We shall see. I think that they will but I greatly hope that I am wrong. A simple question must be answered: with all best intentions, how the government will be able to add more people to the medicare-like program when the existing medicare has a ton of problems and is running out of money quickly? How can it be done without increasing taxes and rationing services?
Simple question and the answer is basic economics 101: It is impossible to cut cost in socialized medicine unless you drastically cut services, cut doctors salaries, and cut hospital payments. In other word lower cost health care = very low quality heatlh care. I think that a majority of Americans know this simple fact and that is why they oppose socialized medicine.
You formulated basic economics 101 very well. I agree, of course, that they are selling the impossible. Now, can Dems con seniors in staying with them if they will hurt them de-facto?
They have a good history of hurting blacks de-facto and fooling them into voting for them. Will seniors prove to be less gullible?
