It would be nice if it were that simple everywhere but it isn't. Bernie had it right with health care. We can't (or at least I can't) argue that poor people and people with pre-existing diseases shouldn't be able to get health care. I think they should, I agree with Bernie. With that said, you also can't force that on companies that, the only reason they ever got into the business, was to be able to gamble on the same principles that all insurance companies in the US work on, so I don't know how it will play out in the US. For example an insurance company wouldn't sell fire insurance to someone on fire because it's guaranteed they would lose before money hits the table. Health care needs to be handled by government as far as I can see and everyone needs to be covered or the alternate is what exactly?
However if you take things to the point of free food and utilities how Jill Stein wants, that, I think is "too far" because I can tell you FOR SHIT SURE that there are tons of people out there in the US who will never work if they are given free food. And most people have to work for society to work. So the answer is not in 100%s like Johnson or Stein. Additionally Johnson doesn't have a strong enough personality to lead the US. But I do like him (and Stein). They deserve positions but not president.
