I'd be okay with "Free College" if you got legitimately admitted (due to good grades & test scores), maintained good grades and majored in something useful (science, engineering, medicine, etc.). However, if you just let anyone in and subsidize a 4+ year party, then forget it. Total waste of $$. And a lot of those kids would be indoctrinated as SJWs, which would make it even more of a waste and ruin them for life. And not everyone has to go to college or is smart enough to go. Lots of people could do far better by learning a trade.

We pretty much do have universal healthcare in this country. The really poor are on Medicaid, the old are on Medicare and most people have insurance. Actually the ones who are taking it in-the-ass are lower middle class or working poor who can't afford good insurance or don't have jobs that offer it. Even illegals go the ER and get treated for free (unlike actual citizens, who have to pay). The people who really get fuked over are those who have to pay $500+ for 20 pills of drug XXX because no insurance.

I would not quite say Germany or Japan won in WWII. They lost far too many people. We are still living with the echos of WWI and WWII. It may yet take down Western Europe as they seem to have lost their will to defend their countries. Japan will probably be okay if their can break their porn addiction and start fucking enough to have more kids.
The reason I say Japan and Germany won World War II is because of their status today. We built their economies to where they are current power houses. Germany is the dominate nation in the EU. The shit that Greece had to swallow, and they did it to themselves, was dictated in Berlin. Japan has been going through more of a decade of a recession, and they are doing fine. Great Britain and France pretty much lost their empires as a direct result of the war.

As for free collage, you are right if we pay for a bunch of brats who what to party. However, we need to have a well-educated population if we are going to compete in the world and I think it starts much earlier in than college. Before I am a Democrat or a Republican, I am a loyal and patriotic America.

Germany was always going to dominate Europe, it was inevitable. Their big mistake was that they tried to do it militarily vs. economically. But Europe was a very different place 100 years ago and militarism was thought of as the key to power, with economics being a very distant second. It's really too bad because I think history will find that WWI really killed Western Civilization. It's just that the patient took a while to succumb. [And in many ways, WWII was a continuation of WWI because Germany refused to accept that it had lost the first war]

The problem with most colleges these days is that they have increasingly become indoctrination centers. They should be teaching critical thinking, but they are not. The cowards in charge won't tell the SJWs to STFU.

Gee....if you get billed and don't pay, then you get treated for free. Or am I missing something? The difference? If I didn't pay, I'd be hounded to death (because I'm a responsible citizen). If they don't, the bill just magically disappears into thin air.
You hit it on the head. When an illegal doesn’t pay WE pay. The cost will be passed on to everyone. So, when the average guy go has a hospital bill from an illness or accident it can break him. To Koondogs point, we are not going to deny someone treatment because they cannot pay or prove their legal status. That would be immoral.

What else is immoral is rounding up all of the local street walkers and parading them in front of the media and putting their pictures all over TV and the internet. They should be going through drug program and not the Criminal Justice system. Raiding a massage parlor and prosecuting thing women when there is no benefit to society. Using a law meant to combat terrorism to secretly install cameras in a spa to catch guys getting happy ending and up charging the women. Most importantly all of the fuck wads who claim this is human trafficking and sex slavery when they know this is not true. That is immoral.

And they give you an option to pay monthly installments. If these are not paid the collection agency comes calling. Something tells me this applies to American citizens ONLY.
What applies to American citizens only?? What state do you live in?? Are you a Republican?? The majority of people who didn't pay hospital bills in NY from doing medical billing when i was in my early 20's was mainly white and black families.

Then when you got medicaid to pay they paid $200 on a $2500 claim. Yes some immigrants didn't pay either. How many didn't not sure. However I do know most of the people I had to bill were Caucasian and Black.

Who is this we pay?? Hospitals have been getting closed cause they can't sustain themselves. Some of you just want to hate someone so Illegals are the ones who are the flavor of the year. Shit is silly.

Hospitals can't sustain themselves? Gee wonder why? It couldn't be the hundreds of illegals coming into the ER every day for care that the hospital ends up eating the costs for, right? Nah couldn't be THAT putting a strain on the system.

It's the people who are on medicaid and Medicare both of them pay a 10th of the bill if that. It's the people who give false information to the hospitals legals and illegals. It's the hospital workers who have milked the overtime years past.

It isnt all because of the illegals. Smh, please expand your mind and stop letting Fox News tell you how this world works. Nor CNN. Both left and right are just peddling the propaganda their parties have decided to stand behind.

All this illegal talk yet you are on board that has amps that have many illegals that have overstayed their visa.

Yeah having a medicaid card is like have a million dollars in your back pocket until you die. You could go to the ER 7 days a week every week and you pay nothing. Must be nice.

As an old-school millennial Republican (Eisenhower/Reagan/Bush Sr.) this would not be a problem if we didn't have Medicaid or Medicare in the first place. Doctors should have the discretion of saving lives. If an illegal is brought in with life threatening condition, I am certain doctors will not let that patient die. The problem is we force hospitals to take in everyone even if someone walks in with something that can be treated by a general practitioner or have the hospitals liable for lawsuits. We are rationing resources this way, and people know this and abuse the system.

At the end of the day the more local the government the better since we can for ourselves determine if we are getting a good deal for what we contribute and expect from it.

Look at all the progress on poverty by spending billions in CA. There are homeless people everywhere, in every major city. In SF people shit on the sidewalks. No progress, just more homeless people.
This is where Liberals have it wrong. You can't keep throwing money at a bad situation and expect to fix it that way.

If something doesn't work try something else. California is as left as it gets and they are always near bankrupt.
