Let’s start with an ad put up by One Nation America, the Rove group. The ad features a series of unhappy-looking ordinary people holding up placards naming common medical treatments and the ostensible delays in obtaining them. This argument is quintessential cherry-picking. It’s true that Canadians wait longer than Americans for some treatments, but it’s also true that residents of the Netherlands, Switzerland, Britain, France and Germany have shorter waits than Americans.
hiltzikm And we have Democratic candidates helping them
hiltzikm 'Medicare for All' is just the new euphemism for the nationalized health care Americans have repeatedly said they don't want. The left Never Gives Up.

hiltzikm Where were these watch dogs when Obama Screwed us over with the Socialist program called Obama Care. CNN, Where the hell are your investigators? L.A. Times does not know shit about Journalism, However, you have all the innuendos and guess work.

hiltzikm Michael is a known far leftist dismissed
hiltzikm That may be true. It’s also the chief threat to quality care. Don’t believe me, just ask people who live in those countries you use as models.
hiltzikm 20% Nat'l sales tax , every American citizen gets the same basic plan , if you want a secondary , you can buy it ! Everybody has a stake , Everybody pays ?
hiltzikm Anyway, this piece was way too long, to say so very little. This guy won’t be writing many more pieces for the Times. Total garbage and so easy to pick apart.
hiltzikm Insurers?
hiltzikm I love how the author of this fairly useless article says that taxes under Sanders’ plan would be increased on rich and middle class, when a less costly Sanders plan in 2016 would have seen taxes go up on all. Poor who pay 0% would go up to 9-10%.
hiltzikm This is an op-ed yeah? I really hope so, but im prolly wrong.
hiltzikm
hiltzikm thank you for calling it out MedicareForAll It's only fair. HealthcareIsAHumanRight
hiltzikm 😂😂😂
hiltzikm I really resent the fact I’m being told that I must leave my amazing integrated plan with something else. Why am I not allowed to choose to keep my plan or opt into a public option?
hiltzikm The government runs the DMV, TSA, VA hospitals, and post office. Based on their poor services and wait times at those organizations, do we really want the government running our healthcare?
hiltzikm Naturally the entire industry profits from serving the sick; There's a published 'price list' ( my term) for most (or all) procedural work done by Doctors. Is any oversight done to control costs? Bills presented to Insurance Co's are mind boggling. Who advocates for the consumer?
hiltzikm 17 Los Angeles Times How many people have died since 2000 waiting to get Medicare after getting Social Security disability? Wait is normally 2 years and many people make too much for Medicaid.
hiltzikm 16 during appeals process.
hiltzikm 15 who have Social Security Disability. If Social Security Disability says person no longer is disabled and person appeals, person who should be able to get attorney for 25 percent of past due benefits and Social Security should hold the 25 percent from monthly check
hiltzikm 14 Medicare should start when person starts getting Social Security disability. Net discusses that when people 1st apply for Social Security Disability able to obtain an attorney for 25 percent of past due benefits. Social Security Disability conducts reviews on people
hiltzikm 13 Part of my plan for Social Security. People murdered in Puerto Rico by Trump, most Republicans in Congress who did not allow military to save lives way it could have - Operation VARSITY WW2 through humanitarian aid drops in Iraq when Obama President.
hiltzikm 12 Actuarial Note Number 159 May 2018 pdf GAO discussed Social Security Disability backlog in 2003 CBS discussed deaths While on Waitlist in 2008.
hiltzikm 11 Over 80,000 have died since 2003 while on waitlist for Social Security Disability because Congress stole over $2 Trillion from Social Security to pay for war and other things while refusing to employ enough Administrative Law Judges. Info is from Social Security
hiltzikm 10 negotiate prices even when drugs exist because of federal government research.
hiltzikm 9 People have died because of corrupt members of Congress and corrupt prescription drug companies. Federal government has spent hundreds of billions of dollars on prescription drug research. Corrupt members of Congress will not allow Medicare to buy drugs in bulk and
hiltzikm 8 March in Rights of Bayh Dole Act should be changed so that drugs and other things based on Federal government research are affordable. I do not think Bayh-Dole Act has ever been used dealing with prescription drugs because mentions reasonable pricing.
hiltzikm 7 Los Angeles Times Do you know if cities are designing bus routes to deny StepSaver like coverage to mainly black disabled areas while covering white disabled areas?
hiltzikm 5 Introduction and Number 1 of Rich people - Instead of Wealth Tax - Discussion of Native Americans. Link to improving health care in USA
hiltzikm 4 Medicare Medicaid Medicaid for disabled adults have done a lot of good. Please remember how evil governments in USA have been and are.
hiltzikm Medicare for all huh except drs. Kinda hard to find them that work for $15 hour. Med schools will be out of business.
hiltzikm 3 Have to be huge idiot to think just Medicare for All would be a good idea in a country as racist as the USA is. One of main reasons so many black mothers and black babies die in USA is racism. Are you trying to make this situation worse?
hiltzikm 2 Just government run health care is lousy government run health care on Native Americans Reservations now. Medicare For All that allows people to buy into it and has competition from for profits and non profits may be good idea if done right.
hiltzikm 1 Dishonesty - this column. Just government run health care is Tuskegee Syphilis Study of Black Men. Just government run health care is Forced Sterilization of Native American Women by Indian Health Service in 1960s, 1970s.
hiltzikm None of them can explain why taking away private insurance is an important part of Medicare for all who want it. England, Australia, Canada all have universal care but you can still buy private insurance there.
hiltzikm Or maybe they realize it will be another shit product/agency run by the govt. Which means shit service and extremely expensive.
hiltzikm These Democrats that are running for president have got to be the most undesirable,uneducated,anti-American,Anti-business these people need to have their seats and their jobs taken away they are nothing but anti-American, racist Against all white people!
hiltzikm You don’t think an estimated cost of $33T is a factor ? Socialism and math, not good companions.
hiltzikm 2/2 In the States, the insurance industry is clearly a huge vested interest. The way to pursue a more universal healthcare system is to find a way of co-opting insurers, in the same way they are integrated profitably into continental European schemes.
hiltzikm Or, it will bankrupt the US with mediocre coverage and ending up with those of means, traveling outside the US to get the timely/required procedures.
hiltzikm Cut the shit, The ONLY 2 it “hurts” are the 2 who could give a fuck about a persons health. Drug companies & Insurance. All about getting rich on the dying & not paying claims in full. Don’t sugar coat it. Drug companies & insurance is why healthcare is mess and opioids a mess💯
hiltzikm From a UK perspective, our National Health Service was founded in the teeth of real opposition - particularly from the medical profession. Big compromises were made in terms of allowing local doctors to remain self-employed and specialists to pursue lucrative private work. 1/2
hiltzikm Anyone who is worried about the profits of health insurers or drug companies is someone who is a benefactor of said profits, and should not be part of the conversation.
hiltzikm
hiltzikm Plus it sucks. There is that.
hiltzikm OR the proponents have not mad the case to the public - especially those with private/employer based insurance.
hiltzikm Yawn. Another Pravda piece from the
