Elizabeth Warren: 'The next step is single-payer' health care (squaw puff loco weed alert)
Seattle Times ^ | June 27, 2017 | Andrew Breiner

Posted on 06/28/2017 12:38:08 AM PDT by Zakeet

Sen. Elizabeth Warren said Tuesday that opposing the Republican health-care bill wasn't enough and the Democratic Party should start running on a new national single-payer plan.

"President Obama tried to move us forward with health-care coverage by using a conservative model that came from one of the conservative think tanks that had been advanced by a Republican governor in Massachusetts," she told The Wall Street Journal. "Now it's time for the next step. And the next step is single payer."

Polling has shown government-provided health care to be a very popular notion among Americans. Depending on whether it's described as a public option, Medicare for all, or federally funded universal health care, proposals are supported by 57 to 61 percent of Americans, compared with only 19 to 24 percent opposed.

Government run housing, schools, and Social Security, has gone so well the next obvious step is to task them with your healthcare. /s.

Obamacare “IS” a single-payer give-a-way of useless insurance to healthy people, which is why they don’t realize how bad it is.

Little known (or at least discussed)fact: Elizabeth Warren’s maiden name was Herring. That would explain her tendency to be Red.

“......proposals are supported by 57 to 61 percent of Americans, compared with only 19 to 24 percent opposed.”

We are doomed as a nation. When 57 percent can demand (take) what 24 percent will pay for it is only a matter time......

“Polling has shown government-provided health care to be a very popular notion among Americans.”

The government doesn't provide health care. The government doesn't ‘provide’ anything.

Doctors, nurses, other health care workers, and all those who work to develop new technologies and drugs are who ‘provide’ health care - generally after years of training. All the government can do is take money from some of the populace, in taxes, and use it to pay those who actually provide the health care. The government has time and again proved to be a bloated, bureaucratic, inefficient, and often scandal-ridden ‘middleman’. Why on Earth would anyone want to make government a middleman in health care?

In the meantime, Warren has made a ridiculous salary for part-time ‘teaching’ at the university level. I wonder how she would feel about nationalizing all universities.

Some type of single payer system for basic needs is inevitable.

Better decide now how you want it to work, or Chuck Schumer will decide for you.

The alternative is prosecuting the healthcare industry using current law for their collusion and price fixing. Then costs drip by 90% and single payer is not necessary.

One can make fun of Elizabeth Warren, if one has nothing better to do, but she is rich and powerful because she is selling something for which there is a market: power over the lives of others.

I’d make a time-capsule wager that the U.S. will end up with a National Health Service. It is the reasonable outcome of our current system, in my opinion.

Squaw might want to first have a chat with the California Legislature. They shelved that idea once they saw the costs.
