Medicare-For-All is now polling at 70% for all Americans, 52% for Republicans

The maximum liability doesn’t matter if you never use it.

Yes it does, as long as you have a chance of using it, and some obviously do. Like I said, their profits aren’t remotely unreasonable. They have to pay out 80% of the premiums they collect and that doesn’t count overhead and salaries. I’m paying everything out of pocket myself since Obamacare, but the fact remains, I could get hit with something catastrophic tomorrow and rack up over a million in expenses and that 12k a year would look like a pretty good bargain then.

We’re probably gonna end up with some kind of single payer thing that the people who fought for decades will end liking and accepting as normal.

Turn the page.

Of the several proposals I’ve seen to make changes to Medicare and Social Security both have excluded people over a certain age etc. and seemed rather reasonable as far as the implementation and not screwing people over. People who scream and holler about such proposals likely haven’t looked into the details.

There is the fundamental question of whether or not we should make money saving changes, but as to hurting people who have paid in for years, it ain’t gonna happen and nobody is proposing it that way. That I know of…………

My comment was sarcasm intended to call out the hypocrisy of those ON medicare objecting to a single payer system…

So are we just going to ignore that basically everyone supports Medicare for All?

I’m curious. Why isn’t universal healthcare a thing? Is it because you all think Geico doesn’t make enough money or some ■■■■■ I get it, you like the gecko.

American, tax paying Citizens, support being taxed to provide Medicare for all those who have, and are, invading our borders?

Propaganda. The side against has been winning the propaganda war, though that seems to be changing

Propaganda like your can keep you doctor and current health care plan?

The Democrat Party Leadership’s offer for free government cheese is really not free. It first addicts and then enslaves participants on an iron fisted socialist run plantation.

No, propaganda like saying it will cost far more than what we are paying now and will ruin the economy and cost people 70 percent of their pay.

As to keeping your doctor and all that, I don’t think that is really relevant since we did not do Medicare for all, we did some half measure of sorts that still used private insurance companies. It’s better than it was for low income I think for the most part. It didn’t do me any favors initially, but as I get older and am working less it’s looking better and better.

I kept my doctor and plan so what propaganda?

More and More people are coming to the idea that healthcare is a human right in America.

Which is odd because America already spend more per citizen on healthcare then countries with universal coverage.

Yup! More and more people are coming to the idea the free government cheese is a human right in America. Why do you think our borders are being invaded by the poverty stricken populations of other countries?

There was a time not too long ago in New York when the able-bodied were ashamed to accept home relief, a program created by Franklin D. Roosevelt in 1931 when he was Governor. Now, New York City and many other major cities are infested with countless government cheese factions from impoverished countries, who not only demand welfare, but use it to buy beer, wine, drugs, sex, and Lotto tickets.

So you don’t care about anyone but yourself. Got it.

What nonsense. There’s no such thing as “free cheese”. Everything is paid for either through fees, surcharges, or taxes.

Supporters for medicare-for-all endorse the concept of paying more in taxes in exchange for 99% of their health-care costs being paid for ahead of time.

And according to the polls, this is the majority of Americans, including Republicans.

Did you have a problem with the government giving subsidies to failing industries? The Trump Administration just gave out about 12 billion dollars to the manufacturing industry. Do you support that? If so, why would you support corporate cheese, but not helping out low-income families struggling to put food and health-care on the table? Seems a bit odd, if that’s your view.

So, you don’t care about government force being used to confiscate American Citizens paychecks living in our nation’s inner cities and using that revenue to provide health care to millions of foreigners who have invaded America’s borders. Got it!

The unavoidable truth is, the Bernie Sanders, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez’, Andrew Gillum and Ayanna Pressley’s socialist plan for “free” college tuition will be paid for by taxing millions of college graduates who worked for and paid their own way through college and are now trying to finance their own economic needs.

I’m sure if majority of that money is being spent on the 300 + million citizen they wont mind.
