It would take several pages to tell how it happened, BUTT lets just say that I would put top marginal tax rates at the 74 percent pre gipper rate.
I would also take the cap off of social security AND repeal BOcare and replace it with Medicare for all.Hope that helps.
You would replace a bad program with a program that's already going broke? How would that work?
You do know that Medicare only pays part of the bill for their patients, don't you? Hospitals and doctors make up the loss when they get cash or private insured people. Take private insured patents out of the mix, and you have closed down facilities which happened so many times in the past. It's one of the reasons our health insurance increased so much the last couple of decades.
Where did you get this s***?
“You would replace a bad program with a program that's already going broke? “?
Actually, According to the Medicare trustees report that the filed in 2015 “Medicare’s Hospital Insurance trust fund will remain solvent that is, able to pay 100 percent of the costs of the hospital insurance coverage that Medicare provides through 2030. “
as for as “Medicare only pays part of the bill for their patients.“
YES! that’s one of the reasons that UnitedHealth Group CEO’s Stephen J. Hemsley received $66.13 million in compensation last year.
UnitedHealth Group healthcare sells supplement insurance to seniors as well as Medicare Advantage insurance, a bundling of plans Part A (Hospital Insurance) and Medicare Part B (Medical Insurance) and sometimes plan D(prescription drug coverage (Part D)under the banner of AARP.
I don't know what that has to do with our social systems heading for a brick wall.
Yeah, Democrats tell us not to worry. Our social safety nets are doing just fine. Sit back and don't pay any attention.
Well if they are doing just fine, why don't they pay the entire bill? And don't worry about what some CEO makes, worry more of the annual rip-offs that take place in Medicare and Medicaid.

Doctors Refuse To Accept Medicare Patients

Doctors Refuse To Accept Medicare Patients
Number of doctors refusing to see Medicare patients triples in one year
Number of doctors refusing to see Medicare patients triples in one yearThe moment you allow government to deny property rights to one group, they will be able to deny property rights to any group, including yourself. Look at Soviet Russia. Everyone thought that the communists would only take the property of the super wealthy..... when that wealth was gone, they started confiscating everything else. And when that was gone, forced labor in Gulags, was the natural result.
Same thing is happening in Venezuela. First they confiscated major international corporation property, then local corporations property, and now they are confiscating anything they want. When that runs out, who knows how far the socialist government in Venezuela will go.
I know people who are related to the wealthy class in Venezuela.
We've discussed Chavez on several occasions.
Their take:
What goes on there is not reported as it is.
They actually support what has happened and say that it has lifted many people out of poverty.
I am not defending it.
I am saying that I have counter claims from people who have relatives who are living it who say it is not what the press says it is.
I have to agree. I was in Venezuela last time in 2004, was seeing chavez using the country's resources to help some of the poorest people in that country. You can see the hillside shacks as you fly in to caracas. Some of the poorest people in western hemisphere. I was looking into buying real estate at the time. Some of the business class, realtors, agreed at least somewhat with what he was trying to do. We (we, meaning bushcheney and the american oil companies,) hated chavez because he increased the costs of oil extraction by foreign countries. Less profits for oil companies is what the hatred for chavez has been.
Total complete bullshit. We hated Chaves because he was a socialist dictator. Socialism is the reason for those hillside shacks. What Venezuela needs is more capitalism, not a fucking POS like Chavez and his replacement.
You're so right. I should have contacted an expert on Venezuela like you before I posted my take on the situation there. Although, those shacks were there long before Chavez came on the scene and the country was ruled by an oligarchy.
