Health care for all (Medicare for all) would be cheaper and better. It would replace the convoluted socialist system we have now with a simple more efficient socialist system. Then we could require published prices and higher copays until we had capitalistic price and quality controls.

That seems the be the latest talking point from the leftist. They talk about it all the time. Problem is when you ask them how they are planning on paying for it they don't want to talk about that.

Undoubtedly!

I was on this bandwagon well before it became fashionable. Before some on this forum were born, and that's not an exaggeration.

Holy cow! We actually agree on something! Oh frabjous day Calloo! Callay!


Now the question is how it's paid for, and that's where it gets trickier. Controlling cost will be a critical component.

Bernie is a communist so in the end everyone ends up very very poor if not starving to death. Ever heard of Cuba/Florida, East/West Germany? We have already run that experiment, 120 million died, but because our liberals are so perfectly illiterate we have to do it over and over again.

yes under capitalism a business can only survive with best price and quality. If you doubt it start a business with high prices and low quality. Can the liberal predict what would happen?

Your posts illustrate an astounding, unique and complete misunderstanding of politics in general.:roll:

Judging from your postings to date, you're simply not qualified to speak on the subject, AT ALL, yet, here you are....:roll:

but as a typical liberal you are very afraid to say why. What did we learn from your fear? Ever see a conservative have to run from a debate?

If so why are you so afraid to present your best example? What did we learn from your liberal fear?

Why does everyone have to be on Medicare? If people have coverage, why cant they stay on it. If people have pre-existing conditions, let them go on Medicare. Whats wrong with that?

You imaginings have taught you nothing clearly. I have no desire to speak about subjexcts with someone who believe false information off the top. Why bother? You're steeped in ignorance and you show it off here, go for it. I just don't care is all, it's just interesting to watch the depths of the insanity from time to time.

Obviously if true you would not be so afraid to present your best example and look really smart? What did we learn from your liberal fear? Ever see a conservative who has to run from a debate?

Notice the way liberalism looks legitimate when presented by the MSM but when pressed to explain it you immediately see how worthless and ignorant it is?

Yes, You CONSTANTLY run from debates while telling yourself you're not by spouting all the nonsense and bull**** in your posts. You run from debates with your lies and propaganda, and I can't bring myself to care enough to comment. You take this as validation? You really should get a life.

It's very wrong because it does not address the issue which is about improving price and quality as per OP.
