SOCIALISM! Why did Trump pick a Government-run Hospital ???

Jack said:
Not really the point of the Topic. Of all the Hospitals, Trump went to a Government funded Hospital, with Government paid Doctors and Nurses. And ... probably is NOT worried about getting a Medical Bill.

You could look at it this way, Jack. Walter Reed is a military hospital, and Trump is the commander-in-chief.

In just a few weeks, you will have the opportunity to vote him out of office. Then you can ask why decrepit Joe will be taken to Walter Reed.

Walter Reed is a Government owned Hospital.

WTF! Not only is the Hospital owned by the Government ... the Doctors and Nurses are PAID by the Government.
This is like the National Health Service in Britain, except ... it's only available to the Government.

QUESTION: If it's good enough for Trump, should it be good enough for the rest of us?

He didn't feel he was very sick. Especially to have picked Walter Reed of all places.

You are sealioning.


Sealioning
A subtle form of trolling involving "bad-faith" questions. You disingenuously frame your conversation as a sincere request to be enlightened, placing the burden of educating you entirely on the other party. If your bait is successful, the other party may engage, painstakingly laying out their logic and evidence in the false hope of helping someone learn. In fact you are attempting to harass or waste the time of the other party, and have no intention of truly entertaining their point of view. Instead, you react to each piece of information by misinterpreting it or requesting further clarification, ad nauseum. The name "sea-lioning" comes from a Wondermark comic strip.
I spent five minutes asking polite questions, sealioning him into hours of writing until he got exasperated and told me to fuck off.

If a 'socialized' Hospital is good enough for Trump (or Biden), shouldn't it be good enough for the rest of us?

Wrong.
Althea is pointing out that Presidents (and Prime Ministers) go to Government funded Hospitals. So ... "They can't possibly have top notch care." is being debunked.

It is a military hospital, and Trump is the commander-in-chief. We have covered this, Jack. I will ask you the same question; where should he have been taken?
 
Controlled Opposition said:
Where do you think he should have been taken? Why should he have been treated differently than other presidents?

I have no problem that Trump (along with Boris Johnson) were taken to Government funded Hospitals and treated by Government paid Doctors and Nurses.
Why not for everybody else is my Question.

For one thing, this is not Europe. American presidents go to Walter Reed, which has facilities for Presidents, Secret Service and such.

We've covered everything, Jack. Perhaps you should write to your Congress-critters,

I believe I've answered this. Trump (and Boris Johnson) both went to Government funded Hospitals. This should be a Recommendation for 'socialized' Medicine. They recognize this in Britain, here, we try and keep it a secret.

We're on a 'Political Forum' discussing 'socialized' medicine.

Look who is sealioning now. I'm all for universal health care. Congress doesn't want it, just as Trump doesn't want it, and just as Joe Biden doesn't want it.

:laugh: No 'sealioning'.

Boris Johnson went to the 'socialized' British NHS for treatment, survived, and thanked the NHS for 'saving his life'. The British have had NHS for 72 years, so it seems to be working.
Donald Trump went to a 'socialized' Hospital, survived, and thanked Walter Reed. But ... here in America, ironically, socialized' Medicine is demonized.
So ... this is an opportunity to re-think 'socialized' Medicine for America.

C.O.: "For one thing, this is not Europe. American presidents go to Walter Reed, which has facilities for Presidents, Secret Service and such. We've covered everything, Jack. Perhaps you should write to your Congress-critters,"
Jack: Telling me 'We're not in Europe' and to 'Write my congressman' isn't really a 'discussion'. (Unless you went to Trump University) :(
 
Why? Because Trump is the President and Commander and Chief of the military. That means he went to a military hospital for treatment as C in C. It is also easier to send him to that hospital as it is fitted for the President to be received and be able to continue his duties while there. That's why.

So you don't oppose Government funded Hospitals and/or Government paid Doctors and Nurses.
