Warren's Fuzzy Math

[SEVERUSMAX]

There's simply no way to get to the necessary revenue for single-payer without an increase in the Medicare Payroll Tax and everyone knows it, including Elizabeth Warren. She's gaslighting everyone in real time with her proposed financing scheme, convoluted as it is, to pay for Medicare For All. If you don't really support it, as she doesn't, stop hugging Bernie like remora on a shark and pretending that you do. Deep down, she'll "settle" for public option, just as Harry Reid indicated. He views that as a positive. I do not.

I'm less than thrilled with Tulsi's version, Single Payer Plus, but I'm still backing her over Bernie due to her superior foreign policy. But Medicare For All is simply the most logical system, and will actually save everyone money in the long run. It will save most citizens due to no co-pay, no premiums, no co-insurance, no deductibles, no out of pocket "donut holes," and finally being able to negotiate with Rx companies. Most of all, it doesn't push the sick onto the government system while keeping the healthy in private plans. I actually view Tulsi's version as a temporary phase to lead to Medicare For All, but I could be wrong. Sooner or later, those union contracts expire, and when they do, the workers will likely end up on the same single-payer system as everyone else.

Take that commie shit and throw it all out.

They need to come back with liberal options and demonstrate their viability in their states before the rest are convinced a federal version can work.

That's how the USA works, that's how it's always worked.

This isn't a unitary state and it's not under the control of a single party or dictator....."progressives" just aren't the totalitarian takeover of the HC industry they desire.
