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

3.2 Trillion now, and as the population continues to age and in general live longer those Medicare costs will be literally unbounded. The Federal tax pie will be gobbled up by an ever growing healthcare slice. And that of course will put the squeeze on the all the other government expenditures as we spend the lion's share of tax revenue on our aging, wheezing elderly population. Hey now there's a formula for success right?
 
Bernie’s "Medicare for All" predicted to cost nearly $33 trillion

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

Oh look, another brainiac who
Bernie’s "Medicare for All" predicted to cost nearly $33 trillion

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.

No need to guess, and oh look, the poster left out some very relevant information.

Imagine that.

Koch-backed study finds ‘Medicare for All’ would save U.S. trillions
 
The annual medical costs private and public are far higher than 3.2T.

Install competitive bidding, let marketplace determinism take effect, and the costs will go down dramatically, access will open up, and national health will improve.

It seems that Bernie wants to eliminate private healthcare. It would be a cataclysmic DISASTER. And people actually want this idiot to be president? Sanders makes Obama look like fucking Confuscius.
 
Yup all of Europe, Canada, South Africa, Australia, New Zealand, etc., have collapsed from national health care.

:p
 
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.
Lol
Fuck that... Socialize medicine is for a sick mother fucking pieces of shit like yourself… You know - control freaks * so shut the fuck up...
haha, you lost this round..

Socialize medicine is only exceptable if it’s 100% voluntary, Any forcing of socialized medicine on anyone else is communist at best....
Paying for the military isnt voluntary..

The military/fire/police are an necessary... The civilian federal government not so much
We have federal fire service.
And all these are federal police forces: US marshals, federal bureau of prisons, FBI, DEA, ATF, office of inspector general.
So, all these are single-payer services.
 
The entire federal budget for 18' is about $4 trillion. Can you imagine adding another $3.2 trillion? No doubt those costs would rise dramatically in the years to come and I bet quality of care would actually diminish.

Don't do it. Nothing beats the free market. I do believe you can have alternative sources, such as group plans as Rand Paul suggests and other choices, but America is where you go to be free. Embrace this freedom and capitalism, even as it's imperfect, it is far more perfect than any other system. I know of what I speak.

Your decimal points do not match

Here is the headline I copied from your link


Study: 'Medicare for all' projected to cost $32.6 trillion


So is it 3.2 trillion or 32.6 Trillion?
 
I reported this post, and if the mods see fit, good-bye.
Aw!!!
Did you tell the teacher? LOL

Yep. If the rules are followed someone like you ought to be punished.
Lol
You don’t have very thick skin do you?
Forcing me into socialized medicine is the greatest insult anyone can say to me, second only to more frivolous gun control laws...
What insurance do you plan to use when you are 65?
Cash
You have obviously never been sick
Good luck with that once you pass 65

If you read the article you'll figure it out.
 
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.


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.
"private health insurance is compulsory for all persons residing in Switzerland"

Well look at you. In favor of a health insurance mandate!

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
Sorry, but your blathering is a big bag of NOTHING. That's why we have ObamaCare and will eventually have single payer.
