So socialists get it to kill the baby the day before it's born, and not go to jail and don't have to pay for it?

If you ensure it is ONLY acessable to those that pay into the system and those that live unhealthy lifestyles are taxed more that those that live healthy lifestyles, then sure

Um, yeah, Medicare is great, I’m trying to figure out why people would rather pay giant deductibles, copays, and monthly payments plus overage🤷♀️

Stupid stupid stupid idea. It would cost over 3.6 trillion a year. We can’t even get the VA right with a couple thousand veterans let alone 320 million. Democrats are so stupid thinking this would even work.

Here is the quick, easy, sure-fire was to tell Medicare for all is a horrible idea: the dems are the ONLY demographic in this poll who support it. That’s all you need to know.

Hate to be difficult. If not publicly administered, then a hybrid that has industry insurers bidding with the government to administer payments to providers. Prices are negotiated with a single entity.

Medicare doesnt even improve patient outcomes over the uninsured. If you want to drastically lower the US life expectancy, this is EXACTLY how you would do it.

I prefer my private insurance. I pay a lot for it, but I prefer that over anything else. My husband pays for private insurance as well vs going to the VA (which he is allowed to do). If Gov run healthcare is amazing, why do so many vets choose private insurance?

MCFA is a terrible idea. It is however, better than for private health insurance. I chose yes, but in all honesty neither if there's two would be my choice.

In the long run, yes (for the most part). In the short term, let people buy into Medicare. If the private sector can do it better, like all of the conservatives tell me, then I'm sure they won't mind the option.

Omg NO! The government cant run anything. It wont be free for everyone. Just those on welfare and medicaid. The rest of us will pay big premiums to cover them. Medicare is not free now. There is a monthly premium and its about $130 a month. Then you have to pay extra for prescription medicare. So anyone that thinks it will be free better stop and think. Someone will be paying for it...you!

Remove government regulations and requirements for coverage. Decouple insurance from employment entirely. Get ride of PPO and HMO and just have a high deductible health plan for all. Make it easy to establish a pre-tax HSA that can be used to cover the deductible.
A $20 copay leads to higher premiums. Imagine if you could get four new tires for $5/tire (as a copay). Obviously there would be a high premium to cover the cost of tires as people would buy new tires far more often, whether they truly need them or not. The same is true with healthcare. If people pay $X out of pocket before insurance kicks in, they’ll be far less likely to go to the doctor when they don’t need to. Demand will decrease and the amount of money insurance companies pays out will decrease. Thus, premiums will decrease.

FYI Medicare already uses private insurance already if someone wants an Advantage or Supplement program on top of Parts A and B that are primarily to cover medical big ticket items.

Why are we directing our anger and precieved issues towards INSURANCE. INSURANCE covers the cost of HEALTH CARE. Insurance is not the problem, its the inflated cost of healthcare is the problem. Why don't we fix the problem at the source, rather then "out lefting" an "opponent". Wake up people, INSURANCE is political; HEALTH CARE is real.

1.) Elimination of a private institution by the government is pure fucking tyranny.
2.) The healthcare triple threat: universality, quality, affordability - pick two
3.) The US is one of the best healthcare innovation leaders. All the countries with socialized medicine are beneficiaries of our system. When you undoubtedly hinder the quality and innovation of the US healthcare, you’re not only hurting the US healthcare quality, but all of the dependent beneficiary countries that have socialized systems. That’s a lose-lose
4.) Healthcare is not a right
5.) The thought the government can run more efficiently than a private company is incredibly naive. What would a government shut down to to the medical field?
6.) You will wait absolutely forever to receive care. My friend’s grandfather died at the hands of Canada’s healthcare system because “it wasn’t his turn in line yet.”

Private Insurers have been ripping us off and sometimes killing us! Obama care is not affordable to most Americans. Instead of paying into a system that doesn't fix inherent problems it would be better to pay into Medicare that we know works. Congress gets Medicare Insurance! So should we!

I'm seeing all these ideas that if you get rid of insurance companies we'll still be paying the same. There's something all you guys who said yes are forgetting. The amount of people going to the hospital will be much much higher than it currently is. People will be going in for everything because "it's free". This by itself will significantly rise costs, let alone wait times.

Basic, preventative care should be public as it reduces total healthcare costs in the long term. And I mean, if we're championing "citizens first" philosophy, we need to be actually taking care of our people. Anything above that could be privatized and competition will keep costs reasonable, so long as there is oversight to prevent monopolies.

The problem is half the counties mentally ill. Over half the voters last election voted for a criminal to put in office?!? And then Florida voters are mentally ill also, they tried to vote in that Dirty Negro, that is a criminal also. What the fuck is wrong with people. GREED AND LAZINESS PEOPLES
