Bernie Sanders: We Will Raise Taxes On Anyone Making Over $29,000 To Fund Government Health Care

I couldn't agree more. But the sheep will never understand it. Medicare is barely sustainable now. They use employee contributions via Medicare deductions, and FICA--the second highest tax out of your paycheck.

So they get into power, and even with an all Democrat government, tell certain members--those nearly at retirement age or in a very safe Democrat districts to vote against it. Then they can say they tried. But the truth is, they don't want Medicare for all either. They want Medicare for all to get into power. Then when it fails to pass, the MSM will help them out by publishing it was all the Republicans fault, even though they had no majority in the House or Senate. I mean......they are still blaming Republicans for the huge failure of Commie Care.
I think both sides have been responsible for the major failure in Obamacare, higher premiums. Democrats deluded themselves that the mandate and subsides would bring premiums down. They were wrong. Republicans are responsible for keeping premiums high by refusing to pass Democrat efforts in increase subsidies and instead repealing the mandate which just ma the problem worse.

Congress, neither republican nor democrat has any taste for another healthcare reform. Republicans want to do away with Obamacare and democrats want to fix it.

Republicans had nothing to do with it. Every single one voted against it. What Democrats are doing is blame shifting. If it was a success, they'd never stop talking about how great it was and Republicans wanted nothing to do with it. But now that we see it was a failure, they are trying to pin the blame on Republicans.

Getting rid of the mandate was one of the best things Republicans ever did. Nobody who lives in a free country should be forced to buy anything the government demands. The Democrats are always talking about how they are for the poor and middle-class, but if you don't buy their healthcare plan, they keep your income tax refund, and most of the people that can't afford it need that money the most.

I find it very amusing that a republican congress who had sworn to repeal Obamacare could not do it, even when they controlled both houses and the oval office. Of course, everyone knows the truth, they had nothing to offer to replace it. And rather than repealing Obamacare and being saddled with a crash in the healthcare sector, they repealed the mandate hoping that would satisfy their supporters. However, what they really did is join democrats in pushing healthcare premiums higher convincing more Americans that Medicare for All would be a better plan than Obamacare or the nothing plan from Republicans.

Which only goes to show you how difficult it is to provide decent care for everybody. Our healthcare system is loaded with piles of paperwork from the government in order to make it work. It's not that we need ten thousand regulations, but we have to give bureaucrats something to do.

If you have a weak, unstable building, you don't add another floor to it. It has to be ripped down to the footer and rebuilt the proper way. That was the idea of getting rid of Commie Care. It didn't work for most people. The lie about the ACA is in the very first letter--Affordable.
It's not difficult to provide decent healthcare for all if we understand that health is central to human happiness and well-being. Economic productivity as well as all human accomplishments is dependent on the health of the people. Your health, the health of your family, your neighbors, and people you don't know effects you. The average American spends more money on entertainment and eating at restaurants than they spend on healthcare.

I would like to think that employers are truly concern about the long term health of their employees but today with the high rate of turnover of personnel and short term focus on earnings, I serious doubt healthcare of employees has very high priority.

I have never been a fan of employer provided insurance because it is not portable, the employee has little or no voice in it's selection, and employer/employee contributions can change at anytime. However, large employers have far more buying power than the individual. They can negotiate far better premiums than the individual. What I would like to see is the end to employee provided insurance and the rise of group insurance offered by organizations other than employers such financial service groups, fraternal groups, religious groups, trade associations, community service groups, and even groups organized for the purpose of providing group insurance.

Here's the problem with that, you're still paying for your insurance with after-tax money. As a benefit, it's something you don't have to spend your after-tax money on.

For most people, if you have to pay outright for your insurance, you will have to make spending cuts in other places, and taking that after-tax money out of circulation is not good for our economy.

And the first step towards that is ending the tax exemption for "benefits".
 
Then why didn't they make the improvements before implementing the plan?
No one knew what improvements were needed until the plan was implemented. By then, republicans were fighting to repeal the plan and and blocking democrats attempts to fix it.

Obamacare was not really a failure. It just did not delivery everything promised. It eliminated prexisting conditions so insurance companies had to provide insurance regardless of serious illnesses. It eliminated junk insurance that allow insurance companies to sell plans that paid for low cost common medical care but failed to provide healthcare for really serious problems. It eliminated long waiting periods, up to two years of employment in some cases, and many other rather deceptive practices in the insurance industry. It required insurance companies to provide standardize benefits, making insurance easy to understand and compare. It added a lot of preventive care and provided the largest increase ever in mental health and substance abuse coverage, which was long overdue. And lastly, it increased the number insured.

It's primary failure was high cost to the insured. Insurance companies were promised subsides to keep prices low and a mandatory requirement for insurance designed increase number of customers. Obama was not able to increase subsidies significantly without congress support and republicans blocked any attempt to do so. Many exemptions were granted to the mandatory requirement and finally republicans repealed it. The result was many insurance companies exited the market in areas of the country where competition was badly needed. Needless to say premiums went up making the insurance even less affordable.

