Video: Pete Buttigieg On 180 Millions Of Americans Possibly Losing Their Preferred Health Insurance: “I Don’t Care”
Conservative US ^ | 02.19.2020 | Alex Hall

Pete Buttigieg rivals and critics attack his record on race relations and question whether the former mayor of a mid-sized, Midwestern town is up to the task of being the next commander in chief.

After all, it seems that his racist past comes back to haunt him.

Buttigieg has struggled mightily to attract support from voters of color, which could be a major issue for him once the calendar turns to more diverse states.

But this isn’t Buttigieg’s only problem.

The mainstream media tries to present him as a moderate Democrat but his statements are far from moderate.

Townhall reports:

Healthcare is a center-stage issue for the 2020 election cycle, both in the Democratic primary and the general election. Democratic contenders have differing views on healthcare, but all candidates want government to take up a bigger role in the insurance market.

Far-left candidates, Sens. Bernie Sanders (D-VT) and Elizabeth Warren (D-MA) have pledged to completely destroy the private insurance market with a Medicare for All system, which boats a trillion dollar price tag.

Former Vice President Joe Biden, Sen. Amy Klobuchar (D-MN) and Pete Buttigieg have all come out in favor of plans with a more modest cost; although these plans, similar to a public option, require less government funding, each still represents an overhaul of the insurance market.

Pete Buttigieg, who has emerged as a top-tier candidate after the Iowa caucuses, causually brushed off the fact that millions of Americans would lose their preferred insurance under a system exclusively run by the government, as we’ve seen under the Affordable Care Act:

Does this sound moderate to you? Don’t be fooled by what Pete Buttigieg just said regarding the 180 million Americans who would lose their health insurance plans because of Medicare for All.

Buttigieg doesn’t care about them. He said so himself. Facebook has greatly reduced the distribution of our stories in our readers’ newsfeeds and is instead promoting mainstream media sources.

Because to these fascists, it's never been about better health care, it's always been about them controlling the health care.

Whoever it is they will be passed off as the voice of reason and moderation.
What they really thnk will be buried by MSM. It cannot work with Bernie and while he is a vicious marxist who will make our lives miserable he won’t wear the mask

“Does this sound moderate to you?”

I have no idea. This story takes buying the lede to a whole new level. 6 paragraphs before it even gets to the general topic of healthcare the 3 more paragraphs about everybody else but the subject, and then finally the money quote ... is in a video.

Prize for worst written article of the day.

He was honest. He does not care. Nor does any of the other Democrats. All they care about is having life or death power over you and me.

Buttigig’s problem is he is a faggot. They are malignant narcissists. They look down on non-faggots regardless of race.

Pete’s day in the sun is gone, absolutely zero chance of breaking out of the bottom 3.

This is the candidate which the MSM calls a moderate.

Now that Booker's "girlfriend" has come out as some kind of LGBTQ person, that makes Booker more attractive to Buttigieg as a running mate. Way to win over the POC vote and all that. Buttigieg/Booker 2020!

Liberals don’t care about what people want.

They tell you what you are going to get, whether you want it or not.

Mao once wrote that in order to make an omelet one must break a few eggs. Buttplug is a huge admirer of Mao.

What’s important for communists is that everyone is equally miserable, and that no one has more than anyone else.

However, hypocritically, they are members of the ruling elite (Nomenklatura in the Soviet Union) which has special privileges, gets to spend real money, and can have whatever it wants while the ordinary folk suffer and work to pay for the elite’s lifestyle.

And the competition for that title is fierce journalistic standards being what they are.

Is he the wife or the husband? Not important, just curious.

Downright repulsive.

This is all the more reason to vote against Buttigieg. The democrats are following the socialist pattern of taking over health care to control the populace.
