This is the ultimate midwit healthcare take. No, 32 countries have not “figured out” universal healthcare. The UK has “free” healthcare, and roughly 1 in 3 cancer patients in England still fail to start treatment within 62 days of urgent referral. Canada has “free” healthcare, and the median wait for neurosurgical treatment is around a year. Australia has “free” healthcare, and over half the country still buys private insurance despite paying for a public universal system with their taxes. Switzerland has universal coverage, because residents are required to buy private insurance. There is no government system where benevolent bureaucrats tuck you in at night with a warm blanket and an MRI appointment. The actual lesson from other wealthy countries is not “they figured it out.” America’s system has huge problems. Our prices are insane, insurance markets are distorted, and hospital systems are cartelized. Our regulations make care more expensive than it needs to be. Yet we still guarantee access to even the 8% who don’t have coverage. We give easy routes to qualify for medicaid for those with disabilities. Pretending the rest of the world solved healthcare because they slapped the word “universal” on a rationing scheme is not analysis. It is bumper sticker policy for people who think access means having a card in your wallet while you wait a year to see the doctor you need.

@Chasten Did you or Pete wear the tits? I forgot.

The same Duffys who threw endless fits on national television when Pete was working from our son's ICU bedside are now bragging about their multi-month, taxpayer-funded family road trip while gas and grocery prices soar for American families because of Trump's war of choice. How much more unfocused, unserious, and out of touch can you be?

@elonmusk Ever notice how miserable the advocates for taxing the rich appear? They wear their envy on their face and are never happy. They have no solutions or real joy in their lives…Just self created problems.

@DefiantLs Proof she’s a liar or our educational system is failing/corrupt. You pick.

AOC: "The American Revolution was against the billionaires of their time"

@CedarStResearch @ZohranKMamdani We know he’s a charlatan, but what eats me up is the yahoos who punched their ballots for him. Systemic idiotism in our education system.

This moron @ZohranKMamdani has no clue people don’t go to NYC because it’s the shipping capital of the world, they go because for the longest time it was the finance capital of the world. It’s like watching a kid in college be told by his teacher he’s failing and the kid telling him he will pass because the system is broken. It’s brain drain at its finest..

@MikeNellis You mean the one Pocanhantas scalped?

Multiple airlines are on the verge of bankruptcy. Airports are an absolute disaster, yet the transportation secretary had time to shoot a reality show in his first year on the job. These people are parodies of themselves. You can’t make this shit up.

@BillKristol Abolish ICE? That’s a beauty…Up there with Defund the Police.

Abolish ICE.

@GunnelsWarren @TiffMoodNukes You don’t think enough.

Elon Musk spent $290 million to elect Trump. Musk got $512 billion richer since Trump was elected & is now worth $815 billion. He wants to cut Social Security and Medicare by $500-$700 billion a year. You’re not angry enough.

@coldxman And the muppet mindlessly agreeing….🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️

Someone should ask AOC if Beyoncé earned her billion

@angeldadjoe @GovPritzker Joe, stay after it. Our hearts bleed for your daughter and hurt that politicians like Pritzker protect evil.

My goodness! Someone help me understand this? .@GovPritzker You always seem ready to speak out, hold press conferences, and show public compassion—unless it involves Katie. My daughter was killed under policies you defend, and you still refuse to answer me or even acknowledge her publicly. Why?

@mattvanswol @harryjsisson So glad you’re swinging back at the BS. Ty

@harryjsisson Brother... This is an actual district in Chicago.

If Virginia can’t have their maps, then other blue states need to step up. Eliminate all of the Republican seats like they’re doing to us.

@nickshirleyy @foxnewspolitics “When you see that men get richer by graft and by pull than by work, and your laws don’t protect you against them, but protect them against you - When you see corruption being rewarded and honesty becoming a self-sacrifice - You may know that your society is doomed.” - Ayn Rand

@foxnewspolitics To people who ask why there aren’t more arrests or what’s happening with the fraud in Minnesota.... Minnesota is protecting the fraudsters because they are IN ON the fraud.

NO JAIL: Minnesota fraudster cuts plea deal in $11M Medicaid scheme after agreeing to help find fugitive co-defendant. foxnews.com/politics/minne…

@jonathan_b46 Yep, miss on revs and investment income. This is a frustrating hold.

Sign me up. He gets it.

