Sanders reintroduces Medicare for All bill

[Bray123]

Trump tried to re-invent the AFA during his first term, but abandoned the idea as it involved too much thought.

They said that, did they? It won't matter what coverage you have when there aren't any doctors.

MAGAs don’t want to cut healthcare costs in half.

Donnie will announce his long-awaited healthcare plan … two weeks after “infrastructure week”.

Noting that Democrats have to offer will cut costs in half.

Nothing Bernie is saying on the Fight Oligarchy tour fits that description.

Nothing in the Dems' 2024 platform fits it either.

Socialism is dead.

Socialism is dead.

But social democracy has glories yet ahead of it. And Medicare for All is social-democratic.

Medicare for All will.

Medicare for All, Says Sanders, Would Show American People 'Government Is Listening to Them'

"The goal of the current administration and their billionaire buddies is to pile on endless cuts," said one nurse and union leader. "Even on our hardest days, we won't stop fighting for Medicare for All."​

On Tuesday, Independent Sen. Bernie Sanders of Vermont and Democratic Reps. Pramila Jayapal of Washington and Debbie Dingell of Michigan reintroduced the Medicare for All Act, re-upping the legislative quest to enact a single-payer healthcare system even as the bill faces little chance of advancing in the GOP-controlled House of Representatives or Senate.
Hundreds of nurses, healthcare providers, and workers from across the country joined the lawmakers for a press conference focused on the bill's reintroduction in front of the Capitol on Tuesday.

Bullshit, what a fucking lie. Sanders is a commie and I suppose you are as well

Bullshit, what a fucking lie.

You can't point out a single thing he said there that is not true.

Sanders is a commie and I suppose you are as well

No, he isn't. Sanders is not even a socialist, though he calls himself one. He's really just a social democrat -- wants a redistributive tax system and a vigorous welfare state, within capitalism. No nationalized industries, no command economy. Social democracy works better than anything else that has yet been tried -- better than a command economy, and better than the American version of laissez-faire capitalism.

Per capita health care costs in the U.S. are twice what they are in Canada, and that is not because American health care is twice as good. The extra dollar on the dollar goes to the health-insurance companies, who contribute nothing at all to the process that the government cannot do better. If you do health-care reform and the insurance companies are still in business, that is how you know you have not done it right.

Michael Moore got it right: When considering health-care reform, the insurance companies are the enemy, and should not have a place at the table.

The main reason this won't pass in Congress is find out how many Senators and Congress people owe their seats to the pharmaceutical lobby. I, for one, know my own state's senior senator, Patty Murray has been owned by big pharma for years.

That is a real problem, but it can be overcome. The New Deal must have seemed impossible once for similar reasons.

 

[Rightguide]

Doesn't matter. Their health-care systems produce better results than ours. It is not the American Way to value results above everything else?

They can do what they do because they are cheating us on trade and not paying for their defense. If they had to defend themselves, those social policies would be scaled back accordingly.

America’s healthcare cost per capita is twice as high as the cost in other developed nations.

They're finding it necesssary to increase their defense spending now -- but they will never in your lifetime end their universal health care.

And they have never cheated us on trade.

Canada has never needed American military protection, but it is far out ahead of us in health care.

Why would they willingly double their healthcare expenditures if they increase defense spending?

MAGA sheep logic is weird.

Paying less for something always improves the quality , and yet you fight tooth and nail any efforts to streamline government.

American health care is one of those things that takes more in reimbursing ACA private insurance premiums and in determining who should or shouldn’t be eligible for Medicaid than it’s worth to just give everyone Medicare.
The C19 pandemic and constant shortening of the “recommended minimum” isolation period proved the American government values workforce over workers’ health, but if nothing else, taking care of workers’ health helps ensure that workforce remains healthy enough to stay in the workplace

It could easily be argued that Americans’ health is also a national security issue.

The same with higher education.

Bernie Sanders introduces Medicare for All legislation as GOP prepares fiscal overhaul

Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) and Rep. Pramila Jayapal (D-WA) on Tuesday announced that they and House colleagues would introduce Medicare for All legislation, marking the fifth time Sanders has put forward legislation to have the federal government pay for health services and ban private insurance.

In an editorial published in the Guardian on Tuesday, Sanders framed the bill’s reintroduction in terms of plans to reduce Medicaid spending through the budget reconciliation process. In the piece, Sanders said the reconciliation bill will “throw millions of Americans off the healthcare they have,” but added that Democrats can’t solely play defense.

“Obviously, we must defeat that terrible legislation,” said Sanders, referencing the reconciliation bill. “But we must do much more. We cannot simply defend the status quo in healthcare.”

He’s always been an idiot

Bernie Sanders is a lot smarter than you.

 

[cowboyup6977]

Look at his track record he’s been living off of us for far too long
We need term limits

 

[wallstreetguy]

Not like we have a $37 trillion debt or anything. Well, he is playing to Dem party base, so good for him. He is running in 2028.

Conniving is not intelligence. Though his thoughts on women's orgasms are interesting.

Europe and Canada love to lecture from their moral mezzanine, sipping lattes under the safety net of U.S. defense spending. They afford 'universal healthcare' the same way a freeloader saves on rent. by letting someone else (us) foot the security bill. And spare me the fairy tale about fair trade. Their markets are wrapped in red tape, buried under tariffs, and padded with value-added taxes that quietly punish American exports while they posture as free-trade saints. Canada may not ‘need’ our military, because they’ve always had it, like a fire extinguisher they never paid for but are happy to keep on the wall.
