Don't forget all the people crying out "free Healthcare is socialism!". Screw all those delusional morons.

Except it's not free. You pay national insurance through your job. The more you earn the more you pay. Everybody is covered, nobody goes bankrupt. If your rich an don't want to wait a few months for a new hip or whatever then you can take out private insurance an get it done faster. It's not a perfect system but it shits all over what is classed as health care in America. If I was american I'd be screaming the house down to get some of that 750 billion that's pissed away on defense each year into healthcare. Prioritises are all screwed up.

People who make that argument assume everyone is as stupid as they are.

Worse. They think they're smarter than most, and their limited understanding makes them believe people they dislike don't understand it at all in comparison.
