Medicare for all?
Why am I wrong?

Folks with plenty will always have choices. One of the greatest things about wealth: it creates opportunities and choices.
Everyone else have limited options.

If your fellow Citizens matter to you, why not have a public option for health care and services?
Not Cadillac Care, but why not Chevette Care?

Keep people healthy and avoid huge costs. Obesity, alcohol and drug addiction cost plenty. Want help? Stop doing what you’re doing, or let em die in the street.

In one generation, the entire country will change.

“In one generation, the entire country will change.”

Far less than that, but in the shorter term maybe the mRNA shots will help reduce the medicare rolls

I would recommend a basic course in (free market) economics—like these books:

https://www.amazon.com/Economics-One-Lesson-Shortest-Understand/dp/0517548232

https://www.amazon.com/Economy-State-Power-Market-Scholars/dp/1933550996/

Once a good becomes “free” then demand becomes unlimited.

Since there is real labor and materials cost to produce that good that unlimited demand faces limited supply which means that the price will always keep increasing.

That is what we have now.

“Free” equals systemic collapse—every time.

It takes decades though—so by the time the collapse happens it is too late to do anything about it.

“If your fellow Citizens matter to you, why not have a public option for health care and services?”

Friend, if your fellow citizens matter to you, why not let them pay for what they need? Why not let them make their own life choices? Why not let them not be burdened by big government taxation so they can pay for what need themselves.

If you care about your fellow citizens, you would not insist on socialism.

Why do you hate your fellow citizens, or do you mistake supporting socialism as you being generous?
