Schumer says he's for the "best and the cheapest" healthcare for Americans.

11. I support universal healthcare care. But am against Medicare for all.

Mainly because it’s cost have never been shown. And we can’t seriously consider studies that show societal savings rather than government outlays and how to pay for it. I agree it would save society tremendously. But no one has even tried to show how to fill the government coffers enough to pay for it.

But the largest barrier is the 50% who get their healthcare from their employer. They will not vote for a party pushing a plan that removes their coverage regardless of the rosy scenarios often given.

Instead, greatly expand the ACA, make insurance nonprofit, keep employers on the hook and use increased marginal tax rates to provide coverage for those without. It’s not rocket science. This is the way many Western European nations did it.

And until we cut our ridiculous military spending there will never be enough money to take care of the people.
