Bernie reintroduces Medicare For All with 15 co-sponsors, chairs Budget Committee Hearing "Medicare for All: Protecting Health, Saving Lives & Money"

[gipper]

Would Medicare-for-all be expensive? Yes. But it would be significantly less costly than our current dysfunctional system

Instead of wasting $40 billion on the war profiteers, spend it at home helping Americans.

What a novel idea.

 

[Oddball]

122 members of the House support the same legislation, including 100 members of the House Progressive Caucus. it is an INTERNATIONAL EMBARASSMENT that in the richest country in the history of the world, 70 million are uninsured or underinsured

health care is a human right that all americans, regardless of income, are entitled to

Bernie also did an op-ed on FOX NEWS about the issue...full court press baby

68,000 Americans die each year because they cannot afford the health care they desperately need.

this is the 1st ever hearing about Medicare For All. thank you Bernie

Because if it's one thing that massive bureaucracies are renowned for, it's saving money.

Who could be foolish enough to fall for that "it'll be cheaper" line of bullshit anymore?

 

[Oddball]

Yeah, because massive bureaucracies are famous for being cost effective and wise with the taxpayer's money!

Just how dopey can you be?

What a dumbass fucking Socialist idea.

Bernie is a millionaire. If he wants to pay the healthcare bills for other people then he needs to put his money where his mouth is and pony up.

20 hospitals shut down this year, 73 over the past decade, including 4 in Graham's South Carolina

How will the risky Medicare for All scheme get new hospitals to be built in South Carolina or bring Quality physicians and surgeons to set up practices in Greenville and Columbia?

 

[basquebromance]

1/3rd of American health care spending is on administration, that's double that of Canada

 

[basquebromance]

The 8 southern coalfield counties of West Virginia are among the poorest in the nation, with life expectancy in some less than that of Bangladesh

why the hell do they oppose socialism?

Fucking coward is all you are. You can't even stay on topic!

 

[Mac1958]

He might have better luck to change the bill to age 50 and up. Dems have always tried to cut the sales of Med Adv and supplements. They wanted to cut the insurance industry out of ACA but could not. If they ever succeed hundreds of thousands of insurance people will either lose their jobs or since the workforce of sales people has an average age up there will retire. But not to worry his bill will go no where.

Bernie sure does keep trying.

I'm still blown away by the fact that some Republicans are actually looking at expanding the FULL system to all. The obvious fix. We'll see.

Not the least bit surprising.

The corporations servicing medicare patients would love to service us all.

Medicare Fraud is one of the biggest money making schemes in the US.

16 Devastating Medicare Fraud Statistics: How Bad Is It?

Medicare fraud costs $50 billion annually. Knowing these Medicare fraud statistics by heart is the first step to prevention.

On average we spend over 4 trillion dollars a year on healthcare in the US. What could they do with 6.7% of 4 trillion dollars?

why the hell do they oppose socialism?

Why would they support it?

Its the socialists in this country that have the war on coal miners.

BTW, a generation or so ago, those counties supported hardcore socialists like Dukakis and Clinton, how did it work out?

Nothing in the Medicare for All Scheme would bring Top Flight Doctors and health care facilities into southern West Virginia or encourage a single one of the elite physicians to hang their shingle in downtown Welch, WV.

Which Republicans? Every sponsor on the bill listed is a progressive. Why do you simply make shit up?

 

[MINDLESS]

health care is a human right that all americans, regardless of income, are entitled to

IT IS ONLY A RIGHT IN YOUR NARROW MIND.

 

[iamwhatiseem]

I wonder if this is ACTUAL "Medicare (including free market Medicare Advantage and Medicare Supplements) For All" or if this is just Single Payer, dishonestly disguised by the Democrats (again) as "Medicare For All".

You know it's the latter

 

[MINDLESS]

Here is your typical Odummer plan.....................1200 per month premium plus a 10k deductible....................That is amost spending 25,000 before first dollar coverage.....................Yep affordable......lololol

A huge expense like the mortgage pmnt and then you have to pay 10 more K?????

obummer SET THE USA BACK 50 YEARS!

 

[Polishprince]

Crazy Bernie's risky scheme doesn't guarantee any rights to anyone.

Health "coverage" isn't health care. Nothing in this proposed atrocity would do anything to bring health care to outlying areas that are lacking in this regard.

 

[PoliticalChic]

Psssssssttttt…….universal healthcare will piss away 79 million every 5 minutes.

....and reduce the quality of American healthcare, at the same rate.

I'm not like you. Thank goodness.

You people exist in a freaking rabbit hole.

Here, Trumpster:

I'll be danged - Republicans may have it right on a health system!

I've been saying since I've been here that our (a) our health care "system" is insane, and (b) the ACA is a stupid pig of a law. Plenty of examples of those posts upon request. Then I point out that the Democrats were lying about "Medicare for All", when what they REALLY want is Single Payer...
