Really? Pot calling the kettle black. Universal Healthcare means the government will be in charge of your healthcare. See Canada for reference.

How am I the pot calling the kettle black? I don't lash out at people for disagreeing with me unlike you. Not all universal healthcare systems are bad, European systems are much better than Canada and most healthcare systems are "multi-payer" rather than single-payer. Single-payer means all funded by the government but almost all the healthcare systems in Europe are multi-payer, both government funded and private insurance companies and healthcare providers exist and all these systems are run in their own different ways. Switzerland for example has a lot of private providers and insurers. The fact that you very narrow mindedly think all universal healthcare systems are bad and you only like ideas of unfettered libertarian anarcho capitalism like Javier Milei's Argentina only proves the point of my meme.

You saying conservatives don’t want to discuss in the free market of ideas.

Not true. Discussion from the left tends to be irrational. Not necessarily you.

I’m willing to have discussion with anyone. Yet it tends to digress into name calling.

I read what you said about healthcare. It may work yet I don’t trust our government to work in our best interests.

First of all, I'm not a leftist, I'm someone who knows that not everything is a right vs left partisan issue. In fact I actually used to side with conservatives and was disgusted at the left for lashing out at people for not believing there are 1000+ genders and I viewed the left as petty tyrants who want to force to people to support LGBTQ+ ideology and conservatives as the reasonable the ones who defend free speech, individual freedom and political civility until I had them lash out at me for having stances they don't agree with even though my stances were reasonable and not far-left. I used to side with libertarians and agree with their ideas of limited government and getting rid of unnecessary government regulations but I later realized government issues are the only things that affect one's individual freedom, private sector issues such as employers not paying their workers enough and landlords rent gouging and trying to evict their tenants at whim. I learned thos after I was badly screwed over by people I did hours of thankless work for amd landlords who tried to evict me at whim even though I wasn't in rent arrears. I thought conservatives and libertarians would be reasonable enough to listen to me when I would address such issues that affect one's individual freedom but unfortunately they would be extremely shitty to me, calling me all sorts of horrible things such as "communist", "socialist thief", "economically illiterate, "anti-freedom" and even "retarded" and even make Pinochet helicopter "jokes" at me even though I don't adhere to extremist ideologies like Marxism or even "democratic socialism", they were being just as bad faith as any leftist I've ever debated who calls everyone to the right of Karl Marx a "nazi". I thought that libertarians were merely for getting rid of unnecessary big government and be reasonable enough to recognize when certain government regulations are necessary but they would come with a very unnuanced viewpoint of thinking getting rid of all government regulations and letting the free market handle everything is the solution to everything and think the basic worker and consumer protection I am for is unnecessary big government and even "socialism".
