Republicans are opposed because it's socialism. The same kind of socialism that drove the economies of North Korea and Soviet Russia into the ground.
This will not end well.
Honestly, the ignorance of this statement leaves me speechless. Ignoring all the other reasons, the biggest reason why this is a bogus argument is because neither Soviet Russia nor North Korea were socialist or even communist. They are/were dictatorships, pure and simple. So, before you go painting those countries with the same socialism brush, perhaps you should check what shade of political paint they are actually using under all the propaganda.
Why do people continue to think that universal health care will somehow bankrupt the nation? Look at all the other countries that have universal health care, and then try and claim that such a scheme before trying to claim that the US is somehow different.
You are correct, except that Pinyin is a terrible system to learn with. I recommend all learners of Mandarin start with Zhuyin instead. It creates a conceptual difference between your language and Chinese, and leads to better pronunciation, faster.
