Stop calling it Medicare for All and we will see a serious decrease in "attacks" [View all] TidalWave46 Oct 2019 OP

Medicare For All WAS the rebranding of "Single Payer" DrToast Oct 2019 #1

It was also a rebranding of the term socialized health care. wcast Oct 2019 #3

Exactly. SP is a scary unknown. "Medicare" is something people understand and like. thesquanderer Oct 2019 #27

It is a way to lie to people! wasupaloopa Oct 2019 #29

It's not a lie, it's a metaphor. thesquanderer Oct 2019 #31

Looks like a lie to me. Call it what you want. It is bait and switch. wasupaloopa Oct 2019 #36

The bait and switch is, it's not Medicare, it's Medicare but better. thesquanderer Oct 2019 #39

M4A does not exist and never will! It is a paper Bernie wrote and not even complete. It is pie in wasupaloopa Oct 2019 #43

re: "You act as if it is laying there on the table and all we have to do is implement it." thesquanderer Oct 2019 #45

Everyone should get rid of the word "Medicare" in reference to any healthcare insurance plan... George II Oct 2019 #5

healthcare in america is not based on preventative measures as there is money to be made in sick beachbumbob Oct 2019 #6

That is where people go wrong. TidalWave46 Oct 2019 #7

the great majority is not preventative care, Medicaid for instance is reactive and why that beachbumbob Oct 2019 #11

Too late. The media likes to call it that just like "ObamaCare" is the name they gave book_worm Oct 2019 #10

democrats are simply HORRIBLE at marketing. beachbumbob Oct 2019 #13

This, I agree with Baked Potato Oct 2019 #40

I think we should call it "ice cream" Act_of_Reparation Oct 2019 #12

lol, not by those who know they will be paying for the ice cream beachbumbob Oct 2019 #14

I don't think that's accurate. Act_of_Reparation Oct 2019 #15

well assume whatever you want, all I know is we are not a left-center country and beachbumbob Oct 2019 #17

I don't know what assumption you're referring to... Act_of_Reparation Oct 2019 #18

The assumptiom that Americans want single payer free health care paid for by higher taxes. wasupaloopa Oct 2019 #30

As I am a very stupid person, I don't recall doing the the thing you said I did. Act_of_Reparation Oct 2019 #33

This whole debae is about M4A which you support . wasupaloopa Oct 2019 #35

Nowhere did I voice support for M4A. Act_of_Reparation Oct 2019 #37

Yep. There isn't much difference. NT TidalWave46 Oct 2019 #23

Don't think changing the name is going to make people more comfortable until they know Hoyt Oct 2019 #16

I fully agree with this. TidalWave46 Oct 2019 #22

Is this the bargaining stage? aidbo Oct 2019 #19

My apologies, I'm not sure what you mean. NT TidalWave46 Oct 2019 #21

Rebranding won't help. We can try realistically for a public option, but not with a fake demand highplainsdem Oct 2019 #24

It was deliberately framed as MFA because the thought was that everyone loved Medicare MichMan Oct 2019 #25

Medicare for all was chosen as an easily understood alternative to single payer BlueMississippi Oct 2019 #26

No it does not. The ACA is our starting point. We cannot afford single payer. We can't go from here wasupaloopa Oct 2019 #28

Do specifics help? Midnightwalk Oct 2019 #32

Let's just get rid of the entire English language marybourg Oct 2019 #34
