A Trump idea for health insurance is gaining a following.

[schmidlap]

​

Trump asked,​

"Why can't Medicare simply cover everybody?"​

Medicare for All?​

With millions of Americans soon to lose their their insurance because of Congress failing to act, Trump's point is especially timely.

Progressives are pushing Medicare for All in some of the Democratic Party’s most competitive Senate primaries next year...​

​

In Maine, Graham Platner said he’s making Medicare for All a “core part” of his platform in his race against Gov. Janet Mills, the establishment pick who’s called for a universal health care program.​

​

In Illinois, Lt. Gov. Juliana Stratton and Rep. Robin Kelly are both championing the concept — and calling out rival Rep. Raja Krishnamoorthi for not fully embracing it.​

​

In Minnesota, Medicare for All has emerged as a key distinction between progressive Lt. Gov. Peggy Flanagan and moderate Rep. Angie Craig, who supports adding a public option to the Affordable Care Act rather than Medicare for All. Flanagan said she “absolutely” expects the policy to define the primary because “it doesn’t matter if I’m in the urban core, the suburbs or greater Minnesota — when I say I’m a supporter of Medicare for All, the room erupts.”​

​

And it’s become a flashpoint in Michigan, where physician Abdul El-Sayed, who wrote a book called Medicare for All: A Citizen’s Guide, is using his signature issue to draw a contrast with Rep. Haley Stevens and state Sen. Mallory McMorrow, who favor other approaches.​

​

Medicare for All — government-funded health coverage for every American — is “where we need to point to,” El-Sayed said in an interview. “And I think you can galvanize a winning coalition around this issue.”​

Government controlled healthcare is a nightmare. In England if you get a toothache, the dentist will make an appointment for you, in 3 months. Just use them or Canada as an example of what not to do...

Yup. And the MAGA idiots will fall for it.

 

[Seymour Flops]

Will we still need supplemental insurance to make up for the poor coverage of Medicare?

More importantly, will we be permitted to purchase "Medigap?"

Yup. And the MAGA idiots will fall for it.

It's only Socialism when the Democrats do it.

Just like farm subsidies.

None of it is Socialism.

 

[Anathema]

Medicare for All leaves me without insurance, and fairly quickly, DEAD… so I’m not interested.

 

[dblack]

None of it is Socialism.

Oh joy. The definition shell game! Listen, call it whatever you want. Make up a catchy new name. It won't smell any better. It won't stink any less.

That's your best response?

 

[dblack]

That's your best response?

Not really. As a response to socialists, I prefer "**** off and die", but I was feeling magnanimous.

 

[Dekster]

Trump isn't really the problem. It is the weakest Speaker of the House in history that allows the "freedom caucus" to ***** slap the entire party into submission rather than try to work with any democrats

No intelligent person would make that claim

And a little ignorant?

Whether he is pulling your finger yet again, Trump having asked

"Why can't Medicare simply cover everybody?"
is quite timely, actually.
​

Out of pocket insurance costs for people with ObamaCare plans are set to double on average with the expiration of the enhanced subsidies. While lawmakers may get an earful from constituents back home, it’s not clear if that will be enough to overcome the GOP’s 15-year opposition to the health law. ​

​

After a decade-and-a-half of GOP impotence in actually offering a plan it has been willing to vote on, and Trump repeatedly promising to repeal and replace 'ObamaCare' with "something terrific" that "covers everybody", try taking him and his proposal for universal coverage seriously for a change.

Let's consider Trump's "Medicare for Everybody!"

Let's seriously consider Trump's "Medicare for Everybody!

Show me the video of him saying that.

But first, answer a few questions about you Medicare for all idea:

Will we be allowed to buy supplemental insurance to make up for the gaps in Medicare?

Why does Medicare have gaps?
