Alexandria Ocasio Cortez: Medicare For All Is Cheaper Because It Reduces Funeral Costs

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez is fun. No, I mean that in all sincerity; she’s a fun candidate. She’s now one of the faces of the emerging left wing of the Democratic Party. Some have even called her the future of the Democratic Party. Maybe they should slow their roll on her, but hey—a Democratic implosion of rising talent is always a fun show to watch. She’s feisty. She has her moments, but when it comes to the policy discussion for her television hits, she veers into rocky shoals.

casio-Cortez is clueless on the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, playing whack-a-mole concerning whether there should be a two-state solution. Don’t expect anything rational from here on out. Three days after her interview on PBS’ Firing Line, in which she voiced her support for a two-state solution, she moved away from that position. She recently attended a conference with anti-Israel activist Linda Sarsour, so that’s all you need to know where she’ll probably land. The far left is viciously anti-Israel. You have to be in order to call yourself a proud left-winger.

CNN’s Chris Cuomo had her on his show, where she proved once again that she has no clue what she's talking about concerning economic policy. Ocasio-Corez thinks the military got a $700 billion increase, wrote a $2 trillion check for the Trump tax cuts, and the Medicare for All initiative isn’t bad because it would reduce the costs of funerals. Yeah, no one will die under a single payer system. Hey, not dying—sounds great on paper. Concerning application, you’d have to be on crack cocaine to think this would ever be cost-effective. It’s not. It has a $30+ trillion price tag. The three-decade price tag for the Left’s goodie bag—free college, Medicare for all, etc.—lands in the neighborhood of…$218 trillion.

>>She is proof blondes get a bad rap.<<

LMAO! Now that there is really funny!

[fortes fortuna juvat]

>>supposedly graduated, and probably in the very last place<<

You mean like the gal now doing her first heart surgery after having graduated “dead” last in her medical school class?

[fortes fortuna juvat]

>>ONLY 28? Well my 28 year old daughter just got her PhD.<<

Well I certainly hope your daughter is more intelligent than some of the people I’ve known with a PhD.

[fortes fortuna juvat]

>>Boston University - shame on them for graduating her with a degree in economics.<<

And shame SHAME on them for admitting her in the first place, although it’s entirely possible she was brighter than most others in her class.

Yeah something like that. (Would that surprise you?)

[Kaslin]

You said it.

[Kaslin]

How much more gross can they get?

[SunkenCiv]

Yes, despite all the advances in health care over the past century or so, the mortality rate remains 100 percent.

[SaveFerris]

yep

LOL

I haven't listened to Rush in quite some time but that does sound like something he'd say. She certainly is the preeminent mediocrity of her political crowd, I'll say that.

[Jack Hammer]

Scientists have been looking for ways to put an end to death ever since the days of Rome. Who’d a thought it was as simple as buying into socialist medical schemes. How’s it doing over in Britain? Have they stopped dying over there?

worth REPEATING—

Come on America, how much of this do you have to see to make a sane decision that the Dummycrats are bad for us all.

This woman’s an idiot!

Thanks; that is the role of Ocasio-Cortes in the Dem Party. The wealthy whites that run it don’t want to hear her opine on socio-economic disparities...
