These people are inured and averse to facts and statistics. They know what they know and they are oblivious to what they don’t know, but should. Knowing some things would take away ‘false options’ and a priori decisions. Facts are an inhibitory annoyance.
This is off topic but apropos. Beijing is experiencing another humungous dust storm, which coupled with their smog, has created intolerable conditions for breathing. The dust is from Mongolia and Western China owing to rapid desertification due to direct human impacts and Global Warming, which IS a fact.

If your goal is to provide affordable and good health care then you are simply Not a republican. Period.
Think it through.
The sicker you are, the more you’d have to pay. The sicker you are, the less likely you are to be able to work.
This proposal constitutes the pillaging of everyone’s retirement accounts. Because we’re all going to die — get very sick.
Your life’s work? Your savings? Just a big fat fund government politicians want to steal.
And no one will be safe. Their next target is Medicare.
