The 2nd amendment itself is just a leftover anyway. The purpose was so that the US did not have to have a standing army and volunteer citizens(militia) would be called to war when needed bringing their personal arms. This ended Sep. 29th, 1789 when US military was established.

What were the arms when the constitution was written?

If you would actually read I said that before. I never claimed it was free. It is free at the point of service. It would be cheaper for most people and overall as a total amount spent on healthcare because of reduced administration cost, no advertising, no stock buybacks.

Fear of cost when seeking healthcare means free at the point of service, so no copays, or deductibles to meet. Your taxes pay for it completely, no worry about medical debt. Most Drs are already paid in part by Medicare and Medicaid patients which are federally funded programs.

I never used the term free healthcare. It is free at the point of service. So funding from a system similar to Medicare would pay the doctor.

On the college/trade school side of things. Yes it costs more up front, but the returns on an educated populace can’t be understated on nearly every front. That is why free at the point of service K-12 education exists to begin with.

Having a single payer system also significantly decreases administration costs in both time and money for health providers as well as on the health insurance side. Private insurance spend 17% on administration. Medicare spends around 3-5% on administration cost. /3?

It’s free at the point of service. For health ins. you are taking all the money you and your employer spend on premiums, copays, deductible etc. and paying (for most) less than that in taxes. Private insurance companies take a profit cut, advertise, etc which drives cost 1/2

Im not assuming anything, but more people will go to college/trade school/community college if it’s free, and more people will be healthy because of a lack of fear of cost when seeking care and in situations that currently are cost prohibitive.

Because a more educated society is more productive for everyone. Because a healthy population is more productive for everyone, also because the current US system focuses on curative care which is more profitable for pharma and hospitals than preventative care.

He posted a photo of the old 12th district which also says republican hold. It’s an easy mistake to make if you don’t know the numbers are changing.

Im giving an opportunity to gain some knowledge and change opinion instead of being an asshole about it. Im leftist, but just completely dismissing people before engaging in any discourse is not how to win anyone over.

That’s the old 12th district. It’s confusing but the district numbers are changing. The old 18th is the new 12th. en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Penn…

Here is a brief paper on economic velocity. usceconreview.com/2021/04/15…

That is average not median. The same issue comes up when you talk about average household income there is a significant positive skew. That’s also why I mentioned not just housing, but also mentioned the price of other goods.

I don’t have anything readily available that measures the current dynamics of the economy in this way, just some stuff from the past. Here is median income to housing. longtermtrends.net/home-pric…

I like economic velocity as an indicator but that’s just me. Probably better is Median and mode household income relative to the cost of essential goods e.g. housing, food, healthcare, clothing.

The above is called confirmation bias. mediabiasfactcheck.com/the-f…
