    Medicare for all: is it coming?

    Medicare for all: is it coming?

    Both the House and the Senate have similar bills that would bring Medicare for all. It would replace all private insurance and prohibit doctors from contracting for payment outside of the plan.

    Now that Democrats are poised to take control of the U.S. House of Representatives in January, taxpayers can expect a major push to achieve the "progressive" goal of total government control over American health care.

    Their leading legislative proposals for government-controlled health system H.R.676 and S. 1804 are broadly similar. Rep. Pramila Jayapal (D-Wash.), leader of the "Medicare for All Caucus" in the House, is rewriting the House bill (H.R. 676) to bring it more into line with the Senate bill (S. 1804) authored by Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.).


    The thematic message of "Medicare for All" is fetching, assuming one doesn't read the fine print. When Americans start paying close attention, they're not likely to find the substance of these bills very attractive.

    It is clearly unconstitutional not to mention a foundation stone of socialist tyranny.
    Call your state legislators and insist they approve the Article V convention of States to propose amendments.


    I pledge allegiance to the Constitution as written and understood by this nation's founders, and to the Republic it created, an indivisible union of sovereign States, with liberty and justice for all.

    I agree that it is unconstitutional. I also agree that giving the government control over your healthcare choices would be a foundational underpinning of tyranny.

    From the link:

    It demonstrates the total hypocrisy of the left and liberal media:




    Advocates of these proposals promise that total government control over American health care will secure higher quality care at lower cost.

    Forget it.

    The Veterans Administration (VA) operates America's premiere home-grown "single payer" health system. In 2014, CNN reported that veterans would "languish and die" because of the program's bureaucratically manipulated "waiting lists." The federal government's shocking record of poor quality of care for America's veterans soon exploded into one of the nation's worst health care scandals.

    In Britain's National Health Service (NHS), the granddaddy of single payer health care, long patient waits for care have been a recurrent feature of the system. In December 2017, almost one third of NHS regional directors reported that they were unable to deliver "comprehensive care."

    And in January 2018, the NHS cancelled more than 50,000 "non-urgent" surgeries, as British doctors charged that their patients were being subjected to "third world" conditions. Historically, British survival rates for "urgent" medical conditions such as lung, colon and prostate cancer fall well short of America's performance.

    It won't work, it's nothing more than socialized medical care.

    Is the plan to also include illegal Invaders?

    The system will go broke in no time and, no one will have access to medical care.

    Yet life expectancy in the UK and Canada is higher than in the US. Why is that?

    Lower murder rates. Fewer car accidents. More chance taking.

    Males in the US are killing themselves for some reason.

    I doubt it has a thing to do with politics.

    Oh! I know the reason. Suicide.
    Political, of course. Attributible to the White House pig. It must be a release from watching him reducing the US from a power to a Russian satellite.
