Medicare For All

[Baron2024]

The MAGA Republicans want to cut federal programs and "save money" by throwing the sick, the hungry, the disabled, and the elderly out in the streets. If they really wanted to save money, they would support Medicare For All. If we had Universal Health Care/Medicare For All we would save an estimated $450 billion dollars a year (this information is from an article in the Lancet from back in February of 2020. I do not immediately have a link.).

If the MAGA Republicans are serious about saving money, they would support Medicare For All. It would also save an estimated 68,000 lives a year and vastly improve the health and quality of life of all Americans. The billionaire oligarchs have all the money in the world but apparently they want more, and at the expense of the American people. They really need to be stopped.

1. The Medicare for All bill that Bernie wrote in 2016 was a damn good bill.

We were told then and now by both parties Medicare for All will never, never happen. And that's a damn shame

8. Half of Medicare has been privatized.

We have actually lost ground massively on Medicare.

Medicare for All is a slogan and those using it without pointing out what has happened and is continuing to happen to Medicare are doing us all a big disservice.

What many Dems said years ago was that the private healthcare industry and lobby were so powerful that they could not be ignored and while full national healthcare for all could not be implemented immediately. In fact a huge part of the US citizenry was opposed to it.

2. None of this is about saving money. It's about vengeance.

I still don’t understand why they hate us so much

7. I Agree

I think part of the answer might be that the MAGA Republican Party attracts sociopaths. Not all Republicans are sociopaths. I know some that are decent people but they are misguided, I think. That said, I think that the MAGA Republican Party is full of sociopaths. They are just out for their own personal power and wealth and they don't care who they hurt to get what they want. In fact, as sociopaths they enjoy hurting others. It is tragic. These people should be incarcerated in a psychiatric facility, not running our country. Trump, Miller, Musk, Ramaswamy all have narcissistic traits and possibly sociopathy, in my opinion. There are probably others too.

3. Medicare for all doesn't "save" rich people any money. It costs them

Take the profits out of paying for medical care and a huge chunk of wealthy people income goes away.

Edit to add, if Americans aren't dependent upon the employer to help paying for medical care, it also gets harder for crappy employers to keep employees.

6. Right

That is my point. If they really wanted to save the country money, they would support Medicare For All. They don't care about saving the American people money. They care about saving themselves money. Even if it means throwing the disabled, the poor, and the elderly out into the streets. These people have all the money in the world but they want more. Now Americans have to suffer because of these oligarchs. They should be put up against the wall.

4. If the MAGA Republicans are serious about saving money,

>> they would support Medicare For All.

That would mean giving healthcare to people they don't like. They'd rather deprive themselves of good things than see undesirables get them.

5. they are doing the exact opposite

the end goal of Medicare ":Advantage" is to GET RID OF MEDICARE

they are WELL ON THEIR WAY, they have already enticed over half of seniors to get on these scams, and Project 2025 aims to make them the DEFAULT to speed it all up

[Celerity]

9. Instead, get ready for Medicare Advantage For All.
