Questions for Democrats

I'm looking at buying a small vacation home in Costa Rica that would double as a getaway place in case hard core progressives, like Bernie Sanders, someday put us on the road to serfdom. I'm comfortable with people like Hillary Clinton though. As such I'm trying to get into the Democrat mind.

Assuming Trump is the candidate in 2020, do you think the Democratic Party is likely to nominate someone who's middle of the road like Joe Biden who would be the odds on favorite to win? Or will they step out on a limb and nominate someone who's truly progressive like Bernie Sanders?

Second question, Pelosi and other Democratic House leadership have agreed they will let new people have the reins in four to six years. Do you believe the up and coming Democratic leaders, and also the new Democratic blood in Congress, are a lot more progressive than Pelosi et al?

Check out their form of health care and how much they spend on their military.

Their government heath ca are sucks and the Costa Ricans hate it.
Living in Costa Rica is no bargain either.

Try Nicaragua

Ah TM - the self-appointed authority on all things DPST

The people of Costa Rica must love their healthcare system because You said so!!
Ah, Yeah.
Of course - no difference of opinion from Your ideology could possibly be tolerated or correct.

So they hate it like dl says?
Since you post no examples, you must not have a clue.
On the other hand, I know several people that have gone there for dental and eye work.

Looks like the "eyes" have it.

Besides the DL advice sucked. Hes been living in a cave in the mountains for 50 years. He obviously doesn't know anything about Central America

Quality of care

An isolated incident - more representative of lower standards of care in Mexico and Central America
I care not about your opinion of what I know.



That opinion from someone who claims to know what women think.

I don't know about the healthcare service in Costa Rica, but I've been there several times and many Americans travel there to get various health related services. Much less expensive than the U.S. and high quality.

I have friends who live in Nicaragua and I would never live there. Too 3rd world, and like themystic says, not very stable at this time. Costa Rica is much more similar to living here.

But to try to answer Tiny's questions. I hope Bernie Sanders is not the Democratic candidate. Joe Biden wouldn't be bad but he's older than Trump. Still more than a year before the 2020 campaign and I expect one of the lesser expected candidates to emerge from the pack, much as Trump did.

No answer to your 2nd question.

Our US healthcare is far superior, unless you're a a poor motherfucker who doesn't produce enough economic value to afford health care.

Another reason to import rich immigrants and not broke losers.

4 to 6 years is a lifetime away in today's world. Yes they are way more progressive. They are the opposite side of the same coin, the modern day Republican

Yes, the U.S. health care is superior to that found in any other country in the world in my opinion. However, there are health services offered in other countries that are just as good as those offered in countries like Costa Rica at a ridiculously low cost. My wife and I were in Thailand a few years ago and she broke her shoulder and had surgery. The cost was a fraction of what it would have been in the U.S. and the doctor back in the U.S. said the surgery was done perfectly.
