    > You're ignoring the open border and only thinking about yourself.   
      
   No, I am thinking of the vast population of Americans who are suffering at the   
   hands of insurance companies and healthcare providers.  Just last year I had   
   to put out close to $19,000 to cover medical expenses (including insurance).    
   How is this right?  How is this logical?  I don't care about the border; it's   
   always been porous and this is from someone who grew up in Southern   
   California. Let's focus on the real problems in America, not some made up   
   Trump Fantasy Island.   
      
    > What about when the USA is paying for all of central america's health care?   
    > You're too old to care - but how will your kids feel about paying that bill?   
      
   Again, where in hell are you coming up with this Central America line?    
   Similar to other countries, Canada, Germany, UK, Japan, etc., their universal   
   healthcare covers citizens.  I will never be too old to care but I also   
   believe in giving a pathway to citizenship to anyone who comes across the   
   border.   
      
    > How will chemotherapy for all of central america's cancer victims become   
    > affordable for your kids? It's not like dropping a nickel in a UNICEF box.   
      
   Again, this doom and gloom line is getting old.   
      
   In 2019, the personal income of people in the United States wa approximately   
   $18.5 trillion.  So, again, let's calculate 3% on that, which is $525   
   billion.  If we can't cover every citizen in America on $525 billion a year,   
   we've got bigger issues.   
      
    > Do you think people will chose 1) Die in of cancer in Honduras (or) 2) Walk   
    > into the USA and demand that Joe Biden pay for the chemo?   
      
   Again, the line is getting old.  Where are you getting this Honduras crap?    
   Please, site a reliable source.   
      
    > Socialized health care for all Americans sounds good - socialized health   
    > care for anyone in the world (with 2 feet to walk on) sounds disasterous.   
      
   70 countries in the world offer universal healthcare including China and   
   India, the two highest populated countries in the world.  Please provide your   
   logic as well as suggestions on what they are doing wrong so that we can fix   
   it for them.
