Why Medicare For All Won't Work

You again refuse to say why you oppose security measures for voting which will eliminate the possibility of undetected illegal voting taking place.

You haven't asked me a thing about security measures, so what sort of answer do you expect? Are you feeling ok?
 
The cost of educating doctors is completely separate from the costs of healthcare.

Look at Saint Luke's Health Network in the Lehigh Valley. It has to continuously gobble up small providers, open new clinics, and 24 hour emergency care centers, basically every 10 miles, so it doesn't have enough "profit" on its books to ensure it continues to operate as a "non-profit" entity.

Doctor salaries are one issue; administrative costs are an even bigger issue, as is the artificial inflation of -everything- and the moral superiority the health networks have over evil insurance companies, who are unable to portray themselves to the public as being victimized by strong arming networks that have huge bargaining chips; SIZE.

Even if a degree cost NOTHING at all, Doctors would still have a claim to be paid very well.

However, there is no reason at all that a Doctor should own a $2.4m house in the hills, a $1.5m house in Florida, a yacht, etc, etc, etc.

It's only in our hubris do we sit here and say helping people should enable such massive wealth.

Well, most doctors don't have that and pretty much no doctor can even do much of anything until their student loans are paid off. Yes, I get it, socialists like you believe no one should be rich.
 
No, wars are fought for global hegemony and self-interest; the 'spheres of interest' thing and not against 'evil'. 'Evil' is the language of comic book heroes and villains. Warmongers are evil by default. Why do you think the Iraq war was fought? For oil. Why was a democracy in Iran overthrown? For oil. Why has America got such a hard-on for Venezuela? For oil.

Hillary encouraged her fellow lawmakers to vote to go to war with Iraq because of oil? I don't think most people have been saying that. Just you.
 
I did my part in the Army during the Vietnam war. I am in favor of fighting for truth, for righteousness, for freedom and for everything good in a civilized society.

Which has nothing to do with why America went to war in Vietnam.

Most blacks are offended when dummass democrats claim blacks have problems getting IDs. Almost every black in the nation has an ID and knows how to get one if he doesn't.

We didn't discover the lies we were sold as justification at the time of the invasion.
 
You want to interfere in the free market in those areas????

LOL. You guys just have a one track mind. I never said anything about interfering and, no one believes in a 100% totally free market. You just prove my point that no one even wants to look at why healthcare costs are too high. Let's just screw all of the providers.

More opinionated and unsubstantiated crap? You're doing well, keep it up.

Then tell us how to fix the problem exactly in those areas

Several key political leaders said they were trying to keep communists from overrunning the far east and thereby afterward threatening America in their unchecked drive to take over the whole world. Americans were also sympathetic to the cries of the poor Vietnamese facing communist brutality and begging for the rest of the world to intervene to stop the communists.
 
As I said, useless, you probably had to google the term.

It is rather useless debating with a socialist. Yes, I get it, you want socialism. Good luck with that. If it doesn't work out here you can move to Venezuela. I bet they have free medical care for their citizens.

Yeah we lost that war

Poor stupid Hillary and her poor stupid gullible democrat fellows who went to war with Iraq because Saddam had violated the terms of the cease fire from the first Gulf war, while all her supposedly wiser supporters in the democrat party claim it was bad intelligence coming out of congressional intelligence sources.

No one has looked at it. That is my point. No one ever looks at it. I can't answer my own questions because no one has ever looked at why these things cost so much. With the left it is all about screwing the providers. They refuse to even look at why provider's costs are so high.

Why not just call everyone a socialist? I mean, crying wolf has worked out for race hustlers so well; you're doing the same thing.

Just can it. Our current and prior systems are untenable. You guys are losing this discussion.

Even you haven't looked at it. The only way to reduce those costs is to cut money from those people. You just dont want it cut from the medical staff and cut them instead.


I say cut it all
 
Thank you Bill Ayers, the leftist "Hell no we won't go" hippie drug addicts, and anti-American politicians, reporters and college employees.

Yeah we lost that war

Nonsense. All of it.
 
For free government healthcare to work the young and healthy will have to bear the bulk of the cost burden. Old people don't work and many don't have money. Sick people don't work and cannot pay for their massive care needs. Illegals are not allowed to work and they are multiplying by the thousands. The cost burden must fall on the young healthy American taxpayers if universal free healthcare is to succeed.


No, the cost will be spread among all taxpayers, according to ability to pay, as taxation has always been legislated.

But Dems, if allowed to win the House, the Senate, and the Presidency, will shift the burden away from the middle class and more onto the extremely affluent. Repubs, if allowed to continue, will give more tax breaks to the rich, and that will put the burden on the rest of us via inflation, the inevitable long range result of deficits, which are currently careening out of control at a rate hitherto unseen in history.

FYI, undocs do work an they do pay taxes.
 
yet they didn't that is a lie as well not that you care about facts.
according to a DOJ study that i have already linked in this thread only about 4%
of all bankruptcy claims where caused by medical debt.

the 50% and 60% number that keeps getting thrown around was a lie purported by warren and other leftist scum bags
because facts and honesty are not at the top of their list. at the top of their list is to overthrow our nation and turn us into
another failed socialist state.

i cited the flaws of their study in this thread as well not that you care about facts.

DOJ studying bankruptcy? Wrong department but I'd be glad to take a look at your research. By the way, comparing percentages and actual numbers can be a waste of time. Rereading my post however, I do accept your point, I should have said the 630k had medical expenses as a part of their bankruptcy filing, not that the bankruptcies are due to medical expenses. But I guess you are okay with somewhere around 25k Americans declaring bankruptcy last year because of medical expenses. Be thankful you weren't one of them.

lol. I thought Capitalism was superior to anyThing socialists could muster? The whole Cold War was about Americans being incompetent at Capitalism.
 
Who can come up with a free healthcare plan that will cost taxpayers nothing? Why not just forget about healthcare plans and pass a law to force people not to get sick? That would make more sense than trying to take a deficit and spend thirty trillion dollars of it on universal healthcare.

Better solutions at lower cost. Or, is the right wing simply incompetent at Capitalism?

Hillary is rich, as are thousands of other democrats whose money is tied up in foundations, trusts, overseas accounts, and complicated investments where the money is safe from the IRS. Democrats always say they are going to pay for their tens of trillions of dollars in new spending with the hundreds of millions of dollars they plan to take from the rich if they can. That proves democrats are not good with finances.
