Nancy Pelosi says there are three reasons the Democrats took back the House: “Health care, health care and health care.” She may be right. Half the Democratic TV ads were on health care. By one estimate, Democratic candidates spent a reported $90 million on health care ads alone.
If nothing else, they have really promised to do something about health care. So what’s their plan?
To find out I went to a site called A Better Deal, which is maintained by Senate Democrats. This site tells you what you would expect to happen if the Democrats had captured the Senate as well as the House.
So let’s start with the 28 million Americans who have no insurance at all. What does the site promise to do about that? Nothing. Nothing? There’s not a word on the subject. What about Obamacare premiums that are two to three times what they used to be? Not a word about that either. What about sky-high deductibles that are causing people to skimp on needed care? Zero. What about narrow networks that exclude the best doctors and the best hospitals? Zilch. What about half the counties in the country having only one monopoly insurer and no competition? Nada.

Medicare for all is their solution. That should completely finish it off.
He addresses that in the article. Most seniors use a private plan, Medicare Advantage, in addition to regular Medicare. If young people had Medicare, they, too, would want the addition of a private plan.
Sorry for the sidetrack - we’ve been hearing radio ads (Dallas area) asking us to call REPUBLICANS to tell them we don’t want Trump Administrations changes to Medicare for cancer patients.
Does anyone know what the heck this is about? The ads say the Govt will determine what treatments (old treatments) and that rationing will occur as in other countries with nationalized health care.
I appreciate any info.
I must be tarded because I thought Nancy already fixed the healthcare thingy about six years ago. She had to pass it so we could see what was in it. If you like your plan keep your plan. If you like your doctor keep your doctor
A more useful, and easier to enumerate question might be: has Nancy Pelosi ever advocated for something truthfully? {crickets}
They will soon have the ability to “drop” any legislation they want, have hearings, and send it to the Senate.
And when nothing happens, I’d hammer that inactivity over and over and over.... for starters.
Sure they do. It is socialized medicine, where nobody gets needed care and it will still bankrupt the nation.
Nancycare ,we control you from Birth to Death or we just Abort you
“ Most seniors use a private plan, Medicare Advantage, in addition to regular Medicare. “
There isn’t one single person enrolled in Medicare Advantage in my county. They purchase a Medigap plan if anything.
The big lie running in NJ during the election was evil Republicans denying coverage to those with pre-existing conditions via “Trumpcare”.
BS. 40 incumbents on the rino gop train retired.
The Democrats will not pass such a thing. They didn’t do it in 2009-10 when they had the power to do it without a single GOP vote ... because the insurance industry owns Nancy Pelosi.
“Do Democrats Have a Health Care Plan?”
Yeah, the NHS...National Health Service ala the UK. 6 months to get a ruptured appendix fixed. If you are under 55.
Dems don’t need a plan, just good intentions.
Results don’t matter - intentions matter. Same as it ever was with these virtue signaling control freak nitwits.

The Medicare Advantage Plans are available depending on where you live.
In large Urban areas such as Southern CA there are many Advantage Plans being offered, most with no Monthly Premium outside of the usual Part B Deductible which I believe is $136 a Month in 2019.
Think of Advantage Plans as HMO’s because only In Network Doctors and Hospitals can be used while Medicare Supplemental Plans mirror PPO Healthcare Plans.
Advantage Plans also cover Drug Coverage without having to pay a Part D Premium.
If you are on an Advantage Plan for over a Year and you decide to go on a Supplemental Plan, they can refuse you for a Pre Existing Condition.

#metoo. The dems wrecked healthcare with Obolacare. I guess the idiots that put the dems back in control of congress want them to ‘fix it’ .
and USA elected the GOP to, in part, flush Zero-Care down the damnned toilet for us
.....
and instead the GOPe screwed around for two long years
GERRRRUMPH!
