Alexandria Ocasio Cortez: Medicare For All Is Cheaper Because It Reduces Funeral Costs
Townhall.com ^ | August 9, 2018 | Matt Vespa

Posted on 08/09/2018 11:52:04 PM PDT by Kaslin

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez is fun. No, I mean that in all sincerity; she’s a fun candidate. She’s now one of the faces of the emerging left wing of the Democratic Party. Some have even called her the future of the Democratic Party. Maybe they should slow their roll on her, but hey—a Democratic implosion of rising talent is always a fun show to watch. She’s feisty. She has her moments, but when it comes to the policy discussion for her television hits, she veers into rocky shoals.

casio-Cortez is clueless on the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, playing whack-a-mole concerning whether there should be a two-state solution. Don’t expect anything rational from here on out. Three days after her interview on PBS’ Firing Line, in which she voiced her support for a two-state solution, she moved away from that position. She recently attended a conference with anti-Israel activist Linda Sarsour, so that’s all you need to know where she’ll probably land. The far left is viciously anti-Israel. You have to be in order to call yourself a proud left-winger.

CNN’s Chris Cuomo had her on his show, where she proved once again that she has no clue what she's talking about concerning economic policy. Ocasio-Corez thinks the military got a $700 billion increase, wrote a $2 trillion check for the Trump tax cuts, and the Medicare for All initiative isn’t bad because it would reduce the costs of funerals. Yeah, no one will die under a single payer system. Hey, not dying—sounds great on paper. Concerning application, you’d have to be on crack cocaine to think this would ever be cost-effective. It’s not. It has a $30+ trillion price tag. The three-decade price tag for the Left’s goodie bag—free college, Medicare for all, etc.—lands in the neighborhood of…$218 trillion.

You can be buried for about $600 at Plots-R-Us.

I don’t know of any major operation for that little amount.

I was going to write something snide and clever, but in this dim-wit’s case, words elude me.

I don’t see how Boston University (where she graduated from) can continue and NOT revoke her degree. It’s like she attended four years of college and never learned a single thing. Her dad had to lay out $250k for that degree, and it’s absolutely worthless.

Uh ... a postponed death is ... uh ... still a death.

So even if Mighty Mouse were to jump into our blood streams and clean all the calcium out of our arteries to promote socialist health care, we would still eventually need, well, a funeral.

Hey, she managed to get a job as a bartender after graduating (or at least that is her job before she decided to run for office).

28, huh? Well then they will just have to do some fancy foot-work in order to seal up all her birth records, won’t they?

“What’s the matter man
We goin’ come around at 12
With some Puerto Rican girls that’s just dying to meet you.
We goin’ bring a case of wine,
And lets go and fool around
Like we used to....

If you've croaked, why would you care?

I mean, you could be cremated, you could be buried at Plots-R-Us (is it bankrupt yet?), you could be entombed in the Great Pyramid or the Taj Majal, on display at Мавзоле́й Ле́нина, or in the glove compartment of Elon's roadster.

To quote a felonius presidential candidate, What difference does it make?
