When all else fails, promise for free shit.
The sad part is, there's a good portion of the country that will buy it.

But we knew that, didn't we. d:^)

Pelosi, IMO, is the head RAT wacko along with her twin, Aunt Maxine, and Uncle Schmuck Schumer. All three are an asset to the RAT Party showing the world they’re all wacked and anti-American.

Taking away Medicare for Americans while giving all the goodies to illegals is just what the RATs should run on as well as raising taxes and enabling our enemies.

DemocRAT Party = Party of Progressive Wackos! Get out the vote in November - these bottom feeders have got to be defeated.

We’ll think about possibly taking a look at considering doing something about maybe evaluating it.

Medicare requires paying premiums over many years. I think they mean “ welfare” not “Medicare”

Good point.

Currently, people pay Medicare taxes for forty or fifty years, then they have to pay premiums for Medicare Part B, and further premiums for a "supplemental plan", if they want more than basic coverage.

Somehow, I don't think this model is what the Dems have in mind.

Or... maybe they do, and they figure that people are too dumb to figure it out, until after it happens.

Just like dropping “gun control” for “gun safety.”

Global warming once disproven is now climate change...Socialism is now progressivism... The Dems love word games because they think people are stupid - truly amazing.

And someone needs to tell the masses about the coverage. Even with all the things you still have to pay monthly for, it doesn’t cover everything. I frequently have to sign a paper that says ‘Medicare may not cover this, but I consent to the test/procedure and will pay for it myself, if Medicare won’t pay’ (obviously paraphrased).

“We believe in the Affordable Care Act, that it has the structure to take us forward in many different ways,” she said.

The fact that it is pure garbage for the American people is of no consequence.

Yes, we did pay for Medicare over our lifetimes and the government has had their hands in the Medicare pot sucking out “our” money. Corruption in government has gone on far too long without those responsible being outed.

Have you seen what Medicare pays? If it were not for secondary insurance, we would all be in deep doo doo. Medicare “rules” and, if Medicare aka The Government, doesn’t want you to have whatever treatment your doctor feels necessary, you are “out of luck” up to and including death. The government’s own form of “death panels.”

Why are people, who had medical insurance as part of their retirement plan, “forced” to enroll in Medicare?

To keep the facade of 'health care' from collapsing for as long as possible..................

For evidence of the failures of government run health care, one had to look no further than the United Kingdom. Yet as much as we oppose government programs, I sense the fix to ObamaCare will include a public option. Both parties will vote for anything that will increase their control over the people’s lives. The only argument will be over which side can make the doctor’s offices run on schedule.

Nancy seems to be doing everything she possibly can to make sure the Democrats DON’T take the House.

Medicare aka government minimal care? Without secondary medical care plans, we would all be broke. Many doctors refuse Medicare patients because Medicare takes forever to pay and they pay nothing. I’ve seen bills of $700 and Medicare paid $10. Really!

Then there’s the game of “contracted amount.” A colonoscopy is billed at $5,000 and you see that $500 was paid. What is that all about? The hospital and doctor “write it off their taxes as a loss?” How many billions are being “written off tax liability” of physicians, clinics, and hospitals because they’re charging ten times more than doctors and hospitals get back from Medicare.

I was sent a physical therapy bill years ago that wasn’t supposed to come to me. The PT office billed $75 or more for a tech to put a heating pad on my neck for 10 minutes. The contracted amount was some very small part of that amount like $10. It’s a billing game that no one talks about or exposes. I’m sure everyone has seen EOB’s and saw the amount billed and what was really paid. Another game is the elderly seeing the shortfall and thinking they have to pay it.

“non-starter, the Dems have no message but socialism.”

Americans beware and need to remember little Alfie Evans who Italy wanted to treat and even had a plane at the ready to transport him but the BIG SOCIALISTS DOCTORS IN ENGLAND, wouldn’t let him go, instead wanted him to die. The parents had no say, and only the patient can make decisions, but of course Little Alfie Evans was pretty much comatose and only 18 months old. That’s the kind of medicine that those two knuckleheads, Sanders and pelosi want.

"Don’t forget, we PAID for our Medicare over our lifetimes......................."

With all due respect RB, we and our employers did not pay for our Medicare. We paid for Medicare for all those who went before us and we hope that this ponzi scheme will keep going long enough to cover our health services. Like Social Security, there are no individual "lock boxes" just government IOU's.
