• Medicare for all

    From BOB ACKLEY@1:123/140 to ALL on Friday, July 05, 2019 11:46:38
    Bernie Sanders' bright idea of "Medicare for all" will certainly
    eliminate the gulf between those in this country who have health care
    and those who don't. It will also eliminate the high cost of health
    care in this country.

    Because hospitals and clinics in this country will all go bankrupt and
    close their doors; health care won't be available to anybody, at any
    price. Think of all the money we'll save by not having to spend it on
    health care or health insurance.

    Is Medicare for All worse than ACA? We gave the feds 8 years to deliver
    Obama's promise, only to find some of the highest prices for premiums in our lifetime.

    Didn't democrats already disgrace themselves enough? ACA became law, now poor people, who work for low wages, and can't afford "affordable health
    insurance" get to pay a fine if anyone in their household doesn't provide
    proof of coverage at tax time. I guess it can be called a "success" by the
    IRS, since they're making money off all those fines.

    Is that how "success" is measured now? By promising something that sounds promising to poor Americans, and then socking it to them?

    Not all Democrats are truth twisters, but Obama sure twisted things up for people seeking medical care. How will Medicare for all find it's "success?"

    Yay, we can be just like Cuba! <sarcasm off>

    Actually, I think Cuba has a fairly good health care system, although
    it's run by the government there. So do we, but you'd never know it
    listening to the Corruptocrats.

    The main thing wrong with the US health care system is - wait for it - government meddling. The main reason for the rapid rise in the cost of
    health care in this country is - wait for it - Medicare
