What's the point of working?

That's the whole point of being a Democrat, isn't it?

Bernie wants to piggy back on Medicare because he knows Americans don’t want to turn their backs on older Americans who have worked their whole lives and paid for this benefit.

Bernie wants to bankrupt the system by opening it to every deadbeat drug addict ...

“Free” healthcare is an idea only thieves and idiots believe in.

When someone says that we need free healthcare, you should look at them and say,

“Only an idiot thinks we can have free healthcare. If you get something for free, it is because somebody else worked for it without reward. It should be called ‘Stolen’ healthcare.”

Democrats are forgetting to tell you that private insurance would be banned under their scheme; employers would be barred from covering workers or their families. Union members and executives who bargained for gold-plated private plans would lose them and have to settle for the same one-size-fits-all public coverage as people who refuse to work at all. Even immigrants here illegally would get the same benefits. What's the point of working?

It still amazes me that people still believe in a free lunch. My recent vacation in Hungary saw a tour guide say that they have free healthcare and education through college. I asked: Don't you mean subsidized healthcare and education. She said no, it's totally free, although you must "qualify" for education. I asked what their tax rates were. She said 40% on income plus a 21% VAT tax. I asked: So you pay 61% of your income in taxes but you claim everything is "free". Her response: Crickets.

Medicare for All = Single Payer

That’s why they have Focus Groups.

endorsing "Medicare-for-all" -- a single-payer health system -- for the nation

socialized medicine:

Egalitarianism + medical price & wage controls + bureaucratization =

-increased aggregate demand for and consumption of medical services
-increased total costs, waste, and inefficiency
-decreased supply of doctors = shortages of doctors
-decreased quality and quantity of medical services for each individual patient (rationing & waiting lines)
-decreased value of each individual patient to a provider
-enslavement of doctors
-death panels & aged become sacrificial victims
-decreased technological advances and decreased technological progress in medicine.

Is Betsy, the author, part of the cosmopolitan elite establishment? Why is she calling the ex-POTUS “President” Obama?

The only point to sell people on “free.”

But it isn’t really free if you pay for it with your health and your life.

People have already forgotten Obamacare was a dangerous failure.

Medicare For All is all that and more - on steroids.

“At least in Britain, people are free to buy private insurance and go outside the government system for care. But that’s not true under “Medicare-for-all.” You’d be trapped.”

You could buy care in most of the other ~179 countries of the world, including Canada or Mexico.

Bernie’s the ‘give away the bank’ guy.....who got on the Political bandwagon for job security............

In 1981, 39 yr. old went on the public payroll earning about $33,700 per year as Mayor of Burlington, Vermont.

In 1991, 8 years later.. he ran for Vermont’s lone seat in the House of Rep. ..his salary bumped up to about $96,000.

In 2006, 8 yrs later.. he ran for Senate seat in 2006, where his salary bumped up to $165,000.

For seven years, from 2004 to 2011, his wife Jane was president of tiny Burlington College, where her salary was about $160,000 yrly.

All of the couple’s assets are in Jane’s name, and they own a condo in D.C. and a rental property in Vermont.

Standard Medicare works very well except for a few exceptions, such as physical therapy companies that run through patients’ Part B coverage to maximize profits.

Many Medicare eligible people take the option to buy privately-run (and mainly federal government paid for) Medicare Advantage plans that President Bill Clinton made available by signing the Balanced Budget Act of 1997 into law.

“An intriguing study recently compared mortality rates from all treatable cancers among the US, the UK, France, and Germany. US mortality rates are better compared to our peers. Perhaps Americans do receive better treatment.

“Here’s the catch. When mortality rates are restricted only to patients under 65, the US loses its lead – we are right in the middle. Only when we compare mortality rates among patients over 65 do we excel among our peers. Why? Possibly because Medicare gives older Americans the health care access they lacked when younger.”

How is it still not a capital offense to introduce socialistic legislation?
