*So you're bragging about the fact that thanks to the Libertarian Party we
now have the most anti-libertarian president in American history?  *

*If that's the key to the problem, if that's the reason that those
countries have populations that are healthier and live longer than
Americans do, then perhaps it's time for you to reconsider your total
opposition to the thing that you call "socialism".*

*That is pure unadulterated nonsense!  The ratio of Gross Government Debt
to National GDP for Japan is about twice that of the USA, and yet they can
afford universal healthcare for ALL their citizens, and as a result the
average Japanese lives to be 85 while the average American lives to be 79.
This is in spite of the fact that per capita the USA spends nearly 3
times as much on healthcare as Japan does. And it's not just Japan, there
are similar figures from dozens of other countries. There is just no
getting around the fact that when it comes to healthcare "socialism" is
MUCH more efficient then whatever you call the idiotically chaotic system
that the USA uses. **So as I said before, maybe it's time for you to
reconsider your blanket condemnation of the thing that you call
"socialism". *

*Your interpretation is dead wrong. I predicted that in three years or
less the USA would have something like Medicare for all and a tax on
billionaires and trillionaires unless AI kills us all first. I
did NOT predict it would happen because the House and Senate passed
legislation that the president then signed (although it might happen that
way) I just predicted that one way or another it would happen.*
