I know that you are denying reality. You're pretending it can be something it can't. And if you meant what you said you would be a hermit living in the wilderness 30 miles from civilization and actually be independent and self-sufficient.
www.cihi.ca/en Read it straight from the source, try not to drown in your tears. No need to apologize for your ignorance.
Your tears are your own. You have created a deliberate fallacy of false equivalency. It has been exposed as fake. It is what it is.
Not if you're "living off the land" being self sufficient. For about 6 posts now you haven't made any sense. Have you noticed that?
Cant pay property tax without dollars, cant earn dollars without income tax, cant pay income tax without contributing to healthcare. Even if I 'live off the land' (which is not what being independent means) I cant avoid your collective. Face it- you're an authoritarian.
Face it, modernpaladin: you live in a modern society, and if you are part of it, you will do your share, even if unwillingly, one way or another.
So who is this "section of the population who has no health insurance"? Is free health care not available for those who can't afford it?
Falacious. Time renders that argument void. There is no place on the planet that collectivists dont seek to control. 'Running away' is not a viable escape from The Borg.

I don't say anything that isn't backed up by facts. That's because those things are totally irrelevant, and proves you don't understand the economics of healthcare. You don't even understand Sander's plan. Sander's plan increase the HI (Medicare) Payroll Tax from 1.45% for employees to 2.2%, and from 1.45% for employer's to 6.2% None of those issues affects the cost of healthcare. What the report says -- and which you obviously cannot understand -- is that federal spending would increase by about $2.5 trillion (257.6 percent) in 2017. Federal expenditures would increase by about $32.0 trillion (232.7 percent) between 2017 and 2026. Medicaid covers it.
Word of advice don't hold up Medicaid/Medicare as a shining example of singlepayer healthcare. Doctors are dropping Medicare and even more so Medicaid at increasing rates every year.
No they don't get better. The ONLY way to get decent health care is to do what Canada does and make each state responsible for health care just like each province in Canada is responsible for health care. Medicare and Medicaid are one size fits all federal programs that suck. Why do you think they have to come up with all sort of fixes like Advantage and Medigap and the doc fix bill every single year? The best medicine is direct pay. You get higher quality care, longer visit time and the cost is half of what it is with government and insurance companies involved. Get rid of the government and insurance companies and you end up with a much better and much more affordable system.
