re: Black and white as always
Because like you say we've been over this before and you know as well as anyone else that a great many of the costs we currently have go away in a universal system.
I gave you a number--3.6 times the cost of the war in Iraq for only 90 million Americans, not 300 million--based on the per capita medical costs of a nation that already HAS this beloved national health care. Did you bother to integrate that before you made the above statement?
"Black and white" is a term used by those who prefer fog, emotion, and imprecision in discussion. It lets them get away with things, and avoid unpleasant facts.
