Medicare for All: why not?

[PJL]

If you really intend to advocate for affordable health care you would adopt the free market. Every problem in our health care and insurance system flows directly or indirectly from unconstitutional government interference.

I would disagree. What we need is governments that won't allow themselves to be influenced by lobby groups offering large political donations , and do the job that people elect them to do . Capitalism is a beautiful thing when it has an immunity to corruption........and free market economics works fine until corporations set up cartels and monopolies .

Perhaps you disagree because at heart you are an authoritarian statist.

That's a bit absurd..(lol).....people can plainly see the corruption between governments and big business . Its in our faces constantly , and people have every right to question it , and demand better from our elected representatives . It's the gravest danger to democracy that exists , and it's become institutionalized.

[PJL]

Right. Who will you enslave to provide free stuff?

If you don't know what a "means test" is , just google it.

[PJL]

You leftists constantly tell us you are the smartest people who ever lived. Given that when do you think you can come up with a plan for all of you smart people to pool your resources based on private contracts and do what you are trying to impose on the rest of us?

Playing "the leftist card" against anyone you don't agree with has become more of an admission that your view has no credible defense......if I was one of the smartest people who ever lived , I wouldn't be sitting here chatting with you on the internet (lol)

[PJL]

Healthcare for all is something demagogues say. Focus on yourself. You believe someone else should pay for your health care. Why haven't you created private, contractual agreements to pool the resources of the 63 million of you and just do it without forcing those who have no interest in being slaves to the State, from joining you?

I am a demagogue who pays for his own health care - figure that one out when you have time...(lol) What I'm actually trying to say here , is that I believe health care can be affordable for all , if it's run correctly . It would be a massive over-hall , but it could be done . Allowing pharmaceutical company's to flood the country with opioids has been a major blunder.....and reversing that , would be a good place to start fixing the problems.

Your answer is meaningless. It still involves taking money from Peter at the point of a gun and giving it to Paul.

. It still involves taking money from Peter at the point of a gun and giving it to Paul.

Your imagination is distorting your thought process . A 'means test' prevents claiming welfare when it's not needed .....for instance , subsidies to oil companies is corporate welfare on a grand scale .....so is allowing the use of tax havens to avoid paying tax . The average citizens don't get those kind of free perks , they just get the bill for them.
