On Morning Joe Monday, NBC’s chief medical editor Dr. Nancy Snyderman, after arguing that the “biggest fix” for the American healthcare system would be single-payer, proudly declared that she had forced her own kids to sign up for Obamacare as their “patriotic duty.”
Snyderman was brought on to discuss a number of issues, but when hosts Harold Ford, Jr. and Wes Moore turned the discussion to Obamacare, Snyderman revealed just how far left her expert opinion leans, using the failures of the ACA as a means to push for a single-payer system.
Ford: As a physician, what’s the biggest fix that can be done to ensure that better care, affordable care gets to people that don't have it?
Snyderman: I think there should be a single-payer system. And, increasingly, you're seeing physicians in their late 50s, 60s, and 70s, who are saying, “You know what, we got it wrong. We should have taken Medicare, expanded it, and done it smarter. Increase the bottom line for doctors so they don’t feel like they’re being nickeled and dimed with 10% less than Medicare, 5%... Docs just want to be reimbursed a fair amount for hard work. This is making the terrain much, much, much, more difficult.
With Snyderman’s comments about Obamacare turning increasingly critical, Moore stepped in and tweaked the direction of the conversation to a more solution-based talking point:
Moore: You know what's interesting? So you talk about your kids and you talk about... one of the big challenges for Obamacare and the rollout so far has been how do we get the young and how do we get the healthy to sign up for healthcare? Which was a dynamic prior to Obamacare. How do we get the young and how do we get the healthy... That's the reason they came up with the plan.
Snyderman: So I made my kids sign up, because I just said this is your patriotic duty.
The expert opinion of NBC’s chief medical editor.
Indeed. The Doctors and Nurses need to be made conscripts of the State. They should be required to labor for the masses or face fines and imprisonment. It is fair. Healthcare is a right. /s
“I’m an incompetent doctor, but I play one on TV.”
I'll have you know that I'll still be able to see my excellent doctor,....
at his office in the Bahamas.
“Snyderman: So I made my kids sign up, because I just said this is your patriotic duty.”
And, her kids should have said: “Then, you should pay my premiums as your patriotic duty.”
“Snyderman: So I made my kids sign up, because I just said this is your patriotic duty.”
Hitler would be so proud.
Hitler would be proud.
LOL,...Her youngest of three is 19, oldest 27, all considered "children" by leftist gun control statisticians.
Nan has married and divorced three times, father's day must be fun in her household.
“You know what, we got it wrong. We should have taken Medicare, expanded it, and done it smarter.
Duh ya think so the dems pass an illegal law.
For the good of society, this “genius” will micro manage everyones wages, lives and outcomes. She will determine the definition of fair and the implementation of fair.
For that effort, she will award herself the highest salary, the best home, a limo with driver, and a home in Aruba
Thats how socialism works
Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm
some serious inheritance money is at stake...
Dr. Nancy Snyderman - one dim bulb.
Why didn't she save time, and email her family's most secret details directly to the Nigerian scammers and the Russian mob?
I signed up!
There was an allegation—posted on FR back in the late nineties—that the birth mother of Nancy Snyderman’s adopted daughter was a secretary in Arkansas State Government while Bill Clinton was Governer. It was said that the adopted girl is his daughter.
How did Dr. Nancy Snyderman end up on television? Her politics and good connections perhaps? Whatever they were I still give her credit for adopting this girl.
Again, it is an allegation much like the rumors of his son Danny and his mother who were allegedly sent to Australia to keep them out of the way. He should be all grown up by now and surfing! (And I hope he is!)
I do not know if any of this is true, I just remember reading it.
What was that Johnson quote about patriotism being the last refuge of a scoundrel?
Balder von Schirach and Arturs Axmann ghosts applaud that their work continues.
Yeow!!! That’s going way back in the annals of Free Republic. Maybe Nancy Snyderman is dressing up her adoption to give maximum credit to herself. She does seem a self seeker. But....
We are both going to give her credit for giving a decent life to this child she adopted. At least the now grown woman doesn’t look like Web Hubbell
I was just a lurker back in those days but I remember it well. I also remember that Nancy Snyderman supposedly met Hillary while Hillary was working on her divorce.
Child abuse.
Its odd... I seem to recollect stuff like this from a decade ago more easily than events from last month! May be its better off that way given what is about to happen to this country.
