his job as a Republican to not understand any of this

          It’s wild that this number of people, who are at best willfully ignorant and at worst wildly corrupt, have managed to congregate in the highest offices of one of the most powerful countries on the planet. It’s difficult to believe that Hanlon’s Razor might apply to this group of people given they seem so adamantly opposed to helping the people they apparently serve and represent and so driven to pursue the anguish of minorities. They are almost comically evil we need to resort to fantasy to describe them: dragons hording a pile of wealth; ghouls sucking the life out of everything around them; liches that wont fucking die already.
