Good that most people, except for the dinosaurs stuck in the 1950’s, are wanting single payer now. It’s the only logical system. It will become an even more popular idea when fewer and fewer insurance companies will be willing to provide individual and small business insurance plans, as the effect of no mandate to have insurance goes into effect and all the other things the R’s are eliminating from ACA plans take hold. All that will be left for people who don’t have employer subsidized health insurance are those ■■■■■■ skinny plans that don’t cover anything.
I have fantastic insurance now (it’s so good that after H’s retirement it will not only be free but will also pay for our Medicare premiums/prescription drug coverage after age 65.) But I don’t look at this issue from a personal perspective, because it’s not about what’s good for only me. Single payer is the only solution.
The ship is turning slowly but I’ve no doubt we will get there
Nope, have discussions often where they proclaim “tax cuts are good” like little robots, but when you ask about spending they are like… “whaaaaaa…?” as if you are speaking another language.
You tell me Sneaky, how many threads have you participated in demanding the current administration provide a spending plan to match the tax cuts they implemented?
I could actually get behind a national catastrophic plan, if I didn’t know beyond a shadow of a doubt politicians would immediately start offering to expand it to buy votes until we were all reduced to spending most of our waking hours to pay for gold plated medical coverage for all.
If that was the logical system we wouidn’t be the only industrial country to not have a single payer system and the only industrial country to have millions and millions of uninsured people.
You don’t have millenials in your family do you. They think health care should be free to them. Just go to doctor walk in in get fixed and walkout. Been studying health care since Hillary Care was a thing.
In a country the size of ours…it is too costly for single payer. There is not enough revenue into the federal government to support the astronomical cost of single payer.
It will end up being just another huge tax burden and an over regulated pile of crap.
I never miss an opportunity to complain about spending. So again, yes I am very displeased they cut taxes without cutting spending to at least help pay for it. I have written my congress people to complain about it repeatedly. What else would you like me to do? Besides voting for tax and spend democrats that is.
Oh give me a break, the republicans recently spent years pretending to care, even had a debt clock at their convention, but you give them the keys, and they reduce income and increase spending LIKE ALWAYS.
And where is the tea party? Bunch of FRAUDS!
Democrats don’t spend more, they just understand someone has to play for it.
