What's cheaper is not spending my money on a Mercedes for everyone on the block
Mercedes - luxury brand that you pay more for and receive lower quality parts and service. That's the healthcare system you already pay for.
But we can pretend they are a good brand for your sake.
The "Mercedes" in this case costs as much as a Toyota Corolla beside everyone chips in.
Veterans could also get a "Mercedes". Your children, your relatives, could each get the "Mercedes".
Your main argument for paying more money is that you don't want to help people. You're paying many times more money for similar or worse services for no reason other than to deprive others.
Please stop arguing with cars 3:
just use healthcare dudes. It's already present in both countries. no need to use analogies or metaphors. i ain't gonna force either of you, but using these arguments isn't going to get either of you anywhere productive.
Hahaha, I love that out of the thread though, the car metaphors are what got to you.
I mean other stuff did as well, but it's all within the rules.
