Medicare for All targets the elderly.

[Ray9]

There is no natural escape from aging which is why Medicare was enacted in 1966. After age 65 the government provides medical insurance for citizens who without choice got old as well as some who contracted certain end stage diseases. Medicare is like a pond that supports a special population of fish. It’s not perfect but it works reasonably well as long as its ecosystem and population remain balanced-There is danger ahead for the pond.

After the destruction of US healthcare by the Obama administration’s Affordable Care Act, there have increasing calls to expand Medicare to cover all citizens regardless of age. Imagine what would happen if you had a longstanding backyard pond with 150 fish in it and suddenly someone dumped 100,000 more fish into that pond.

The original fish would quickly succumb to the hordes of new interlopers because they would be the weakest. It is the frail and infirm that are the first to be attacked by socialism because they are the least likely to put up a fight. Medicare for All would be a direct assault on every American over age 65.

They would be cast into the midst of mobs consisting of drug addicts, alcoholics, malingerers, criminals and careless citizens that exercised free will and chose a fate that unlike aging could have been avoided-but they have a vote that can be purchased to empower government by imposing socialism.

Even the most hapless fools among us watched as American politicians cobbled together a special technicality to separate and excuse themselves from the affordable Care Act. History reveals that virtually all socialist examples of government healthcare reserved top notch and quickly accessible medicine for the corrupted elite while rank and file citizens like most of us are herded into the bureaucracy to wait our turn even if we die in line.

As the US strays from a meritocracy to socialist aristocracy, Americans over age 65 are directly in the crosshairs of a runaway government that has singled them out of the herd as easy age-wounded targets. Anyone on Medicare that wants to preserve the pond should vote against Medicare for ALL because it is potential threat to elderly healthcare that could be a permanent dagger to its heart.

Do not let the elites play you for fools. You can’t stop aging but you can fight socialism.

Isn't medicare for all over 65 years of age, an example of socialism?

 

[Ray9]

Isn't medicare for all over 65 years of age, an example of socialism?

It is "limited" to "aging" which is not choice made by citizens.

No!

 

[Tax Man]

The PPACA did not harm older folks and even made my healthcare better. The medicare for all puts everyone into a pool for payment and service.

 

[Mac1958]

REAL "Medicare for All" would be great. An already-functioning and popular combination of a public foundation and free market competition. And the free market component could easily be expanded for younger people. No big deal.

But unfortunately, the Democrats are purposely misrepresenting what they want: Single Payer, not "Medicare for All". In other words, they're lying.

As long as they choose to lie, we can't have an honest debate on health care.

Since when does socialism involve choice?

Wow, wjat a crock of shit. Medicarte for now would not affect those currently on Medicare.

What to know what will fuck older Americans? Trump. Trump's plan will skyrocket costs for people over 50, hurt Medicare.

The ACA helped.

Agreed. This could be easily implemented, since the infrastructure is already in place.

The Rs are just as dishonest as the Ds on this issue, and nearly all other issues. They like to claim it will cost too much, as they spend trillions on the war machine and so any other harmful and wasteful things.

Medicare is single payer dumb ass.

 

[WillowTree]

Let me try to explain something to the libtards! Before age 65 the government dips into your paycheck and takes money out for Medicare. You pay approximately thirty years before you draw a dime in benefits. At the same time, you are shelling out money for private insurance! So don’t hand us that bs that it’s socialism! Ya hear? Now what you turds want to do is hand Medicare to those who haven’t paid the bill for thirty years! Morons!

LOL. You just exposed yourself as uninformed AGAIN, and a doufus.

Medicare allows private insurance companies to manage care in the program, which means the government is not the only payer of claims.

plus your 30 years of payments and getting nothing. Medicare sure as fuck isn’t socialism, it’s pretty damn expensive! And then the democrat fuckers helped themselves to 960 billion to fund obamaturd care! So they virtually stole the money so they could give freebies to people who didn’t pay into it.

I trained for about 8 years on Medicare Supplements and Medicare Advantage.

I was the financial guy in the room for a Fortune 100 Medicare Insurance Company for six years as they pieced together plans and networks benefit by benefit, cost by cost, county by county, in my state.

And you? You're just another childish, ignorant, intolerant partisan zombie.

There is a free market component to the Medicare system. As I said.
