With millions of foreign nationals sneaking into America each year looking for free stuff, this would just about do it for prosperity in America.
Would someone, especially the likes of Burnout Sanders and Alexandria Occasional-Cortex, please tell me one thing that the government (ANY government) has ever been able to do efficiently, and tell me when they have ever been able to effectively manage fraud, waste, and abuse?
The 2018 federal budget is $4.2 trillion.
But, how can it cost anything? Bernie says it will be free!!!! /sarc
Like my tagline says.....
I take that back, there are quite a few vets.
There is not enough money in the entire world economy to fund such a pipe dream.
Medicare was designed for those over 65 because
1. They are old, so they get more diseases.
2. They are old and they usually are ending their working years and can’t afford the usual insurance and medical costs.
3. They are old and would bankrupt their younger family members if nothing was done to help out.
Medicare is designed for the old. Your insurance and your supplementary insurance are designed to automatically renew, because older people tend to forget to do things like that. The system runs smoothly without patient input once you show your cards to the provider, again to make it easier for the elderly. The supplementary kicks in without any paperwork on the patient’s part, again to make it easy for those losing their former sharpness. The payments go straight to the provider. No referrals to specialists are needed, again to simplify paperwork and busywork.
If Americans want to baby the entire population the way they take care of their elderly, I suppose they have that choice, but don’t we baby everybody too much already?
Plus of course the system can’t handle it. The fraud in Medicare is astounding. It depends on patient reporting, and most patients don’t want to do that because they want to keep their doctor. The fraud for such a gigantic system would be overwhelming, especially with the corrupt state our country is in, with everyone trying to rip off the system.
As Amir Tsarfati says in today’s video, if we let the Democrats win in November and impeach Trump, our country is lost forever and will never return.
Canada loses many doctors each year to the U.S. because of our Stalinist health care system that prohibits private hospitals. Those who are either grossly underpaid in their specialties, or who no longer want to work in a system where patients have to wait months for operations while operating rooms sit idle due to government rationing of health care dollars. Bernie Sanders doesn’t just want a public health care system. He wants to abolish private health care, so that all but the super rich will have to wait in Soviet “bread lines” for a knee replacement.
Current Federal budget is 3.9 trillion. This ludic robs idea doubles that amount. So instead of absorbing 20% of the country’s GDP, the Federal government would absorb 40%.
Oh, we can easily get that out of the rich.
She will say never fear she will just raise taxes 2 trillion and cover this the 4 trillion to fully convert to renewable energy and all of the other things she is promising. It is amazing how she can make 2 trillion cover so much spending.
These people are drop dead nutz. They have blinders on and don’t “see” what’s happening in Canada and the UK.
^This! It’s “willful blindness”, they pretend these conditions don’t exist.
#3, and have to wait 6-9 months to get it.
Medicare is also available for the disabled, receiving Social Security Disability Income (SSDI) aged less than 64. This is roughly 5% of the population, or about 16 million people.
Exactly, they want FREE health care. Medicare is not free
That's exactly what it is. Bernie makes no bones about the fact that he's pushing universal health care.
What’s the problem? Merely, print a $33,000,000,000,000 bill and you’ll get some change. LIB economics works so well, doesn’t it? What worthless fools...
Will Bernie pay for it?
Your free healthcare would consist of long waits at a government clinic for a 10 minute visit with a physician assistant or nurse practitioner, waits of days or more if you need to see an actual doctor and weeks of waiting to see a specialist. Specialized treatment like cancer therapy or surgery...more waiting. Then of course there will be rationing of care. Too old or too young too bad as death panels decide your care. Isn’t socialism great
