[QUOTE="Buck Randall, post: 1618214, member: 38590"] I'm not a Sanders fan, but I don't disagree with much of his platform. I just think he's too ambitious and will turn a lot of people off. The constitution doesn't guarantee any of those things, but the beauty of the document is that it can be amended as the American people see fit. I personally think universal healthcare is a good investment. Right now, we turn people away for preventative care, but then take them in to emergency rooms when they're on death's door (and those of us who can afford to pay end up subsidizing those who can't). Any cattleman should be familiar with the fact that it's cheaper to pay for prevention than for emergency service. We already have lots of "free stuff" in this country. Public schools, medicare, roads, etc. We pay for it with our taxes because it benefits the public good. For the most part, these services are all extremely popular and successful. In general, it's just cheaper to take care of people than to let them fall into poverty and deal with the crime that results. [/QUOTE]
