According to new research, Crazy Bernie's Medicare for All plan would cost $33trillion over 10 years

[Rustic]

Seeing as the U.S. already spends about 3.5 trillion a year on healthcare, or about $11,000 per person, such a collective cost would not be an increase, yet would make sure no one suffers unnecessarily.

Healthcare is not a right

Single payer is the humane and logical system. All else puts money before people.

Lol
Single payer is impossible for this country to afford… So shut the fuck up

 

[EvilCat Breath]

Has anyone asked Bernie how single payer worked out in Vermont?

 

[there4eyeM]

We already pay more than this amount. Don't you get it? The money would merely be more efficiently and less expensively channeled, as well as benefiting far more people.

Bernie’s "Medicare for All" predicted to cost nearly $33 trillion

So about 90% of the federal budget would go towards this single entitlement

So that adds up to $3.3 trillion a year.

Guess how much the US spends on health care every year right now.


Go ahead. Guess.

This has already been pointed out, but few seem to have recognized the facts.

As the pseudocons whine and whine about the Democrats' plan for health care, we find them sitting with their thumbs up their asses. They offer NOTHING to fix the cost of health care which has been rising faster than inflation and GDP for DECADES.

When you offer the American people NOTHING, sooner or later they will choose the Democratic plan. That's how we ended up with Obamacare, retards. Because you decided to do NOTHING and to demand NOTHING.

 

[g5000]

The Democrats have always said they want socialized medicine. They've been saying it for a very long time.

The Republicans offered NOTHING as an alternative in all that time.

And that is how you know the GOP sold us all down the river to socialized medicine, boys and girls. And you allowed yourselves to be thoroughly hoaxed into going along.

That's what you get for being brainless parroting rubes.

This is not supposed to be a collective\village its supposed to be a republic... There is no such thing as any sort of freedom and individuality in a European-style socialist society

If people were to pay for their own shit like they’re supposed to we would not have this evil scourge of socialism trying to make its way into people’s personal lives

The ACA was an attempt to help our spinning out of control health care costs. IF congress had made the choice to work together it could have been worked on & improved & polished to something that worked for all. instead the choice was made to make it a political foot ball.

I agree.

The only thing that can put dimocrap scum back into power is the Health Care situation.

We need to go to the Swiss System. It's brilliant and it is NOT socialized medicine.

Healthcare in Switzerland - Wikipedia

Healthcare in Switzerland is universal and is regulated by the Swiss Federal Law on Health Insurance. There are no free state-provided health services, but private health insurance is compulsory for all persons residing in Switzerland

The problem is, the Federal Government doesn't have the power, only the States do and the States are gutless.

A single payer system would ideally provide the following:

• Cradle to grave age appropriate preventative care
• The large pool which will reduce costs
• No profit motive
• Subsidize Clinics for easy access in every Congressional District
• Set standards for costs for typical and common procedures
• Provide health care education, on nutrition, exercise, contraception (reduce unwanted pregnancies & abortions) and STD's.
• Hospice care, in home when the family supports it
• Raise revenue by increasing the 1.45% Medicare tax to a factor to mitigate costs.
