Healthcare for all would cost $32 TRILLION over 10 years.

[EdwardBaiamonte]

So I can’t put a link on this because I was just watching this on TV during a panel discussion.

So what they said was that 32 trillion sounds like a lot unless you look at the big picture. If you take all the money spent now to insurance companies and take the money that is used for eyeglasses and hearing aids and all that other kind of stuff and put it all together and then, in its place, healthcare for everyone, the estimated cost is $32 trillion over 10 years.

But the savings would be trillions.

So what they were saying was that over the next 10 years we’re going to spend way more than 32 trillion anyway.

I’m not sure that’s accurate. If we just follow the GOP plan of let the fukers die, then we will probably save some money.

Depending on how many Americans die, potentially we could save a lot of money. Thank God the rich ones will be OK.

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.

Unemployment compensation for simply being unemployed is more market friendly.

Special Ed is it again: "capitalistic price and quality controls" - LOL

 

[EdwardBaiamonte]

: "capitalistic price and quality controls" - LOL

but the liberal was afraid to say why its laughable. What did the liberal learn from his fear.

Most of the civilized world has universal healthcare, maybe the US is just too stupid to figure it out.

Six of the most notable countries without universal health care are Muslim and two are the largest in economies in Africa, SA and Nigeria. Are you suggesting they are "uncivilized"?

That wasn't the question. Are Muslim and black countries uncivilized?

First off they always lie about the costs---
Secondly if free---people would waste more
Three the scammers would run with it...

Stop expecting the taxpayers to carry you around.

That isn't what he said or even implied.

 

[there4eyeM]

Every time there is this discussion of "cost" for healthcare it seems to be forgotten that we already pay for it now. The cost is there. The question is humanely providing it at the best price. France, for example, has healthcare at least as good as the U.S at only a little more than half the cost per person served.

Stop allowing big pharma and lobbyists to lead us around.

Yet it works in so many successful countries that have a healthy workforce and high standard of living.

Sorry. I don't want someone like Donald Trump in charge of my health care.

This is precisely what I was talking about, you make it too easy.

It's single payer, private delivery not government health care.

Nope, you want someone you trust and love.

LOL - of course. My bad.
