Medicare for all means raiding the Medicare Trust Fund to finance Medicaid for all

.

SEE: ‘Medicare for All’ Is Really ‘Medicaid for All’

”I hear conservatives using that term too. They should stop immediately! Not only is using the opposition’s lexicon a stupid political mistake, but a close look at Sanders’s bill (S-1804, “The Medicare for All Act of 2017”) shows that it has much more in common with Medicaid — the health-insurance welfare program for the poor — than it does Medicare so beloved by seniors:”

If the Democrat Leadership gets its way, they will raid the seniors Medicare Trust Fund which seniors paid into, and use the funds to provide a welfare type health care system for all.

Seniors had better wake up to the tricks of the Democrat Party Leadership.

Let us not forget it was Nancy Pelosi who SAID about Obamacare: “We have to pass the Bill so that you can find out what is in it” ___ Voting democratic will make her Speaker of the House

President Trump warns Democrat’s health care proposal will hurt Seniors! See: Democrats ‘Medicare for All’ plan will demolish promises to seniors

“I also made a solemn promise to our great seniors to protect Medicare. That is why I am fighting so hard against the Democrats’ plan that would eviscerate Medicare. Democrats have already harmed seniors by slashing Medicare by more than $800 billion over 10 years to pay for Obamacare. Likewise, Democrats would gut Medicare with their planned government takeover of American health care”.

The bottom line is, if Democrats take control over Congress, they will loot the Senior’s Medicare Trust Fund to provide what amounts to be Medicaid for all, not Medicare for all.

Forewarned is forearmed.

President Trump has your back and he needs a Republican controlled Congress to stop the dirty tricks of the Democrat Party Leadership.

American citizens are sick and tired of being made into tax-slaves to finance a maternity ward for the poverty stricken populations of other countries who invade America’s borders to give birth.

Seniors will be harmed by expanding medicare to all. Ignorance is strength!

See Why ‘Medicare for all’ means deadly trouble for seniors

August 8, 2017

”Senators took the first step last week, announcing a bill to expand Medicare for people age 55 and up. Boomers beware. These schemes will push people 65 and older to the back of the line for health care.

It’s already happening in the United Kingdom, where the government-run health-care system is rationing treatment for Boomers, with deadly results. Faced with a budget crisis, Britain’s National Health Service is limiting the procedures seniors need most: hip and knee replacements, cataract operations, angioplasty and colonoscopies. It’s a preview of what American Boomers can expect under a “Medicare for all” system.”

Now, just imagine if the Democrat Leadership gets what it wants and expands Medicare to all, do you really think seniors will be able to compete with the newly born and children for the limited heath care resources which Medicare for all will bring?

Seniors had better wake up and smell the coffee ___ it is being poisoned by the Democrat Party Leadership.

American citizens are sick and tired of being made into tax-slaves to finance the economic needs of millions of poverty stricken, poorly educated, low and unskilled aliens who have invaded America’s borders.

So you are really arguing for free cheese for the boomers, who, on average,get much, much more in medicare benefits than they contributed…

Oh, it’s ok. So long as they have the power to tax, they can fund anything they create, right?

Reagan: 1964:

But we’re against those entrusted with this program when they practice deception regarding its fiscal shortcomings, when they charge that any criticism of the program means that we want to end payments to those people who depend on them for a livelihood. They’ve called it “insurance” to us in a hundred million pieces of literature. But then they appeared before the Supreme Court and they testified it was a welfare program. They only use the term “insurance” to sell it to the people. And they said Social Security dues are a tax for the general use of the government, and the government has used that tax. There is no fund, because Robert Byers, the actuarial head, appeared before a congressional committee and admitted that Social Security as of this moment is 298 billion dollars in the hole. But he said there should be no cause for worry because as long as they have the power to tax, they could always take away from the people whatever they needed to bail them out of trouble. And they’re doing just that.

Medicaid is the free cheese health-care program. Medicare provides health care to the elderly who have funded it all their lives through payroll taxes.

The Democrat Party Leadership wants to raid the Medicare Trust Fund to finance a Medicaid free cheese health-care program for all.

The average Medicare recipient receives far more in benefits then what they contributed, it’s free cheese.

Medicaid is free cheese. Stop making stuff up. Seniors have paid payroll taxes all their lives which funds the Medicare Trust Fund. Medicaid is a welfare program which gives free cheese, even to illegal entrants.

The Democrat Party Leadership wants to raid the senior’s Medicare Trust Fund and use it to provide free health care to able bodied unproductive parasites.

The lifetime contributions for the average medicare recipient don’t come close to covering the average medicare recipients benefits.

How much of that is due to the outrageous costs of healthcare at the point of service?

Quite a bit even though medicare does set reimbursement rates but the fact remains, the average recipient receives far more in benefits than they have contributed.

Can you prove that claim please?

Which the recipient has absolutely no control over.

A commercial comes on tv that introduces a new drug. The pharmaceutical company spends 15 seconds regarding the positive aspects and 45 seconds listing potential negative effects. This is a requirement by law to protect all involved. Did it? Did this drug company have to go through expensive testing to be approved by the FDA? If it’s on television being advertised, did the FDA approve it? The next commercial is by a legal firm of lawyers asking those listening if they have ever used this drug? If so, there may be a pot of gold just waiting for you…call now. The malpractice insurance paid by the medical field is an exhorbitant amount of their revenue. Frivolous lawsuits are a cost being paid by all and those gaining the most, financially…are the lawyers. Now let’s ask ourselves, why this hasn’t changed? Then ask yourself what is the profession of the majority of our politicians?

No disagreement but the fact remains, the average recipient is getting back more than they contributed… free cheese…

Illegal immigrants are prohibited by law from receiving benefits under either Medicaid or the ACA.

Stop making stuff up. Illegal entrant children receive all kinds of free government cheese, including health care. Why do you think their parents are swarming our borders with their children, not to mention pregnant illegal entrants looking to get the American taxpayer to finance the birth of their children which costs on average $8 thousand per birth.

Baby boomers trying to protect the piece of the pie they carved out for themselves in lieu of future generations. How… socialist like of them.
