More Pandering - Harris Wants To Forgive Medical Debt

[Freedomisneverfree]

It's how they control people, and keep them in line. The less independent the individual is, the easier it is to control their lives.

Democrats love feeding off the "teat" of the government...

 

[justoffal]

Debt can't be forgiven it can only be transferred to someone else....

Exactly

 

[HikerGuy83]

Her supremely shallow thinking is nothing more than a reflection of the Dimocrap Party utopian nonsense. (Nothing really “costs” anything. Everything is “free.”)

More to the point...soak the rich.

Obama is rich
Sanders is rich
Warren is rich
Pelosi is rich
Clinton is rich

Looking forward to them paying their "fair share" if Harris wins and gets the house and senate.

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 ?

Excellent. Number one cause of bankruptcy.

Exactly

Well then you are going to be so surprised when you learn who already pays for indigent care now.

We all do

 

[Fort Fun Indiana]

We all do

Correct! At inflated prices with interest, no less.

Most inefficient system in the world.

 

[HikerGuy83]

The point of this thread was not about the medical stuff as much as it is that she is pandering.

She was "a key player in Biden's policy" (someone had to be, the wilted Celery Stalk certainly wasn't).

And now she has this idea ?

She is throwing this shit at us just before the election so people can't notice the smell before they vote.

It's pandering pure pandering.

Fuck her for doing it.

I have problems with our current system.

But she is using people's distress to buy votes.

 

[Zincwarrior]

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.

Is the policy bad?

Harris Wants To Forgive Medical Debt​

By sticking your grandkids with the bills.

 

[Zincwarrior]

Why do you think you are entitled to have the government force people to pay your medical bills?

So they don't have a revolution and put you against the wall.

 

[BluesLegend]

Democrats love feeding off the "teat" of the government...

Not really, they are feeding off the lenders who loan them the borrowed money for this shit.

 

[HikerGuy83]

So they don't have a revolution and put you against the wall.

They can have the revolution.

Who get's put against the wall or mowed down........? Not so sure.

 

[HikerGuy83]

By sticking your grandkids with the bills.

You'd think they'd be a little ashamed with everything they are already porking them with.

Ask China.

 

[BluesLegend]

Nope, the Dem CULT is all about getting mine, screw everyone else.

 

[justoffal]

Correct! At inflated prices with interest, no less.

Most inefficient system in the world.

The debt structure here is like organized crime. However simply dismissing all of that debt out of hand will create an avalanche of bankruptcies.
A better idea is to ban all credit reporting on medical debt and limit the collection activities.

 

[HikerGuy83]

Ask China.

Ask them what ?

The point of this thread was not about the medical stuff as much as it is that she is pandering.

Great! That's what we want out of democracy. It's certainly better than the alternative.

Medical care should be free. Doctors should work for free. Nurses should work for free and hospitals should not charge for services.

That's about the size of it.
