The distrust of government on the left and right, and the controversies, cost, coverages, centralized management and databases along with the unreachable goal of a level playing field for access would present far too many hurdles for Bernie to ever deliver on single payer.

Incremental steps are the only way to go and I think Hillary could do that.better.

Imagine no health programs

It's easy if you try

Nothing when sick will pay for,

Just congressmen who shout "you lie!"

Imagine all sick people

Lying in the street, woo hoo hoo hoo

You may say I hate DREAMers

And I probly own a gun

But if we stop libs from leaking

Then the US will again be strong.

Thank you, thank you...

Actually, as I review the logic, I do see one way out of the reductio. If there are no universal health care advocates or no Snowden worshippers then there is no contradiction. So to make it a true reductio, we'd have to add premises stating that both exist.

I understand now. Allow me to add some logical rigor for the philosophers in the audience. Ahem.

Part 1:

1. All Sanders supporters wanna universal health care

2. All Sanders supporters worship Snowden

Ergo, all universal health advocates (aka iWannas) worship Snowden

Part 2:

1. All Snowden worshippers support undecryptable iPhones

2. All undecryptable iPhone advocates oppose federal access to health data

3. Universal healthcare provides health data to the feds

Ergo, all Snowden worshippers oppose universal health care

Aha! Reductio ad absurdum. There's no way that those silly iWannas can possibly escape such relentless logic. Makes total sense. I can't believe that I didn't get this when I read your comment the first time.

PS What do you call someone who used to want universal health care in 1991 when Hillary was for it but doesn't want it 2016 when Hillary is against it? iUsedToWannaButDonnaWannaAnyMora?

Tim Cook is a hero to the Edward Snowden worshippers of the left because they believe his refusal of a court order is protecting them from a rapacious untrustworthy executive and rubber stamp judicial branch (that is 2 out of 3 of our branches of government.)

Cook claims if Apple opens a 'back-door' for the FBI for this one dead terrorist iPhone (and Obama says the request is not a back-door) a billion people will have their lives, conversations, data, privacy and lives trampled by jack booted thugs of this and other governments, and the security of the world will go down the toilet.

It's a non-sequitur to speculate that the same iWanna's will be aghast at the potential databases, decisions, privacy issues involved in a national government run/paid for health care and education system?

And perhaps all the iWanna's have thought about so far is it's free, and that sounds real good?

Is there a Dayly line of the Day award for epic non-sequiturs?
