Ah, so the system YOU would invent would have doctors working for nothing, nurses zero pay, hospitals built by volunteers, major corporations giving away MRI machines, X ray's, Ultrasound, so nobody would have to ever pay anything for meds or surgeries. Wow.

So I'm not sure what you've been smoking to say something like this.
Ready to stop lying yet?
You really think those in Congress receive the same health care as you or I or this poor soul in the article if it were not for the GOP?

However, just like everyone pays for your army, having everyone pay for your health service makes it free at the point of delivery.
Europe does not pay for the US forces in Europe that allows Western Europe to have smaller budgets so they can spend money in other places.
Another way that Europe aucks from the US tit is military bases. We need to bring those bases back to the US so we can pump more money into the US economy.
In any case free medical was espoused and I wanted to throw my hat in the ring for supporting free medical for all people.

Three Western European countries in the top 10. Add all EU countries, or all NATO members bar the U.S. together and they easily make it to second place. The notion that the U.S. is "paying for" the military of Europe is a ludicrous myth.
The military bases that the U.S. operates are completely insignificant for national economies. The notion that these economies are somehow being driven by U.S. military bases is a ludicrous myth.
Most European health care systems are both cheaper and better than the U.S. health care system. The notion that the U.S. is somehow "paying for" these health care systems is a ludicrous myth. If they adopted a copy of the U.S. health care system, they'd spend more, not less on health care, with worse results.

There are very few Europeans who want your bloody bases here.

Yes, they are mandated to select their policies from those available through the ACA. There is language in the ACA that members of Congress and their congressional staff are required to follow the mandates of the ACA. Under both Republican proposals, this is not the case.

You clearly don't believe God exists or you wouldn't make statements of that nature. (an existing God would not be too pleased with your sentiment)

Non Christians are such great sources when it comes to explaining the nature of God.
