QUOTE ^^^ Our history of how we have treated non white people in this country is abhorrent I think most can agree. But I don't feel addressing racism with more racism is the answer. Affirmative action while good mentioned is rife with all kinds of inherent problems. As a side note, I'm gonna guess you didn't think SCOTUS was "radical" when it agreed with upholding Obamacare. It all depends on whose ox is getting gored I guess...
You're too young to remember how bad things got during the Civil Rights Movement it made BLM look like a walk in the park, it tore at the very fabric of our Society.
Affirmative Action was a product of the Civil Rights Movement, the Court should have left well enough alone. It helped reduce discrimination and promote diversity. It also create more opportunities for people who face systemic barriers or biases. It also benefited society as a whole by fostering social justice and inclusion.
Affirmative action is a policy that aims to increase the representation of historically disadvantaged groups in education, employment, or other areas. It is often based on criteria such as race, ethnicity, gender, or disability.
The Court has put US on a slippery slope!
As to Obama Care, it caved to Corporate Republican demands did little to control cost...
I'm not a Liberal I'm a Progressive, IF I HAD MY WAY we'd have a Single Payer Healthcare System like the rest of the CIVILIZED Industrial World..
Government-run healthcare can provide universal access, lower costs, better quality, more equity, and more efficiency than private market systems. It can also reduce administrative complexity, improve public health, and promote social solidarity.

^^ the only slippin’ you do is on the shit you spew.
You have to pay your debt, I did, my wife did, anyone else who signed papers for a student loan has to. Considering your intellect comrade Dick Whistle, you have nothing to worry about.
No special treatment for minorities, a meritocracy as it should be.
Thankfully, we don’t operate like Burger King and you won’t be getting it your way any time soon. Pay your own damned healthcare.

NOTHING the government has EVER run is efficient, cheaper, or better quality.
That much trust in government only leads to dependency which is exact opposite of what why we want government. While I agree with you I'd prefer a singe payer system, but not sure I want the government running it. Oversight yes, but running it? Hell no.

After we screw up health care reform, let's take on the initiative of unscrewing the education system (gov't education)

Based on my Military Service Record I qualified for VA medical treatment in a high priority group. So essentially I'm participating in a government run single payer system.
I never used the VA during my working years my Employer provided excellent insurance, problem was Insurance is a big and ever increasing expense and as an individual Employer there's little that can be done to control costs.
I still carry a supplement to my Medicare as a precaution because the VA operates at the whims of the Government.
Our current Healthcare System is a hodgepodge of robber barons paying themselves multi-million dollar compensation packages with our premiums while denying healthcare and complicating the system.

We do agree a single payer system would be the path..
A single payer healthcare system would simplify payment administration and reduce drug costs, which are major sources of savings.
A single payer healthcare system would also increase healthcare utilization by providing universal coverage, which could improve health outcomes but also raise costs.
A single payer healthcare system would likely save money over time, even in the first year of operation, according to most economic analyses. However, some studies suggest that costs could initially increase or vary depending on the design and implementation of the system.
A single payer healthcare system would have more incentive to invest in public health measures and preventive care, which could lower costs and improve outcomes.
