One of the most laughable things I see recently is Trumpers screaming about not defunding the police yet at the same time screaming about socialized healthcare.

Why is it OK to socialize law and order but not OK to socialize healthcare?

Surely Trumpers, you should be advocating for police insurance yes?

Then there's the Trump ad that shows a person trying to dial the police but getting an answering service yet surely this is reasonable? surely a person or household should have police insurance (with an additional premium for armed reponders) and not expect others to foot the bill?
 
No no no....PRIVATE police forces. Think...Comcast vs DHS, but with law enforcement!

It's not. They're both awful, and for pretty much the same reasons.

No, think private security firms and bodyguards. There are already more people in the private sector doing security work than there are police.

A better question is why would you want the same government that is kidnapping people off the street running your healthcare system?

We don't need them to actually run it, so long as they pay for it.

That's an oxymoron, Trump's government would never run it they'd dismantle it - this alone should signal its merits.

Because the kidnapped supply organs for the hospitalized. Gotta get 'em somewhere, and outside of brain matter, it proves rhe left is good for something.

I sure do like the question you asked, it should be a topic of discussion everywhere.
 
Any country without socialized health care can not be considered a first world nation.
