The problem with the system was the system.

. . . That's just fucking facile.

That's like saying "the problem with crime is that it's crime". You either being deliberately obtuse, or you really didn't understand what I meant when I said without throwing out the whole system. I mean you could tweak it and get some very positive results without going overboard and just going down a different route entirely.

such as? the number of tweaks we'd need to make would result in a new system.

That's an issue of semantics more than anything else, but I was thinking of things like allowing insurers to compete across state lines, reducing/abolishing the health insurance deductible, tweaking Medicaid would probably be a good idea too.

Health insurance rates have actually been growing pretty slowly since 2006. The UK has had the fasting growing healthcare costs for some time; the US nose-dived in '02 before dropping below the OECD average in 2006 and stabilising there by around 2010. If Medicare hadn't cut its rates, either, then health insurance costs would've fallen last year (indeed, they did when you control for consumption). Most of the rising costs in the 80s and 90s were associated with technology booms. ACA did a good job of expanding coverage and halving maximum out-of-pocket costs, but it won't do much for overall costs.

But healthcare isn't exactly my favourite area in economics, and I don't know as much as I should, so y'know pinch of salt and all that.

Why would any black person ever run republican?

Some things the republicans stand for (or at least classic ones) isn't too bad, such as eliminating Affirmative Action.

The voter ID law isn't bad either if you put aside the sudden leftist "IT'S STOPPING BLACKS! RACIST!" thing. Though that's not "old republicans" really.

I didn't answer your question, forgive me.

This is why I had to leave the party my man. I went from voting for Romney to wanting to give Hillary a shot. I didn't think Trump was seriuos with this but regardless people seem to want him to win. 😐

It's just a response to recent speeches. Historically he's been at the bottom for the past two years.

I'm still hoping to see Kasich at the top, or a Bush/Rubio ticket.

aREALgod · July 18, 2015, 12:12:25 PM

I hope Trump wins. I'd rather have him in office than a politician.

Also what website is this coming from?

http://elections.huffingtonpost.com/pollster/2016-national-gop-primary#!selectedpoll=22400

I use this since it has various recent individual polls as well as the average. It's updated every time a new one is released.
