Sanders just said his MFA ends all premiums. I'm on Medicare. I pay a monthly premium.

181. Medicare for all.

Pity people can't see past a name and look at details.

'Obamacare' has the name Obama in it, hate Obama, so you must hate Obamacare. Never mind the details of what Obamacare actually is.

Same for MFA - has the word Medicare in it, so it must be expensive, have co-pays, deductibles, etc, right? And never mind looking at the details.

Shallow thinking at it's worst.

Maybe call it something else? NHC, for National Health Care? or UHC, Universal health care?
Whatever. But do yourself a favour, and look for the details behind the name, ok?

But yes. The (supposedly) richest, most advanced nation on the planet hasn't got a seriously efficient healthcare system? After how many centuries? The mind boggles!

Strange though, those who say 'we can't afford it!' have never thrown that idea around when it comes to other large government expenditures, like the Army, Navy, Air Force.
