Sanders Medicare for All, raising taxes, and the Establishment Pushback
Most everyone understands the concept that you will pay more in taxes for Sanders Medicare for All. But this is greatly offset by not having to pay the health insurance middlemen their monthly premium. Less money flows out of your personal and household budget.
The Democratic third-way establishment folks like Clinton and Pelosi rail that it is raising taxes on the middleclass. This is a typical republican ploy. Although nobody likes paying taxes, mature people know this is a requirement for a successful society.
The reason Clinton and the third-way democrats despise instituting a Medicare for All contribution tax is because people will see it coming out of their paycheck. When people see specific payroll deductions, like SS and Medicare for All, the people will demand an effective and fair health care system. And, people will proudly accept this payroll contribution for affordable and effective healthcare. Once implemented, the people will demand this healthcare system and fight against any negative changes...just like Social Security.
The Establishment is pushing back against Medicare for All because there is so much cash going into the pockets of insurance executives, stockholders, and of course politicians. Health Insurers literally make Billion$ in profit every year. It is a cash cow for the 1%.
And this is why we the people must pushback against this disgusting insurance thievery and support Medicare for All.
