Bernie reintroduces Medicare For All with 15 co-sponsors, chairs Budget Committee Hearing "Medicare for All: Protecting Health, Saving Lives & Money"

[basquebromance]

122 members of the House support the same legislation, including 100 members of the House Progressive Caucus. it is an INTERNATIONAL EMBARASSMENT that in the richest country in the history of the world, 70 million are uninsured or underinsured

health care is a human right that all americans, regardless of income, are entitled to

Bernie also did an op-ed on FOX NEWS about the issue...full court press baby

68,000 Americans die each year because they cannot afford the health care they desperately need.

this is the 1st ever hearing about Medicare For All. thank you Bernie

Cigna CEO David Cordani made nearly $79 million in 2020, up from $13.4 million a year earlier. How about instead of millions of dollars going to CEO pay we instead spend it on covering more people and eliminating co-pays.

"Medicare for All" is just a misleading name for the bill. Its really "Medicare for None".

It doesn't have medicare premiums, or supplements, deductibles or donut holes. It basically cuts everyone out of the insurance racket except for the government who will determine everyone's income unless health care providers can somehow find a way to opt out of this atrocity.

 

[Mac1958]

I wonder if this is ACTUAL "Medicare (including free market Medicare Advantage and Medicare Supplements) For All" or if this is just Single Payer, dishonestly disguised by the Democrats (again) as "Medicare For All".

The pharmaceutical industry has 1500 paid lobbyists, made $50 billion last year, pays its executives huge compensation packages and is spending $100’s millions to defeat legislation to make drugs more affordable.

Would Medicare-for-all be expensive? Yes. But it would be significantly less costly than our current dysfunctional system

DId you think that perhaps Mr. Cordani in his position as CEO was able to successful cut costs enough to easily justify that income?

Here is your typical Odummer plan.....................1200 per month premium plus a 10k deductible....................That is amost spending 25,000 before first dollar coverage.....................Yep affordable......lololol

A huge expense like the mortgage pmnt and then you have to pay 10 more K?????

Graham: i welcome a vote on Medicare For All this year. if you want it to become law, why not vote on this?

Why would you think that money would be saved by this risky medical scheme?

I would think the exact opposite. People will feel entitled and grab as many medical services as they can. It would change the US medical system into a health care version of Old Country Fucking Buffet.

You need to talk to the Board of Directors. They set the compensation. The best are profit driven

Its the latter.

"Medicare for All" is just the name used to sell it to the people, and make it seem like something familiar.

He might have better luck to change the bill to age 50 and up. Dems have always tried to cut the sales of Med Adv and supplements. They wanted to cut the insurance industry out of ACA but could not. If they ever succeed hundreds of thousands of insurance people will either lose their jobs or since the workforce of sales people has an average age up there will retire. But not to worry his bill will go no where.

Bumblenuts will be along soon, lol.

Babies are in trouble because of the shortage of baby formula but democrat socialists introduce a billion dollar bill about medicare. Do democrats exist in the real world?

Psssssssttttt…….universal healthcare will piss away 79 million every 5 minutes.

This kind of thing sort of concerns me because of the advanced age of my long time physician who is 72. Presumably, it won't be too long until he hangs it up, will I even be able to find someone competent when he does?

Under Medicare for All, its questionable. Although I guess I should be ok if doctors are able to opt out, although it will cost me more.

Typically it is only after becoming very ill that patients realize that their insurance is riddled with holes. Even if you have coverage, unless you’re Elon Musk, you could be ONE illness or injury away from financial ruin.

20 hospitals shut down this year, 73 over the past decade, including 4 in Graham's South Carolina

If you stop allowing diseased illegals to come into this country and not have to pay for goods and services in the emergency room while overloading the system, then you could start bringing down the costs of healthcare. But it isnt about uninsured Obamacare, which those dumbfucks could be buying, it is about collapsing the system and then fucking everyone when they kill 6.5 billion people. Will you be one of those murdered? Stupid people always go first.
