Sigh. I am now 100% convinced that you are not right in the head. I am the reason insulin costs $800???? Where did you pull that from, dude?

"This plan will stand in the way by setting artificial prices by the folks ripping us off right now." Really, could you please explain how? Trump's bill isn't trying to set a national standard. They want each individual health care provider to provide a menu that shows how much each service costs so that patients can budget accordingly. It has nothing what-so-ever to do with Medicare now -- since that is already set pricing -- nor a future Medicare for All bill that could maybe come to fruition a minimum of 5 years down the road. What about the gap between now and then????

"Free college will train new doctors and nurses." Great, in 5 years, free college will get passed. Medical school is 8 years. So in as soon as 13 years, we'll have doctors who can afford a lower salary because they didn't have to pay for medical school. What about the gap between now and then????

I am done debating with someone who is completely unhinged from reality. I get that you have big hopes for a better future, but you cannot ignore solutions that can help NOW -- even if it is a little bit, it is SOMETHING NOW.
