For them to bring this up and suggest this...means the whole Affordable Health Act must have reached a failure stage even in their minds.
There’s a winning issue for them! :-)
The plan includes drastic cuts in payments to doctors and hospitals. That is the only way such a plan could be implemented without raising taxes through the roof.
If we had single-payer for all medical expenses at the current rates, the taxes required would be 40% of all salaries.
The Leftist barbarians have stormed the Democrat Party gates. Hillary could not hold the fortress. The party is firmly in the hands of the Radical Left now.
Obamacare on steroids. I hope they run on it.
There Ain’t No Such Thing As A Free Lunch.
Try yours truly: I’m destitute in exchange for getting comprehensive government care.
The government will treat the rest of the population no differently under Medicare Plus.
Nothing is in life is free.
How much further can these idiots "lurch to the left" before they fall off the planet?
What next - social security for all?
The only reason Medicare is sustainable is that there are 3 people paying into the system for every one drawing benefits. If you expand Medicare to all then it will be the reverse—three people drawing benefits for every one paying in. So that means you’ll need to increase the Medicare payroll tax to 9 times its current rate. Currently it’s 2.9%. That would make it 26.1%. On top of the other taxes you already pay.
Kinda odd since Medicare is not “free”.
And the quicker that this country heads towards economic collapse.......
Single payer was always the goal.
The unAffordable Care Act was a means to that end.
Destroy the insurance market.
Can anyone say, "The single goal of the Progressive movement has been, and is, 'Control'?"
And that Progressive "control" is intended to mean that some imperfect individual human beings, whether singly or in a group, make decisions and take actions which rob individuals of their Creator-endowed rights and liberties--all the while denying that those individuals are indentified by the Preamble of the Constitution as, "We, the People," who are, in the words of Justice Story, "the only KEEPERS" of the Constitution."
Democrats and other parasites always open to a free ride that make other people pay for leaches on the march.
But none of them will be on it.
