For Single Payer to work several things have to be accomplished. There must be a tax increase. However, for the individual, the tax increase has to be less than the average cost of monthly premiums thereby allowing them to save money. Any taxation placed on businesses have to be less than what they typically pay to provide employee insurance and what they pay towards employee care. This requires the necessary population, income, and business demographics to be in place. The single payer legislation in Vermont was set aside because it wasn't time. The tax increase necessary would be greater than current expenditures. Vermont is a rather small state. It would be better if Vermont and several other states formed a regional single payer program.

States actively moving towards single payer are:

California
Nevada
Arizona

In the U.S. Congress H.R. 676 (Expanded and Improved Medicare for All Act) is gaining momentum as the problems with both Trumpcare and Obamacare are compared.

Single payer health insurance is a BIG move. It's perhaps the largest political vision of the century. It will be perhaps the most significant development in the United States.

So you cannot blame this on the GOP. We cannot let ourselves be blackmailed into passing laws that the people reject just because some nut demands that we do and threatens violence if we don't. That gunmen yesterday did not attack Republicans, he attacked the whole people of America and our constitution.
I agree. The problem is when legislation stands to physically harm millions of Americans. There will be backlash.

Re: House Rep Scalise Shot

Here's another one to add to the list, from a writer for HuffPo named Jesse Benn. This was posted AFTER the shooting of Scalise. This man should be brought up on charges of treason and inciting violence.

For violent resistance to work it'd need to be organized. Individual acts can be understandable, but likely counterproductive/ineffective.

Let me say I'm VERY skeptical that this is true. Either the lady you claim to know is lying or she's being lied to or she doesn't exist. It shouldn't be hard to contact this lady and get her source to post it here.

By all means, please prove me wrong.
Still waiting for the source showing how this mom you claim to know will cap out on insurance for a healthcare plan which hasn't been drafted in the Senate, hasn't passed Congress and hasn't been signed into law by Trump!

You are so one dimensional. You post things without even a care to ponder what you post. Wealthy conservatives? You mean Hillary and Bill are walking around in sack cloth and ashes? Bernie Sanders has to sell pencils in order to get his next meal? Michael Moore is sucking on his wallet? Arianna Huffington is wearing rags, and on food stamps? George Soros walking to work at a factory job? Listening to NPR is one thing, believing NPR is stupid.

I'm sorry about your loss of a parent. Yet, I'm not sorry for what I'm about to post to you. You have issues, and you need to figure out what you are going to do about them. You need to find a pastor, because what you are currently involved in couldn't get a fly high. Using your deceased mother as a political prop is horrible behavior. Seriously Aquila you need to ponder this.

This is unbelievable from a Christain. Yet, I have realized that what you are currently involved in doesn't require you to be one. Aquila it is you who talk tough. It is you who is the hero of everyone of your posts. It is funny how imbeciles spout off how they would storm the Bastille. When in reality they will be the first behind the couch. It is easy to sit in the comfort of your home posting away. Telling us how brave you are, how much of a SJW you are, how much you want to be George McGovern. But, the truth is that you wouldn't be the point man in any peasant uprising. You talk big, but the fact is you are fueled by wind power.

Much like when Aquila posted the 97% myth about the Gorebol Climate Scam, and I posted a refutation that completely demolished it. Not a peep from him on the subject. No admission that he was wrong, not even an acknowledgement of my post. Just silence.

And that is why I put him on ignore.
He will rarely acknowledge when he is wrong.
He will just disappear.
I even stalked him on other threads for a while in an effort to get him to address my rebuttals, but he ignored those posts, as well.
I have no time for those who engage in false debate.
