Medicare for All Divides Democrats but Might Unite the Nation

1. FYI- it's not our tax dollars. Not at the federal level. #LearnMMT, but it's #Medicare4AllOrBust xo Ohio

2. The corporate Democrats will never support Medicare for all. Even if their candidates say they are in favor of it, don’t believe them! They’ll say anything they think will get your vote. They are liars. Like Obama and Clinton. Liars!

3. If Sanders ran as an Independent, he’d win. But he won’t get the Democratic Party nomination, the Corporate Democrats fun the party and they’ll screw him again.

4. Medicare is in place. People love it. The insurance companies still have things sell to Medicare recipients. Is Medicare isn't perfect, ever hear of the donut hole,? It could be better but it works better than anything in place.

5. Those People that worked in All those closed merican factories Were'nt Guaranteed job training, pensions ,etc. "people" that went into the Insurance Hustle knew they were playing on peoples Fears to sustain themselves. But ! I guess they Think those insurance minions will vote their cushy existence away.

6. Healthcare is not a right. Blasphemy, I know. However, it is a compassionate and reasonable expectation that people will do everything they can to help those around them. We do not need to be forced to do this. We must not be forced to do this. If your neighbor needs help, gather your community together and help them. Maintain good family relationships, as close family members are some of the best help in handling collateral complications when someone is hospitalized. Be willing to save for emergencies and accept responsibility for your health by diet, exercise, and knowing family medical history so you can plan ahead.
   Otherwise… Government intervention has been the single greatest contributing factor in increased healthcare and education costs. Don’t get me wrong, insurance companies can be real scumbags and should be abolished except for catastrophic coverage. But doctors charge more because insurance only covers part of the bill, and insurance charges more than they need because state subsidies only cover part of their bill. And as long as the state keeps offering to cover the difference insurance companies have no incentive to keep costs low. Lastly, if you force a drug company to charge low prices, say goodbye to new and better medications. The US pretty much subsidizes medical research for the rest of the world. Comparable countries that enforce price control are only able to do so because we pay for it. I have to pay for it, but I’m happy to when my family members need treatment for cancer and have the best research institutions readily available.

7. still bad numbers and americans are very brainwashed.

8. take the ball point pen from who is clicking it.

9. But there are many proposal on Capitol Hill for Medicare for All. It’s not all the same thing. There are some plans that protect Medicaid waiver for people with disabilities. Bernie’s new bill adds those protections. I encourage you to deepen the analysis of this issue. You’re right it’s a critical issue but there are levels to it. And there are other proposals that don’t articulate these protections.

10. The considerable difference in the percentages between “Medicare for All” and “Socialized Medicine” clearly shows how successfully the plutocrats’ psyop has been on the public; it’s just another version of the Pavlov Dog Study. That Pavlovian Conditioning works very well at manipulating the gullible. And you have to thank Edward Bernays for applying this strategy early last century to the general population on behalf of the plutocrats and their government. So don’t let the plutocrats compromise the education system any further; the people can’t afford the handicap. The plutocrats (e.g. Rockefeller) have already transformed much of the educational process from “how to learn” to “what to learn”; don’t let them destroy it even further. Or the people will be competing on the same intellectual level as robots.

11. People are very confused, because they are very ignorant… Ignorance, about such simple issues, in the age of information, is a choice… People that choose to be ignorant, are very stupid… It ain't no Rocket Science…

12. Having spent years in the insurance industry, I can tell you that the insane patchwork of private plans complicates insurance claim analysis to the point where doctors offices spend half their time trying to fill out forms according to the zillion plans being sold, always trying to game it so they get paid for care. On the other side of that battle, those plans are devised to guarantee profit, not guarantee care. In the middle is the doctor and the patient. That's messed up. M4A would greatly simplify billing for patients, for doctors, and for claims analysts. It would also greatly simplify the patchwork of government services trying to help a little here and and a littler there where the other services missed. Who needs private insurance and Medicaid and CHIP and so on, when one setup does it all?

13. Who knows maybe US fire departments will start charging premiums like health care to pull people out of deadly fires?
    Fireman:
    "Excuse me, sir, do you have the premium?
    Victim:
    "I can't reach my wallet."
    Fireman:
    "Oh well, enjoy the after life, buddy."

14. The people that run student loans,The federal govt and have ran students into debt,the federal govt, the last 10-12 years,are now being encouraged,encouraged to run the nations healthcare,I live in the worlds dumbest country,this has to be out there,how do people not know this,or are they that dumb,"thanks Obama and democrats you made student loans so much better lets give you the nations health care system,yeaaahhhhh that's a great idea" wtf are you people thinking,or are you?

15. AmeriCare: Better-than-Medicare… for all! #EverybodyIn #NobodyOut #UniversalHealthCoverage

16. I hope they win this. The USA, the population, NEEDS it. I imagine that it's a majority who need it and that it surely is a serious majority or number of Americans. For readers who haven't yet watched/listened to the video, I'll include the link.

17. It turns out that we actually can have nice things. – #MMT

18. We can afford to pay for Medicare forever but not a one time reparation payment for descendents of slavery/Jim crow?

19. It's hilarious they're talking about how much everyone loves their insurance company. Like, have they ever talked to a real person?
    There are good reasons no one likes the insurance companies. They provide an absolutely essential service, at least for people who are not poor enough to qualify for Medicaid. Yet their profit is derived from making healthcare more expensive.
    Health insurance companies have wildly distorted costs, because none of them control enough market share to control costs, and probably more importantly, they have little incentive to try to control costs because in aggregate, the more expensive healthcare costs are, the larger their profit margins.
    Most people seem to agree there needs to be a public option for essential healthcare, so that insurance companies are no longer positioned to profit from providing essential services.
    If people want to keep private insurance for any reason for non-essential service, it shouldn't matter, but private insurance should not be subsidized or mandated like it is now under Obamacare. These plans to subsidize insurance are terrible.

20. These tells me that we have many many dumb and stupid citizens concerning the medical working system. Because the workers will not be ralking care should not be the concern, that is a stupid question period. Medical Care for all will work and all workers will get employed

21. Government can't run the health systems they are currently tasked to maintain. Why would we want the government in charge of all healthcare?

22. hey! make t-shirts listing medicare-for-all opponents i.e. hillary clinton with a circle crossed out or some whiny republican and give the profits to the insurance industry ceo's, just to be fair.

23. medicare will be privatized and this will subsidize the private insurance companies just like Obamacare. Bush tried to privatize it in 2004.

24. I am for guaranteed medical care for those whom can't afford it. I am also for a basic income for those who earn less than $100,000. Warren Buffett doesn't need either one nor should he recieve it. He can buy an insurance company.
