I want to wean most Americans off the federal teat

You don't do that by replacing one pile of bureaucratic crap with another pile of bureaucratic crap. You just further entrench bureaucratic crap.

People like you are merely preventing the reduction of Big Government back to its Constitutional limits.

How about cutting the socialist crap altogether?

I would also make copper plans low cost by only covering Part A scope items plus what Part B would pay for any general or regional anesthesia surgery.

That’s pretty much the same level of coverage I had as under Blue Cross/Blue shield as a kid.

Medicaid expansion is a win for Zerocare.

Scalpels are like swords, just smaller.

Most here seem do seem to prefer to spend $1 trillion to blast three boats to smithereens, even though the scalpels would get used to save the lives of about a third of persons they would get used on and most guns on military bases would remain uselessly locked up.

The Democrats are never “rightly concerned” about anything except their own power.

Why expand Obamacare? Why expand the nanny state?

“Medicaid expansion is a win for Zerocare.”

The Medicaid expansion would be conditional. It would gradually shift paying for Medicaid service providers back to the states, provided the Democrats go along. And if they don’t, Florida and Texas voters can be told Republicans tried to help.

Be aware that it’s far easier to cut the price paid for drugs than to cut the pay of doctors. And my drug plan would start the process rolling.

“Why expand Obamacare?”

My revision is a practical compromise.

Be aware that people that might die if Obamacare isn’t available might use a gun to shoot a Republican Congressman dead. You could ask a former UHC executive about that, but don’t expect an answer while you’re alive.

You see ... if The Right People are in charge, socialism will work this time. Because True Socialism has never been tried. But THIS TIME, we'll get it right. Because we're The Right People.

And who are The Right People? You don't even have to ask; they'll tell you, while touting "Their Proposal" which will solve all the problem the last set of The Right People caused.

My healthcare: If the VA doesn’t cover it (like stem cell therapy):

Passport, round trip airfare and credit card.

Cheaper, faster and more effective than within the US

It would be more in keeping with the Constitutin and its authors and ratifiers to eliminae Meicade and Mediare altogether as well as almost all other goveernment agencies and programs including Social Security. I am not a young guy railing at grandpa getting government money. I have received SS and had Medicare for years. I would support ending the old age welfare program.

Except that I only had a debit card and wasn’t in the service, that was my personal plan for three decades.

“The Right People are in charge, socialism will work this time.”

The British NHS has been around for 77 years.

Social Security has been around for 90 years.

Medicare has been around for 60 years.

Spend $25,000/year ($325,000 total) on Leroy’s K-12 New Jersey public school “education”, but don’t spend a cent to save his life.

“blah” has been around for “blah” years ...

And they ALL STINK. They need to be abolished.

Oh, yeah ... government education also needs to be abolished.

You sure do love your government programs ... Are you one of The Right People? You sure talk like one ...

I understand many of you object to paying for Medicare and Medicaid.

A possibility is ranked choice tax allocation.

1040 Schedule ?

Please rank how you would like your tax dollars spent after debt service has been funded, with 1 being your priority:

__ Medicare

__ Medicaid

__ DoD (limit $1 trillion)

__ SNAP (limit $40 billion)

__ National Park Service (limit $12 billion)

__ Veterans Administration, including housing benefits

....

Your contribution may be limited to a percentage of total tax necessary to reach the applicable limit.

*******

It is my understanding that leftists now rake in the majority of the income.

America is doomed, because even supposed conservatives on a supposedly conservative wwweb forum are just sloppy in love with Big Government Socialism.

You say you want to wean Americans off the government teat.

But you don’t, really.

You just want Americans sucking on a teat that you control.

Back in 1920s and early 1930s Germany, Communists and National Socialists hated each other and fought in the streets. They didn’t disagree much on government policies ... they disagreed over who should be in charge of those policies, and who should be dead.

You don’t disagree with the democRATs on policy, just on who should be in charge.

That’s a great piece of work.

Thanks for doing it.

As the structures we work in crumble, most people here have zero idea about what is happening, or why.

A+
