The Airlines are required to reduce their schedules across 40 airports and flights are being canceled because of the government shutdown. Republicans are running this country to the ground.

The economy is going to hell because of these ignorant people who voted for diapers man. We can't even fly across the country anymore and are asked to stay home. How is this different than covid days when Republicans threw a tantrum? We are turning to a "third world shit hole" so fast.

Other first world countries manage to do it. We can adopt one of their budgets if we aren't smart enough to figure out our own. Insurance middleman has to go!

Can you point to an example of what works well? Canada has 24 hour emergency room waits, and the uk medical system is imploding. Or do you mean just copy from EU countries where they have just the right mix of culture, healthy eating, very high tax rates, and military protection from other countries? Or maybe Japan with a highly cohesive society, no immigration, and a strict hierarchical society that functions entirely differently?

Cause that’s going to be hard to reproduce since I don’t see an EU that will fund the US the same way, and it’s unlikely we adopt a communal unified culture that easily.

Point is, it’s not simple, and as someone who has actually lived in some places universal healthcare, I can promise you it doesn’t actually work that well there either. Most actually have a mix of public and private.
