I take issue with the notion that a national health care system is "fiscally unsustainable", that it could "collapse the U.S. economy", as a valid argument against it.
Those who would make such an ultra-myopic conjecture don't take into account the 2009 multi-billion dollar bail-out of major "too big to fail" companies, or the way this country still continues to allow non-citizens who entered this country improperly and unlawfully access the social safety nets like food stamps and Medicare/Medicaid, or the various forms of "corporate welfare" that benefit huge successful companies and institutions.
All those in charge would have to do, for example (as in the case of illegals receiving safety net benefits), is allow only U.S. citizens (who are eligible) to apply for and receive any "safety net" services provided by federal and state governments. That, all by itself, could put tens of millions of dollars back into the national till.
Now, I don't care too much for President Trump and his administration (in particular, their economic plans and the way they seem intent on doing away with the social safety nets in general)
...but I AM all in on Trump's (stated) viewpoints on the "illegal invasion" issue. Although my reasons for harboring similar sentiments on it probably differ from his.
Of course you and I both know there's no way in hell the "border wall" can ever be finished soon enough to prevent further influxes of mega-invasions of non-citizens from our neighboring continental countries just south of us (or "just south of U.S."?) with dysfunctional governments.
Now, if only the Trump administration wouldn't be so supportive of big businesses. But, being a billionaire elitist himself, one WOULD expect him to naturally take sides with those of his ilk.
But, let it be known that tax cuts for the ultra-wealthy alongside government "investment" in huge companies and institutions quite capable of financial self-sustenance on their own is also as much a fiscal threat to this nation as is giving away select government resources and revenue to unauthorized faux "resident" outsiders.
