I love it! He’s using all the same crappola the dems drag out every election year to use against the reps and turning it right back on them.

If you’re retired and receiving Social Security and Medicare, “Medicare for all” is your pink slip”. Adios. “You’ve had a good life.”

To cover everyone, some things have to go.

If you’ve seen the HGTV home renovation shows Love It or List It and Love It or List It Too - then you know no budget can cover all one’s dream list wants.

Something has always got to give. That’s real life.

Well, in this case it's true, Medicare for all would ruin the system for all, including seniors.

The only way it almost works now is you pay into medicare your entire life just so you can have it from age 65 on. Sort of like a savings account but it only is able to pay for those today on medicare and not your own. A legalized ponzi scheme.

The people who put into the system for 30-40 years vs the people who haven’t put in a dime.

The Democrats are so evil.

But, But, But- In the USPS Expidited Junk Mail I just got 3 BIG 8” x 16” glossy on both sides and pictures on both sides of pelouzy and some jr commieratwannabewitch that looks like a clone of pelouzy running for a fed house seat here in NC AND IT SAID (ON BOTH SIDES) THAT PRESIDENT TRUMP AND ALL REPUBLICANS ARE GOING TO MAKE ANYBODY THAT IS 60 OR OLDER ON MEDICARE SHARE THE SAME 6 UNITS OF BLOOD TILL WE DIE !!!!!

AND IF YOU ALSO GET MEDICADE THAT THEY WILL DRAW OUT ALL BUT 1 UNIT FROM YOUR OWN CHILDREN!!!

I took a Sharpie™️ and put hitler mustache, iron crosses around necks and swasticka on the front of their red dresses before I handed them off to Mama. She hardly glanced at them, saw who it was and promptly ripped into little pieces and trash canned them.!!!

I was Devastated🤭

I said, You didn’t even look at those!

Mama replied, I saw who it was...

Then I had to tell Mama how She ruined My Autistic Artistic Dreams😢

A legalized ponzi scheme. No different that social security which almost works for the same reason.

"Medicare for All" makes about as much sense as "Social Security for All."

The only logical alternative is phased in privatization for both. Something like 60 or older, not affected 100% of benefits, then dial down 3% per year. 59 years gets 97%, 58 gets 94% and so forth down to age 25 gets total privatization.

And stop paying benefits to those who haven't paid in a dime . . . that's what welfare and Medicade are for.

Now that McLame is dead, can we get back to getting healthcare on the free market?
