[…] “I think my generation just wants to know if an idea is good,” the mayor continued. “Asserting that an idea is socialist, which by the way is something they did even for basically conservative, market-oriented ideas like Obamacare—that spell cannot be cast on our generation, because we don’t live in a time when you have capitalism and democracy on one side and socialism and communism on the other.”
On Sunday, Buttigieg touted his support for a single-payer health care system during an interview on ABC’s “This Week” with host George Stephanopoulos.
“You’re for a single-payer system, aren’t you?” Stephanopoulos asked.
“I think so. I think that’s the right place for us to head as a country, and we can debate the finer points of how to get there,” Buttigieg said. “I studied in the U.K., where there is not only single payer, but nationalized medicine, which we’re not calling for even there. There is a role for the private sector. I just don’t believe that leaving Americans to the tender mercies of corporations is the best way to organize the health sector in this country.” – the rest is here
You first sissy boy!
The rich pay for the poor, the competent pay for the incompetent, the healthy pay for the sick, from each according to his ability to each according to his needs… Sounds like COMMUNISM to me so quit calling it “socialism”.
“Obamacare Is a ‘Conservative, Market-Oriented’ Concept”
Hmmm… I don’t see what the problem is with that statement
“Market oriented” ideas either survive or fail on their own merit or lack of merit, they don’t force people into using them.
Which suggests that Obamacare may not be in that category.
True dat.
The tree of liberty has been so parched… for so many generations… that it’ll require a deluge just to put out the smouldering stump.
Yeah, if we just kill a few hundred million of our people, the rest can get everything for free.

From your fingertips to Kali’s ear.

“Communism” is communalism from the barrel of a gun.
“Socialism” is communalism from the ballot box.
How many “duly elected” Socialists have disarmed their shiny, new (and improved) governments?
Seriously?
Communism, Socialism, Progressivism, Maoism, National Socialism, Soviet Socialism, Fascism, izlamism – all the same thing with a different moniker to sell it to a gullible mass, depending on the depth of their mal-education.
A tiny group of murderous fanatics hold sway over large populations through intimidation, terror, murder, ostracism, starvation, propaganda, lies, and whatever else comes to mind. They attempt to muddy the waters of understanding by pretending that there are differences in abject slavery – but they all insist that you become their slaves. The path always leads to the same destination – rejection of God, elevation of Party (with a single Dictator) to replace God, and Hell on Earth.

Single-Payer Health Care: America Already Has It

Chance- My dad always says that.
There have been at least 3 times where my dad was waiting 5 to 6 hours at the VA for his doctor’s appointment only to find out that the doctor left for the day. Not to mention running out of his prescriptions and not having them redone on time.
ALL this trouble in the VA system is bad enough without illegal aliens involved. Now imagine the VA system WITH illegal aliens!
This clown’s the mayor of South Bend? They can have him.
I used to do some work up there – apart from Notre Dame the place is a sh*thole.
If he wants to scale that up to a national scale, he’ll have to get in line behind Booker/Harris/Sanders/Clinton/Ocasio-Cortez/Maduro/all the other socialists…
And NO, the rest of Indiana doesn’t want this fool anywhere outside of SB.
