(46,192 posts)well then that means you support repealing ACA, because we can't have full single payer without ACA being removed.
and you support repealing Medicare, because the program only covers those 65 and over or those fully disabled.
oh and then you support repealing Medicaid, because that's 50 systems and single payer means just one payer, but that's 50 payers!
oh and then you support taking away everyone's private insurance!
===============
here's the thing. that's bullshit. you support single payer, so do i. that's the answer to the question. saying if you support single payer that you automatically have taken a dozen or more stances on other laws is bullshit argumentation. oh, if we were actually arguing the merits of each and every law and were proposing to change individual laws, that would be fair.
BUT WE'RE NOT.
I posted that concealed carry permitting should be much, much more stringent. That's called AN IDEA. I didn't take a stand on all the previous national and local laws that would have to be changed to do it, I said we need something stricter.
And then X-digger tried to play the game i was describing at the top of this message.
And it's bullshit and he knows it. It's a bullshit way of arguing and I'm not going to play around when confronted by it by single issue gungeoner types who have an agenda that is mostly opposed to what DU is about.
