Buttigieg: Warren Is ‘Extremely Evasive’ on Whether Medicare for All Will Raise Taxes
Breitbart ^ | 09/19/2019 | Ian Hanchett

Posted on 09/20/2019 6:24:56 AM PDT by ChicagoConservative27

On Thursday’s broadcast of CNN’s “The Lead,” 2020 presidential candidate South Bend Mayor Pete Buttigieg (D) stated that fellow 2020 candidate Senator Elizabeth Warren (D-MA) has been “extremely evasive” on whether her Medicare for all plan will raise taxes for the middle class.

Buttigieg said, “Senator Warren is known for being straightforward, and was extremely evasive when asked that question, and we’ve seen that repeatedly. I think that if you are proud of your plan and it’s the right plan, you should defend it in straightforward terms. And I think it’s puzzling that when everybody knows the answer to that question, of whether her plan and Senator Sanders’ plan will raise middle-class taxes is yes, why you wouldn’t just say so and then explain why you think that’s the better way forward

I think he means “How much will it raise taxes?”

I can’t believe anyone is proposing such a stupid thing.

It’s more like Medicaid for all and it would be absolute crap.

But, at this point the entire healthcare system is so dysfunctional that it might as well collapse. That way many patients and providers will opt out of the system and a thriving direct pay system based on price and quality as determined by the consumer will emerge.

But. I’m sure the Dems would try to make private medicine and impossibility even if that’s unconstitutional.

It will be Medicaid for all: Price controls, less doctors, etc.

There will be stratification of service: The well off will either pay for it here, or if that’s not allowed as unfair, there will be a boom in off-shore medical tourism.

So they ran as radical communists for months because the frontrunner was an old communist who fooled people for fifty years that he was a moderate. Now one of the communists is poised to take over as front runner so they pivot to trying to portray themselves as reasonable moderates? Uh huh, sure.

Bernie Sanders is honestly, openly a communist. The rest are lying about it.

Not to mention it would cause massive unemployment.

Think of all the people working for private health care companies.

In the name of efficiency, lots of them would need to find not just a new job, but a new career.

I am actually hoping that she will. Hillary is (and was) damaged goods.

Starting with her “woman” card — she is married to an accused rapist (at minimum a sexual predator). It goes down hill from there.

If it is Medicare for All, insurance would be replaced by Medicare Supplements

Biden’s eventual VP running mate knows when he’s peaked — now he’s going back on the attack. Additional:

Taxes are the least of Elizabeth Warren’s ‘Medicare for All’ problems

...It contrasts starkly from Warren’s otherwise unapologetic and enthusiastic campaign...

“Medicare for all” is just the liberal democrat, politically correct way of describing the ‘RATs transferring health care from elderly Americans to “unaccompanied minor” border jumpers and the freeloading “refugee” adults who rent the “minors” out from their biological “parents” to accompany them across the border into America.

Only on the top 1%. [/s]

That top 1% will be destitute if a Dem does get elected and gets all these spending programs approved.

The top 100 wealthiest Americans have a combined total wealth of just over $1 Trillion. The Dem proposals total around $200 Trillion.

There is only so much that top 1% can pay.
