I got into an argument last night with someone over whether or not America needs universal healthcare. I of course think it does and the chap I was arguing with thinks it doesn't His claims were that it's not economically feasible or financially viable. He also said he doesn't want to pay a little extra so scrougers off the state can get free medical aid ( conveniently forgetting the millions of Americans who don't scrouge and still can't afford health insurance). After a while he came out with a comment about Democrats and them imposing their Communistic practices on us and I realized I had spent a good hour arguing with a parrot that works for the Republican party. Go figure. :P
