Gov.-elect Byron Donalds, the first Black governor elected in Florida, told NBC's "Meet the Press" to discuss his victory and what he believes went wrong for Republicans across the country.
"It’s gas and groceries," he said. "I did listen to what Senator Sanders was talking about, about their proposal for Medicare for all. This is going to be the next battle line in American politics. It’s going to be over health care."
"Let’s be very clear. If you want to talk about the rising costs in our country, health care is center to all of it. And we are living under Democrat health care policy here in the United States of America. It’s been 15 year since Obamacare, the Affordable Care Act was passed," Donalds said. "We were promised that premiums were going to go down.
We were promised you could keep your doctor, you could keep your plan. None of that occurred in health care in our country the last 15 years. And instead of fixing the Affordable Care Act, having market-center reforms that can stabilize health care costs, lower health care costs in this country, you have Bernie and the Democrats now want government take-over of all health care in our country. We know that would be a failure."
"Care would be rationed to the people of this country. They would not be able to have the free-flowing access that they currently have today. The prices would get significantly higher. Of course, nobody would have to pay that directly, but it would all be paid for by future debt on the backs of our children. That’s the wrong way to go."

Let’s be very clear. From now on, everything is free.
Health care is expensive because half the country is fat.
Maybe people should take care of themselves before trying to get the tax payer to foot the bill
Except you and me.
Byron, I voted for you. Don’t lean too far forward of your skis.
One visit to a Sunday yik-yak show is enough. Put the glamor of being the first black FL governor behind you.
Get busy behind the scenes in Tallahassee on how you will continue to make Florida greater than ever.
Canadian style health, oh poor dear let me offer you the choice for your sniffles, assisted suicide.

Also because it is free for anyone who walks across the border.
Dust off your Ronald Reagan on this topic for certain clarity on where it ends.
My wife and I are uninsured Americans. I ain’t paying $10,000 for a $10,000 deductible. Bite me, Obamao.
I would love to set that Bob, but the system says you haven't made your student loan payments in 12 years.
"But what am I supposed to do, Doc?"
First of all, I'm not a doctor of medicine. I'm a doctor of sociology, however.....if you go firebomb this address, we can fix your leg and get you back onto a payment plan.
"Thanks, Doc, or clinical social worker"
Its weird how much stuff liberals support but is ruined by their support of illegal aliens.
That is the end game with authoritarian health systems. From what is in the press, it appears England’s health system is close to that stage.

They don't want a Nordic style social welfare state because voters can decide to change policies (and parties) in the next election.
The utterly useless Republicans in Congress, particularly the Senate, had two years to do something about Obamacare.
They failed.
They deserved to lose.

The NHS offers free universal care but is under extreme strain, with a median elective wait of about 12 weeks and over 100,000 people waiting more than a year for important procedures like hip and knee replacements, cataract surgery, and other orthopaedic, eye, ENT and gynaecology operations, while Medicare provides reliable coverage for seniors with generally good access, and US private insurance typically gets people specialist appointments in around 4–5 weeks on average—but often at much higher cost and with big coverage gaps for many.
I pay $608.70/quarter for Medicare Part B.
That means on average a Medicare Part B recipient gets over $12,000/year of doctor care, physical therapy and injectable drugs.
In over three years all I’ve gotten is a pneumonia shot, and I think 13 quarterly premium bills.
Health care is expensive because the person using it has no direct input into the cost. If health insurance actually became true insurance you would see cost go down and you would see an incentive for adapting a better lifestyle.
In my personal opinion for most people it makes more sense to self pay for routine medical care with insurance or savings being directed at unexpected medical care and hospitalization. I don’t even know if it is legal anymore for an insurance company to offer that restricted coverage.
“We were promised you could keep your doctor, you could keep your plan.”
You could keep your plan if you asked to. As for its formerly affordable premium, no way.
As for keeping your doctors, you could pay out of pocket, which was and is the typical case for PPACA insureds.
