More Pandering - Harris Wants To Forgive Medical Debt

Sweden has government funded health care.
Sweden's higher education is funded by tax revenues or grants by the states.
Doesn't sound like they have to try at all.
They don't. They do a GREAT JOB.

But they also are tough and understand you get help after you've done all you can. It's cultural.

They have a tax rate of 55%. I'd be willing to do that, under the right conditions.

Not here where we have two morons running for office. A group of assholes in congress and country of entitled dimwits.
 
Well, it you are one of the 1% or more, you can probably afford it.
I said you can't guarantee what I could or could not do. why don't you get the fuck out of assuming things you don't know.
But if that's the case, get the fuck out of telling normal people how they can afford to live and die.
Why don't you write the message to Bernie Sanders, Dizzy Lizzy Warren, and Barack Obama ?
 
Why do you think you are entitled to have the government force people to pay your medical bills?
It's so good, you had illegals coming across the border to get health care (demanding it in some cases back in the 1990's) and then going home.
 
So, in terms of the discussion here - Harris trying to buy votes by promising to pay off existing debt - it doesn't matter.
Thanks for making that clear.
The sick individual is most likely unable to afford to pay, so SOMEONE WILL, ANDIT'S YOUR DAY IN THE BARRELL, MATEY.

Obamacare only partially solved this problem. I left the HC industry 20 years ago, but one idea had been to allow insurers to put these folks in "high risk pools," although the taxpayer would support paying for treatment ...

Harris's proposal (that will go nowhere) is that govt (you) pay and the sick guy doesn't go bankrupt. It's not really a change.

But it does change the impetus for people using some financial analysis to decide what they can do without. And imo that's a reason to deep six it. But hey, she's talking policy so lets break the pinata.
 

Vice President Kamala Harris wants to forgive medical debt for millions of Americans.

The economic plan Harris rolled out last week notes that the Democratic presidential nominee and her running mate, Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz, would work with states to relieve people of their medical debt and “to help them avoid accumulating such debt in the future, because no one should go bankrupt just because they had the misfortune of becoming sick or hurt.”

Some 15 million Americans have medical bills on their credit reports, according to Consumer Financial Protection Bureau research published in April. People in the U.S. owe at least $220 billion in medical debt, a February KFF analysis found.

Yes sireeee.

I will going to the doctor and running up all kinds of bills in anticipation of Hindenburg Harris paying them off.

They are not even trying to hide the pandering.

Not to mention government picking winners and losers.

You know, the person who honors their debts vs those who think the world owes them something.

And all that.

And, of course, how will she do it ? Is she going to tell the medical industry......tough shit or is she going to pay them off with your money and thus increase our debt ?
A. She can’t do it alone.
B. I’d benefit greatly. But she can’t buy my vote like that.
C. Her supremely shallow thinking is nothing more than a reflection of the Dimocrap Party utopian nonsense. (Nothing really “costs” anything. Everything is “free.”)
 
You can't.

He never had one. And you know that.

Your fragile ego can't admit you were so easily hoaxed.

And you just keep on falling for your cult leader's hoaxes.

But you can thank Trump for continued high medical costs. It is he you should be blaming, because he lied right to your slack little face.

You are a sucker who refuses to stop sucking.

Oh please get Kamunista's breast out of your mouth.
 
APologies I thought you were the OP.


Well if they are rich anyway. Most US citizens are not rich and do not have that access, or end up with massive, bankruptcy inducing bills.
Before you incur debt, this is your decision to be aware of
It’s called being of legal decision making age with ALL the responsibilities thereof.
We know you loathe and shirk personal responsibility
 
Democrats: Home of the FREEBIES!. Young entitled spoiled kids just throw their student loan debts out the window. Now medical debt too,.,:icon_sjung:
 
On the flip side, the US is the only First World country I know of where people actually get medical debt...
We are the sickliest, self-abusive, out of shape and accusation people of a nation in the world. We will never be able to pay for all of our ills without limiting medical and putting patients on waiting lists. That in itself will have accusations of hate as we have so many cultures living here. There are Prog elites who have made statement and have had ideas on this. President Obama made at least two statements. Limits of monetary cost per citizen and give the pain pill to end life.
