Economist Breaks It Down for Democrats, Explains Sheer Impossibility of ‘Medicare for All’

Re-read that sentence again, because it’s vitally important. Even if every income tax in America were doubled, a move that would cripple the economy, there still wouldn’t be enough money to pay for the liberal pipe dream.

[headstamp 2]

Basement-cade for all.

[gibsonguy]

When will people understand the Rats don’t care if it’s feasible or not? It’s about buying votes and control. It’s the same with the border and the environment, the truth is not relevant. Power, control and unlimited funding is ALL that matters.

[Red Badger]

They do not care.

They will do it any ways.

ObamaCare was just the start and they intend to force it upon us, unless and until we remove them from office or the planet............

[Buckeye McFrog]

Paul Krugman or Richard Wolff or some other Lefty economist will publish an opposing view and they’ll all glom onto that.

[Sacajaweau]

The Dems are giving the impression that Medicare is free for those eligible retirees.

They take $135 right out of my SS Check every year......and that's after paying into Medicare since it began.

Medicaid is the ongoing freebie that has totally ruined the system.

[chajin]

But it wouldn’t cost that much in money, because the health care would be rationed and more sick people would die and, as Scrooge put it, decrease the surplus population.

[Sacajaweau]

Whoops...correction....$135 every MONTH

[Red Badger]

That ‘economist’ might as well been talking to a bunch of 4 year olds. They have absolutely no understanding of business, economy or mathematics.

They, as a group, are as ignorant as short bus full of students.................

But THIS TIME Socialism will work!

[AmericanCheeseFood]

B..b... but Bernie said if I really believe it, I’d have it! We just need to stop being #1 and go below Obama’s level straight into the gutter! Then we can have health care for everyone!!

—
Socialism is always ABOUT to work... just before it doesn’t work.

“Eventually you run out of other people’s money.” Iron Lady’s Iron Law of Socialism.

[polymuser]

“When will people understand...?”

Not until we remove the socialists/progressives from public and secondary education, the unions, the media, the churches, social media and both political parties parties. Then, not until we have deprogrammed our younger population.

We’ve allowed a treatable cancer to spread to the point it is now systemic and deadly. Only harsh, invasive and painful treatment can work. IMO.

[AmericanCheeseFood]

Everyone just needs to wear some weighted blankets and helmets and it will all be possible! A nice diet of lead-tainted crayons doesn’t hurt either in having socialism become the best thing ever!

[xzins]

Exactly.

150 million families covered by employer and personal health care today costs each about 20k per year. That’s about 3.2 trillion dollars. And those folks have good health insurance.

If the government ends private health care and takes it over, they are NOT going to spend that amount. They’ll take 4 trillion but spend maybe 1 trillion and tell every formerly covered person in America to get lost and die. (The other 3 trillion will go to crony projects and crony people)

That is what socialists do. They kill you off.

[aMorePerfectUnion]

1. Some version will happen eventually
2. Democrats/communists would like to take 100% of your money and give you back a pittance to live on
3. Facts have never mattered to them - only power
4. Democrats and republicans are two cheeks on the same a$$

Simple as that.

Trump is an aberration.

If he succeeds, we survive (for now).

If he fails, we become Western Europe or worse.

Pray for this man.

The economics don’t matter to the Democrats. What matters is the political appeal. Remember the majority of the population has an IQ of less than 100. Something for nothing and the government taking care of them appeals to most of them. “Medicare for all” promotes the socialist narrative, the way the Bolsheviks used the “Bread for all” slogans. The concept appeals to the muddled middle that determine electoral outcomes. In reality, if ever implemented, medical care would collapse in the United States.

[LouAvul]

Democrats are hard core socialists, and socialists don't care. They operate with the objective of spending, increased taxation, and more spending. That's the end game.

They don't care that medicare for all is not feasible. They intend to pass, medicare for all, then rob the working class to pay for it.

Our problem, ("our", being Americans with more than two or three functioning IQ points), is that RAT voters, (for example, in max water's district; hank johnson's district; the "kill the baby now or kill him later" mongrel) have nothing, earn nothing, contribute nothing, therefore are fine with destroying the middle class, and continue to vote RAT.

But it wouldn’t cost that much in money, because the health care would be rationed and more sick people would die and, as Scrooge put it, decrease the surplus population.

Healthcare is cheap when everyone covered is young and healthy. That's how the military's TriCare works!
