Got health Insurance, Bernie Will Take it Away

Bernie did well positionally in both Iowa and New Hampshire. That’s good for his campaign, but he did not do as well as he did four years ago. That is maybe not so good. The question is why is that?

Bernie’s Boondoggle Medicare for All

Math is Hard. It’s Harder if You Support Elizabeth Warren

November 3, 2019 Steve MacDonald

Most of the Democrats are ga-ga over the newest hip progressive thing. Because that partial takeover called ObamaCare was such a loser. They want a total takeover of health care. No matter how much it costs. Just be sure to tell the Middle Class it won’t cost them a thing.

Medicare For All Would Wipe Out Every US Billionaire’s Total net Worth in Just 3 years

October 29, 2019 Steve MacDonald

Soak the Rich! Soak the Rich! Soak the Rich!

September 8, 2019

Tax Hikes on the Wealthy Alone Can’t Pay for ‘Medicare for All’. Over thirty two trillion dollars is a lot of money so soak the rich.

Medicare for All = More Taxes for All = Lower Quality & Quantity Healthcare

August 12, 2019

Most of the Democratic presidential debate participants stated their commitment to “Medicare-for-All”. But what does that mean? Well, they tell us they want to transition the U.S. health care insurance industry to a government-run model. The result would be the federal government in control health care within a decade. Medicare for All means… That means … Read more

If you loved Obamacare, just WAIT for Medicare-for-All “Premium Hit!

August 7, 2019 Skip

Actually, they won’t be premiums, they’ll be taxes. Unlike premiums, which if you don’t pay them you just get dropped by the company, if you don’t pay your taxes, the Government comes to MAKE you pay them.

Progressives use the Government to crowd out traditional Civil Society charitable organizations. And the Leftists have made it plain that only Government should and can be doing “good things.” To the point that they are now openly Socialist enough to be advocating the Government nationalization of complete industries.

Bernie Sanders – My Plan Will Require an Increase in Income Taxes for Ordinary People.

May 31, 2019May 31, 2019 Steve MacDonald

This should come as a big surprise to no one. Free Healthcare isn’t free. What proof do I have, you say? Well, aside from common sense, basic math skills, and the ability to think and do things on my own, the Socialist Bernie Sanders says so.

Ho, Ho, Ho… Medicare for All… Ho, Ho, Ho… Free Stuff for All

February 5, 2019

Free Health Care… Leftists are pushing ‘Medicare-for-all’. Sixteen senators publicly support Bernie Sanders’ vision of “Medicare-for-all.” Sanders’ bill, S.1804, was explicit about outlawing private health insurance.

“Medicare for All” – Soviet style healthcare

September 27, 2018September 13, 2018 Op-Ed

“…Dems are forgetting to tell you that private insurance will be banned under their scheme”

by Betsy McCaughey

President Barack Obama made a stunning policy shift Friday, endorsing Medicare for All — a single-payer health system for the nation. Most Democrats contending for the 2020 presidential nomination and many Dems vying for congressional seats this fall are backing it, too. Beware: They’re pulling a bait-and-switch. The phrase Medicare for All sounds as American as apple pie. A new Reuters poll shows 70 percent of Americans respond to it favorably.

Yet the public isn’t getting the truth about what it means.

Sidenote: oh dear, how low has my alma mater dropped in rigor. They ought to be disavowing her forthwith but I guess the Howard Zinn-sim, Noam Chomskyesque, and the other hard core radical professors have gotten worse over the years. As I continue with her here, I am gratified by my decisions over the years not to give my hard earned monies to this spawning den of everything I find wrong.

Anyways, I digress – let me unpack my pile of stuff here. Just remember that no less a luminary than Tom Perez, Chair of the National Democrat Committee, says “she is the future of the Party”. Go ahead, keep shoveling that out there!
