I never understood why "conservatives" were so opposed to universal health care. plimsoll Sep 2021 #9

Profits. Kaiser gave Nixon the idea for profit based HMO. This right after Johnson started Medicare Tommymac Sep 2021 #36

You are correct. It was Nixon and Kaiser that steered America toward healthcare for profit... Raster Sep 2021 #102

In fact, there is a quote, not sure who said it, I think it was Nixon... Raster Sep 2021 #103

One reason. Because WE are for it. They will die to own liberals. Ferrets are Cool Sep 2021 #48

That's mainly US conservatives IronLionZion Sep 2021 #52

That's US conservatives' fear: that liberal policies would be proven to work. n/t Beartracks Sep 2021 #59

Yeah, but you'd want to use comparative percentages Sympthsical Sep 2021 #8

In real terms, it's like nuking Portland, OR or Nashville, TN.... paleotn Sep 2021 #15

Absolute numbers are good too. plimsoll Sep 2021 #17

I only converted because I was interested Sympthsical Sep 2021 #29

Don't your percentages rely on calculations wnylib Sep 2021 #56

Percentages are more meaningful in this situation, I think. NH Ethylene Sep 2021 #50

Percentages are the right way to compare historical events, given a rising population Klaralven Sep 2021 #77

Percent is interesting & telling, but I'm not sure it's the most valid when used alone. NullTuples Sep 2021 #85

So unnecessary too. Joinfortmill Sep 2021 #10

Totally Agree."Lock him up" 1min,52secs, Trump says "Virus is a hoax..We have lost nobody to virus" Stuart G Sep 2021 #38

I doubt "reporters" would ever ask the HOAX question. They are too chickenshit. HUAJIAO Sep 2021 #49

Not all reporters are "chickenshit." Some will ask that question, and at debates he will be reminded Stuart G Sep 2021 #53

I hope you are right and I am wrong. HUAJIAO Sep 2021 #54

He will be remembered saying "It's a hoax," by us on DU and too few others. Doodley Sep 2021 #60

DUers have no reason to lie about this ... FakeNoose Sep 2021 #47

The CDC has data that compares the increase in deaths to what is typical. NH Ethylene Sep 2021 #51

That gives the total excess deaths from the start of March 2020 to mid July 2021 as about 715,000 muriel_volestrangler Sep 2021 #76

That's probably an undercount as it may have included May & June. n/t NH Ethylene Sep 2021 #82

I doubt there's a way to prove it either way IronLionZion Sep 2021 #55
