1. Medicare for all would eventually replace private insurance

Medicare isn't listed on the stock exchange, just needs to break even.

2. They don't want us to have

Medicare at all.

4. Bingo

Or Social Security

In just 7 months the magapub voters have destroyed so much. I hate those people.

[erronis]

3. I prepaid into it for 45 years before I became eligible

5. They don't even consider us as human beings

They look down their noses and want to go back to the good old days where they could rule over us, enslave people and work people until they died.

Fuck no they don't want us to have healthcare.

8. No precedent in america, but universal healthcare

for all exists in other countries, so there are precedents for america to use as a foundation to build on.

9. Sad fact is that all major healthcare legislation in last 30 years has involved private insurers-- ACA, Part D, Part C,

Medicaid expanision, etc.

Maybe we can buck trend, but I doubt it. We'll be sitting here 20 years from now debating the same issue. Hopefully, Congress will reinstall the Covid expanded ACA subsidies, but that's questionable too.

10. Oh, and can I just say fawk em all!!!!!!!

🤬 🤬 🤬 🤬 🤬

11. There was no precedent for...

Social Security …
ANY government medical care assistance …
ANY social services…
Military equipment manufacturing …
Food safety laws and inspections…
… before these services were first introduced.

No precedent for Medicare for All? Meaningless. Our government, lest some forget, is for serving the people. Someday, when we finally have enough elected officials who care about serving the people, we will get Medicare for all. Hopefully, it will be soon. There is no law granting health insurance companies the right to operate in perpetuity.

12. How about a trade?

Universal Health care and mandatory insurance on all guns. Minimum $10 million coverage on each weapon.

Insurance companies have a guaranteed replacement market and the citizenry an immediate reduction in the proliferation of weapons in the USA.

14. Great idea! And the NRA can collect the gun insurance and be in charge of Medicare payments....

Wait - I don't think that would work well for us.

But I do like your idea without my stupid NRA appendage.

15. There was a time when I believed that America

(Even tho’ imperfect) had the best interests of the people as their guiding light. Now, I believe that those leading (oligarchs) our nation tend to believe that people are not necessary, we’re expendable and serve little purpose aside from consumption. I believe that the powers-that-be really believe that AI will replace most of our (skilled and educated) population with the exception of that requiring non-repetitive physical labor. They have figured out that they really no-longer need a consumer society when they have all the money. So, by replacing the non-essential people with AI, the remaining people will always be fighting to survive. Mostly, fighting ourselves. We are obsolete and a lot of us are supporting this future, knowingly or unknowingly.
