Franken has pleasantly surprised me with his astute take on issues. He is well-versed in the most critical issues facing us. It would serve us and the country well to listen, something for which many have no skill.

I don’t think that he was being dishonest. His point was that universal healthcare can prevent these things. For that he is correct. Now, we can argue if that is something that Americans desire or not but his argument was solid. IMHO.

Thanks.

There were zero medical bankruptcies in the old Soviet Union, in Communist China and in a lot of other totalitarian countries that could be named.

So what?

If Franken were so smart, he wouldn’t pull facts out of context. (Or maybe I should say ‘if Franken was a bit more honest’)
