We are a Pro-Conservative forum. Posts must have a clear pro-conservative, or anti left-wing bias. We are interested in promoting conservatism and discussing things that might get ignored elsewhere. All sources are acceptable, however reputable sources with a reputation for factual reporting are preferred.

Dissent is allowed in the comments, but try to be constructive; if you do not agree, then provide a reason which is backed up by references or a reasonable alternative interpretation of the provided facts. That means the left wing is welcome to state their opinions, but please keep it in good faith.
A polite request, not a rule, if you feel the need to report a comment, please don't reply to it.

This is the reason obstructionism works. The VA sucks because it's not funded, because some people in our politics keep voting against it, among other things. This bolsters their own argument that "you must keep health care private, because look how bad government healthcare is"
You can't point at half-assed things that were intentionally neutered and then claim it's evidence a more comprehensive solution wouldn't work
Also Medicare is great. All the senators and house reps love it.
Whats to say that universal health care wouldnt be intentionally neutered?
Yall need to stop neutering it, that's the whole point.
Because in order to get UHC at all you have to get rid of the obstructionists first ;D Until then, you're not actually getting UHC
ETA: if you're already starting with the assumption that extreme corruption is inevitable in any and all systems regardless of attempts at mitigation then there's no point in anything, as everything will always end in corruption and it becomes "pick your preferred flavor of hell".