If congress had increased subsidies and maintained a mandate that everyone have insurance, rates would have been much lower and the cost to government far less than Medicare for All.

It's ironic that republican work to destroy Obamacare, a healthcare system far less socialist that most healthcare plans in the world, has created a large demand for Medicare for All, a plan far more socialist and a far bigger hit on government revenue.
Obamacare was an epic failure that gutted our healthcare system and caused the huge spike in costs we see today.
But I hope Democrats run on it.
More likely they will run on Medicare for All. After republicans succeeded in blocking all attempts by democrats to increase subsidies and completion, you are going to to get Medicare for All, the next step toward socialized medicine.

I don't see how when there's no reasonable way to fund it. Most Americans know that once you introduce a social program, you're stuck with it, just like we are with Commie Care today.

I won't say that there is no support for it. Employers dealing with the cost of rising health insurance bills, individuals forced on the program because DumBama robbed them of their employer benefits, and even people that have always funded their own, are pretty sick of dealing with it, and just wish they didn't have to any longer.

Whether you tax the rich, tax the middle-class, it's going to have a major economic impact on this country, and unlike the past, not be reversible.
The Medicare for All program can easily be sold to the public because they believe once the law is passed everybody will be moved to the current Medicare system. That will not happen because the current Medicare program is supported by the Medicare Trust Funds built on contributions from past employees and being supplemented by contributions from current employers, employees, benefices and the government. Medicare for All is a universal coverage system fully funded by the government. will never pass congress, republican or democrat but it will sound good to the public sick of paying outlandish premiums every year and getting practically no benefits.

No it isn't. You are full of crap.

I couldn't agree more. But the sheep will never understand it. Medicare is barely sustainable now. They use employee contributions via Medicare deductions, and FICA--the second highest tax out of your paycheck.

So they get into power, and even with an all Democrat government, tell certain members--those nearly at retirement age or in a very safe Democrat districts to vote against it. Then they can say they tried. But the truth is, they don't want Medicare for all either. They want Medicare for all to get into power. Then when it fails to pass, the MSM will help them out by publishing it was all the Republicans fault, even though they had no majority in the House or Senate.

The Democrats are always talking about how they are for the poor and middle-class, but if you don't buy their healthcare plan, they keep your income tax refund, and most of the people that can't afford it need that money the most.
I find it very amusing that a republican congress who had sworn to repeal Obamacare could not do it, even when they controlled both houses and the oval office. Of course, everyone knows the truth, they had nothing to offer to replace it. And rather than repealing Obamacare and being saddled with a crash in the healthcare sector, they repealed the mandate hoping that would satisfy their supporters. However, what they really did is join democrats in pushing healthcare premiums higher convincing more Americans that Medicare for All would be a better plan than Obamacare or the nothing plan from Republicans.

Well, John McCain was a twat.

That is why McCain voted like he did. Call it immature if you wish but if Trump hadn't been a dick towards him, he doesn't vote the way he did.
McCain was deep State POS and therefore opposed Trump.
 
I think both sides have been responsible for the major failure in Obamacare, higher premiums. Democrats deluded themselves that the mandate and subsides would bring premiums down. They were wrong. Republicans are responsible for keeping premiums high by refusing to pass Democrat efforts in increase subsidies and instead repealing the mandate which just ma the problem worse.

Congress, neither republican nor democrat has any taste for another healthcare reform. Republicans want to do away with Obamacare and democrats want to fix it.

Republicans had nothing to do with it. Every single one voted against it. What Democrats are doing is blame shifting. If it was a success, they'd never stop talking about how great it was and Republicans wanted nothing to do with it. But now that we see it was a failure, they are trying to pin the blame on Republicans.

Despite the claims to the contrary nothing has changed with Trump.

1 man in 3 years. IF it can ever be reversed it will take generations or a Civil War.

You have to actually try to do anything.

Deep State isn’t impeaching him for the 4th time in 3 years because he’s not trying.

Carpenter hoped that, with some of the exposure of this win, his family can score another miracle victory, as his niece Mannon has been diagnosed with Spinal Muscular Atrophy, and the family is raising funds in hopes of financing treatment.



“I just hope one more miracle can come through, the last miracle I’ll ask in my life, at least I hope. That little girl back home. It’s one of those impossible deals, but with enough people we can make it happen. I’ve got a little niece back home. Mannon’s Miracle, we need everyone’s help and support. I don’t care if it’s two bucks. It costs $2.2 million for this medicine. I promise you we can’t afford that. We’ve got insurance but it won’t cover it, so what is someone supposed to do? All we can do is pray and hope as a racing family we can make dreams come true just like I made this dream come true.”


West Virginia Driver Scores Upset Gateway Win

Left begging for money and hoping for a miracle. Not many get this kind of platform to beg for help for a sick kid either.

This is our health care system. Would a stoppage of a few hours of bombing cover this?
