Poll: Majority of Democrats and Republicans support Medicare for all

[Frankeneinstein]

For better or worse - like it or not, sooner or later - it looks like single payer will become a fact of life in America.

I first heard that claim as a kid in 1962

 

[Ray From Cleveland]

So by your own admission having government takeover healthcare was a bad idea, and now the solution is more government?

It was the biggest giveaway to private sector insurance companies ever.

And you're still deflecting.
.

That's the way the Democrats set it up. And what am I deflecting?

Why did the GOP lie to us for eight years?

They said they'd take care of it.
.

They didn't. You're just making that up. They said the wanted to get rid of Commie Care, but Trump was the only one that stated he had a better plan. He probably didn't, but what would be the point of even working on a plan if Democrats are going to stop it no matter what the plan is?

Oh come on. Even in here, every time I asked for specifics on the "plan", I was mocked.

Well, keep blaming the other guys, here it comes.
.

Nothing is coming. Keep dreaming though.

Trumpcare is simple: its just social darwinism.
aka, if you get sick, then just die.

Yeah support for something others foot the bill for is always popular but what the heck the so called one percent can pay for everything for everybody indefinitely

It's up there with the claims that...

The Second Coming of Christ would take place on Sept. 15, 1832
Hillary would be president in 2008..no 2016..no 2020....
All the oil would be consumed by 1973

throw in:
"a new ice age is coming"
" we will be on the metric system by the turn of the century"

I would like to have universal health care but I understand the drawbacks

If you rob Peter to pay Paul, the Paul's of your society generally have no objection.

In any medical system, you have good doctors and bad doctors; good hospitals and bad hospitals. If we had Medicare for all, then everybody would want to be treated by the good doctors and hospitals which can't be done. So then politics comes into play just like it did with ObamaCare.

They would have to assign medical care based on where you live. In most larger cities, that means Democrats would make that decision. Do you really believe that Democrats would have the upper earners go to those great facilities as they always have or would they send lowlifes there who predominantly vote Democrat?

In essence what that could mean is that those who pay the most in taxes get the lousiest care and those who pay the least get the best doctors and surgeons.

'A Reuters/Ipsos poll shows 85% of Democrats and 52% of Republicans support Medicare for all.

Why it matters: This single-payer system has divided the Democratic Party internally and gave Republicans a new way to attack Democrats in 2018. But this poll is the first to suggest that a majority of Americans on both sides of the aisle actually like this policy and that it could be a winning issue for candidates.

By the numbers: Two-thirds of Democratic nominees in 41 battleground House districts "want to expand the government’s role in healthcare," per Reuters.

• At least 70 House Democrats have joined the "Medicare for All" caucus, with more expected after the November midterms.
• And most House Dems support a Medicare for All bill, which has "six members of the Blue Dog caucus of fiscally conservative Democrats signing on as co-sponsors," Reuters notes.

Be smart: This policy is only going to get more attention as we head into the 2020 presidential election, when it will likely be a litmus test for Democratic candidates.'

Poll: Majority of Democrats and Republicans support Medicare for all

For better or worse - like it or not, sooner or later - it looks like single payer will become a fact of life in America.

If the republicans are going to make it legal for an insurance company to never sell a policy to anyone who the insurance company has found they have a preexisting condition then the government has an obligation to give those people a way to buy some sort of health care coverage.

Allowing people to buy into a public option for insurance is the only solution.

It's not fair to cut off all private health insurance coverage without giving those people another option.

But that's not what we're talking about here. Medicare for all means "all." Who is going to pay for all this great healthcare service? We are a nation of 20 trillion in debt.

Robert C. Koons: Trump should boldly embrace a conservative single-payer system

Here is a better idea.

 

[BrokeLoser]

if you morons think single payer is the future...

If the GOP keeps whistling past the graveyard, Single Payer is what we're going to get.

Unfortunately, the American Right is in its own little dreamworld right now and has lost the capacity to communicate.

Good people are done trying to reason with the unreasonable. Good people don’t negotiate and make deals with filth. Your party has officially lost all their shit. They’ll continue to grow their constituency among degenerate filth, illegals and barely legals, bottom feeders and lowlifes, pole puffers and men in dresses...but NOBODY truly legitimate wants any part of that disgusting, unAmerican group.

I say shit can everything and go with a single payer system. It's what we have for all praticular purposes.

Wow, chock full o' shallow, worthless platitudes, aintcha? The only thing you talk radio trained seals have is words. Empty rhetoric.

Your party lied for eight years about health care. You DIDN'T have a better way, as promised. As TRUMP promised. Over & over & over.

And when you got the power, when push came to shove, you caved and ran and hid and whimpered and shook like scared chihuahuas.

Go ahead, blame everyone else. Keep talking. That's shallow and worthless, too. "Good people". Too funny.

GOVERNMENT IS THE ONLY ANSWER!!!!

Not a single free thinker in the bunch

We spend more than any other country in the world and trail in every metric in the industrialized world.

When you spend the most money and get the worst results, you are doing it wrong.

 

[Two Thumbs]

Bankruptcy for all!

.
Uh, guy, most countries with single payer spend 8% of their GDP on health care and get better results than we do paying 17% of our GDP on it.

Medicare for all would save us money, as it would remove things like investor payouts and CEO salaries and marketing expenses.

And all the hospitals and clinics would go bankrupt because Medicare refuses to pay for anything and reimbursements are pennies.

most docs won't even accept it and the wait time for those that do is very long.

i cant agree with that....im on Medicare and i have the same wait times i had before i had it...

wow, you must live in a really nice area.

Is this true? Because I think the majority of Republicans say "let them die" or "die quickly". Unless I have the base confused with the GOP elected leadership.

do you have anyone, a single republican or conservative actually saying that?

yep, that proves it, more government is your only answer.

no thought needed b/c the government told you that more government is better.

And if the doctors run too many tests or spend too much time treating your illness...the hospitals get fined millions during government Medicare linked audits.

government run hci will end with people not getting enough tests.

which is the opposite of what goes on now.


damn, imagine being forced, by the government to take certain meds, eat only approved meals and so on and on.


damn what a slope

That's exactly what would happen too. The only two things that keep us from total government servitude is energy and healthcare. Once government gains control over those two things, they will have the ability to control every American in the country.

People may not like insurance companies, but at least if you don't like one, you can choose another. People who are on government systems like my father can choose one or another. But once government takes over healthcare and you don't like it, there is nowhere else to go.

absolute tyranny is the only thing the left will now accept.

Um, no, what tells me more government is better is that every other country in the world has single payer, and they live longer and less of their babies die in infancy, while they spend half of what we do.

You know, measurable results.

that's factually not true.

but you knew that, b/c it's been explained to you countless times, yet you still repeat the same lie, over and over again.
