Da Da Comrade, what could possibly go wrong?
Judging by the way they hate Carbon, they apparently hate all life forms!
I've seen some of the Medicare reimbusement rates from when my dad was in the hospital. The only way that hospitals can stay in business is to overcharge other patients to make up for the cram down on Medicare. One that stuck in my head was $8 for an x-ray. That only would work if the equipment was free and the tech made under minimum wage.
No wonder so many doctors won't accept new Medicare patients.
“No liver transplant for you! You are Republican.”
Just the whole concept of “Medicare for all” is absolutely insane. What this translates into is “Healthcare for the entire world courtesy of the US taxpayer! Just sneak into the USA” not to mention the insane amount of insurance fraud that would be going on. This would be like trying to save the sinking Titanic by nuking it. The only answer for healthcare is get government the F out of it and let the free market work!
That includes the 47% sales tax, I assume.
Yes, just take AO-C's math wizardry on sending the country back to the Stone Age and eviscerating the US economy with her Green New Deal.
She has said, "It doesn't matter if we don't have the money for the Green New Deal. It's the right thing to do so we should just spend the money anyway." Huh?
It's good thing she doesn't have an economics degree from Boston College. Oh, wait a minute.... Never mind.
Not only do Marxists not understand math, but instead of Warren using conservative estimates of how her Medicare-for-all plan would be paid for, she gets loose and free with the numbers and uses liberal estimates of the costs, which we all know will grow larger and larger because big government is involved in the implementation.
Her estimates of the cost of the program need to be multiplied by 3 to 5 times, if not more, for her already inflated numbers to be anywhere close to being realistic.
And just wait until she finally admits that the middle class will be heavily taxed to come up with the money for this epic fail plan.
At first blush this plan is already DOA. After taking a closer look at Warren's numbers, it is six feet under.
The costs above total $8.7 trillion - Twice the current budget. No matter how much taxes are increased do you squeeze that much money out of the economy. Not unless you spend nothing on anything else - no defense, no SS, no welfare, no social programs, no subsidies, no foreign aid, no Congress salaries, etc.
:)
No, not yet.
Democrats have forgotten how they were nuked by the Obamacare catastrophe.
Their answer is to quintuple down on it. They’re insane.