Dear Senator Sanders, Oh, this is RICH. This is so perfectly, exquisitely, weapons-grade rich that I had to put down my anatomy exams and just... appreciate it for a moment. The man who got thrown out of a SOCIALIST HIPPIE COMMUNE in Vermont in 1971 — after THREE DAYS — for refusing to do any actual work while everyone else planted, harvested, and hauled water, is out here telling me the OLIGARCHS want to control everything. Three. Days. The communists gave you a longer trial period than most employers give to someone who steals from the register. Here is what Jim Quinn's Law Number Two says, and I want every single person reading this to tattoo it somewhere useful: "If you want to know what liberals are up to, pay attention to what they accuse conservatives of doing." Senator, you OWN THREE HOMES. A Burlington residence. A D.C. townhouse. A $575,000 vacation lake house in North Hero, Vermont — purchased in 2016, the same year you were touring the country telling college students the system is rigged. Your net worth sits somewhere between $2.5 and $3 million. You have pocketed over $2.5 MILLION in book royalties since 2011. That elevator is clearly not stuck between floors for you, is it. And then — THEN — during your "Fighting Oligarchy Tour" with AOC, you spent over $550,000 in CAMPAIGN FUNDS on PRIVATE JET TRAVEL. Half a million dollars on luxury jets to lecture working Americans about the dangers of wealth. When Fox News caught you boarding a Bombardier Challenger 604 — a jet that runs up to $15,000 PER HOUR — you did not apologize. You did not even blink. You looked directly into the camera and said, and I am quoting this verbatim because it is the most accidentally honest thing you have ever said: "You think I'm gonna be sitting on a waiting line at United?" Senator. THAT IS OLIGARCHIC THINKING. That is TEXTBOOK "the rules apply to you people, not to me." That is the elevator music of every single billionaire you have spent 35 years pretending to oppose. In a battle of wits with your own stated beliefs, you showed up completely unarmed. Thirty-five years in Congress. You know what your personal legislative output looks like? Eight bills passed. EIGHT. In three and a half DECADES. That works out to 0.23 bills per year. I have produced more graded anatomy exams in a single semester. Your two greatest solo legislative achievements — the ones with your name on top, the thing YOU actually DID — are the naming of a post office in Danville, Vermont, and the naming of a post office in Fair Haven, Vermont. You named. Two. Post offices. You are as useful as a screen door on a submarine when it comes to actually passing legislation, but you want me to believe you are the vanguard of the working class. That sounds like a YOU problem. Quinn's Law #25: "Liberals are great at giving away other people's money." You have been living PROOF of that law for 35 years. You give away everyone else's money — from a vacation home on a lake — while spending half a million on jets because you are far too important to wait in line with the taxpayers funding your lifestyle. You want to talk about oligarchs controlling the media? You have been IN the media for four decades. You just finished a $75 million documentary. You have a book deal. You have a podcast. You HAVE the megaphone and you are using it to tell people that other people have the megaphone. The gene pool really needed a lifeguard for THAT particular reasoning. I am a high school science teacher in Northeast Ohio. I support a family of six on a teacher's salary. I am not particularly impressed by a man with three houses, $550,000 in jet receipts, and 0.23 bills per year telling me he stands with the working class. More famous than wise, Senator. More famous than wise. The hippie commune knew it in 72 hours. How long is it going to take everyone else? IF you agree: LIKE this post so the algorithm shows it to people who need to read it. SHARE this. COMMENT below — do YOU think a man with three homes and a half-million dollar private jet habit speaks for working Americans? Tell me. And if you want MORE of this — the data, the history, the science, the stories — JOIN Bski's Classroom community on X or YouTube. But what do I know — I am only a science teacher who can actually do math, a retired Army combat medic who knows what genuine sacrifice looks like, and apparently one of the few people left who finds it suspicious that the most vocal enemy of oligarchy just cannot bring himself to wait in line at the airport with the rest of us. @JoJoFromJerz @GuntherEagleman @catturd2 #MAGA #Veterans #Trump

@CliffordAsness It’s also why the Left is comfortable keeping their constituents reading below level…They’ll never see this book.

In Atlas Shrugged they passed laws to stop businessmen from quitting. Just saying.

@CliffordAsness You know they either never read it or hate it.

Spiking fuel prices from Trump’s war was the nail in the coffin for twice-bankrupted Spirit airline. FWIW, JetBlue merger failed because a judge, appointed by Ronald Reagan, said the deal was illegal. Republicans are desperate to shift blame from higher costs hitting families.

@RayDonovanII @VickieforNYC Evidence those cities education systems are indoctrinating instead of teaching.

Zohran Mamdani (NYC) Brandon Johnson (Chicago) Katie Wilson (Seattle) Michelle Wu (Boston) Karen Bass (LA) All socialists. All destroying once great American cities. When will people wake up? Our country is worth saving. 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

@GovKathyHochul Hey Gov, where’s the fury on your constituents murdered, assaulted and robbed by illegal immigrants let in under the Biden admin?

Renée Good was murdered by a federal agent. Reassigning Jonathan Ross is not accountability. If he’s in New York, he must be removed immediately.
