Progressive House Democrats will unveil their much-hyped "Medicare for All" legislation Wednesday, providing the most detailed blueprint yet for how they would upend the health care system to guarantee coverage for every American — a long-sought progressive dream that is already shaping the Democratic race to challenge President Donald Trump.
The legislation comes amid a furious debate within the Democratic Party over the scale of its health care ambitions, pitting a vocal progressive base eager to make Medicare for All a defining 2020 issue against its more wary moderate establishment.
Still, several Democratic presidential contenders have embraced Medicare for All as a political rallying cry over the past year, as polls showed growing public support for universal health coverage and a broader leftward shift among Democratic voters. But aside from Sen.
Did the left forget that we are not a socialist country! In order to pay for this they would have to tax everyone heavily. Not just the “rich”. Even if they doubled the tax income yearly it wouldn’t pay for this.
Insane!
Comment on last tweet concerning SS. The 20 cents on dollar assumes you live to 95. The average American only lives to 78 (think about that) & it's non transferable. Your spouse can get it if you die, but she then loses hers. Biggest scam played on Americans in the last century.
See previous tweet. We discovered 44 years too late that the government is wholly incapable of managing fiscal programs. Social Security is the same way. You will get back 20 cents on the dollar over your lifetime. Government should be restricted to regulation and oversight only!
Ask people on Medicare how great it is! You pay into the system for 44 years & when you go on Medicare it costs more than private insurance! You have to share 20% of the cost and pay Part B, D and Plus premiums. Doesn't cover dental or VSP. What did we pay for the last 44 years?
Democrats are the party of socialism
Waiting to find out where the money is coming from? That’s the first question. Then there’s if it sounds too good to be true......
I just don’t understand why more people don’t think this is idiotic.
Absolutely! Let’s give an incompetent government run by incompetent people more control over our lives. They want everyone dependent on them. Keep in mind—it’s not their money and they are not concerned about your well being. Just power.
Two years out from a presidential election. Time to start promising free stuff.
I have to say Medicare fore all sounds great. As. US citizen Living in Canada free US health insurance sounds great. It will be the first time I get anything from the US government. FATCA free IRS
We still have 95% of Obamacare. Is it not good enough?
In other words, it a half assed unfinished proposal with none of the hard work done.
“Republicans maintain that the system that would cost taxpayers tens of trillions of dollars...” a Trump presidency as already added 4.78 trillion alone and all he’s accomplished is a government shutdown and a lot of golf time at Mar-a-lago.
But we have Obamacare! The great savior of healthcare.
Who wants medicaid? Seriously why on earth would we trust the government with our healthcare. Democrats just voted to murder living babies. Imagine what they would do controlling everyone’s healthcare. No thanks
And how much is that going to cost again?....
$92 Trillion. Bend over taxpayers ... DemocRATS are looking at you.
Please,we learned our lesson already with failed Obamacare.”You get to keep your doctor,blah,blah...”.NO MORE LIES.realDonaldTrump foxandfriends
Americans don’t want Medicare until we’re Seniors! TheDemocrats
It will be cheaper than the current system and everyone will be covered. What will be missing is a bunch of moneychangers skimming profits at every level. Insurance and Pharma lobbies are terrified of people power.
You can’t be that Stupid but you are? AGAINST the American citizens! Leave the USA 🇺🇸 Progressive/Socialist Democrats
