Ocasio-Cortez defends $40 trillion price tag for progressive proposals

[McRocket]

'Progressive Democrat Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez on Sunday defended what could accrue to a $40 trillion price tag for progressive policy programs, including Medicare for all, over the next 10 years, citing the success in some European countries that have similarly developed health care models.

CNN "State of the Union" anchor Jake Tapper asked where that estimated $40 trillion -- which would include the costs for Medicare for all, jobs guarantees, student loan forgiveness, free college programs, paid family leave, and Social Security expansion -- would come from. Medicare for all would be the costliest initiative, coming in at about $32 trillion, according to the Mercatus Center, a free market-oriented think tank at George Mason University, as well as an earlier study by the Urban Institute's Health Policy Center.'

Two thoughts.

1) Dang...she is good looking (especially for a politician) and seems to have her heart in the right place.

2) SHE IS OUT OF HER MIND on this.

$4 TRILLION per year for 10 years?!?

Now, I personally do not think Medicare will cost that much (about $10,000 per person? It only costs about $5,000 per person in Canada) - though it will still cost TONS. But I at least get that part. I personally am for full healthcare coverage for children. But it HAS to be two-tiered - full Medicare for the poor and private healthcare for everyone else.

But just the rest will add $800 billion to the budget every year.

There is no frigging way she will be able to raise that just through more taxes on the rich and higher corporate taxes...not without driving business out of America.

This is progressivism at it's worst...nice, pie-in-the-sky ideas but no remote ideas as to how to pay for them.

And in the above linked interview...she gave no clue WHATSOEVER of how she was going to pay for it (in remotely practical ways).

Medicare for all will not cost $32 trillion

Money formerly spent by employers and employees will be diverted

 

[SassyIrishLass]

LOL go for it demoquacks....just remember what happened in the 2010 midterms....the shellacking of all shellackings

 

[Natural Citizen]

It figues it'd be something like that.

Let's end the drug war;

we really just need a fifteen dollar an hour minimum wage and unemployment compensation for being naturally unemployed in our at-will employment States, along with Industrial Automation to help with social costs.

That what we calling redistribution of wealth these days? You know, a tax?

Where have I said that? My position has covered that, previously. Red herrings are no substitute for a work ethic from the Age of Iron, right winger.

It seems to be creating some jobs. You know where you have to go to work? They pay you on a schedule after taxes....
